In last week’s post I said that I was looking forward to the “joy” challenge because I was going to take pictures of my girls at the airport picking up their great-grandmother – Granny.

Weekly Check-In aka Shredding Sucks
So it’s that time of week where I will share with the internets (and the sisters) what kind of exercise I’ve accomplished. To start the week off, I did both run and shred last Wednesday. It wasn’t fun, but I did it. On Friday, which is a normal treadmill day for me, I didn’t make [...]

To those who serve or have served and their families
I found this video via Bouhammer and Bill & Bob’s. I don’t remember what path in blog-hopping I took to end at their respective places, but I’m glad I did. They have a lot of insight and information from a different point of view than most.
