About Me

Rural, GA, United States
I'm an army wife, working mom of 2 kids.! My husband Tim is a Soldier In the army. I work for MWR for the Community Recreation Division as an admin assistant...I absolutely LOVE my job I couldn't have found anything better! My daughter, Kennedie, was born in January of 04 and our son, Cale, was born June of 09. Kennedie is VERY involved in dancing, she is in her 11th season (2019-2020) of being a competitive dancer. It's exhausting but we LOVE it. Cale is starting to REALLY get into sports. He is on a year round wrestling team, and he plays baseball in the spring! This blog started out as a recipe sharing venture but now it's going to turn into a more "granola" way to live. Cheap recipes more homemade recipes and re-purposing things. I'm a crafter at heart so I'm going to throw some of that in there too! On Valentines Day of 2017 we bought our first Travel Trailer. I'll be documenting our travels also on this blog!

Our First Baby Bird has left the nest - Army Retirement


The first member of our Ohana had his retirement ceremony yesterday.  He won't officially retire for another month or so but they did the ceremony for it.  (One of our Ohana was medically retired a couple years ago but didn't get a ceremony)
Up on the stage being announced and describing where he worked and how many years of service he had completed.
Getting his medal, certificate and flag.  His wife received an award for her service as well.
Official picture!
Two of the ladies made lei's to give to him and his wife.  They were beautiful!
Recieving line to congratulate everyone!  We definitely got some looks when there were 6 of us lined up in line with lei's in our hand!  Maybe a little jealousy?  :P
One friend was a little excited to give him a pink lei!
All decked out in their leis.
All the guys.  One of the guys works with all of them.
With all the wives of our Ohana.  These ladies are my tribe for sure.  We all pull together and help when needed.  Almost like a sister wife without the sharing of husbands!
My ohana.  8 adults, 12 kids...we are outnumbered!  But I love my life with them in it, and couldn't imagine it without them in it.
