Nothing says fun like fixing your gray water tank for laundry. A few months ago we had a plumber notice our water leaking out into the yard. It wasn’t a pressing issue because it wasn’t backing up, but it was something that needed to be addressed eventually. They quoted us $1200. Trying to save money, […]

WRITING A BOOK
The time has come. After years of wanting to write a book about my experience of having a child with special needs, being a military wife, and eventually homeschooling…I’m writing a book. (At least I’m starting the process.) It all started with the suggestion after Jac’s birth that I should write down my birth experience […]
WHY ISN’T MY DIET WORKING?
It’s been two weeks since my last blog, honestly, it’s been hard to sit down and do things…even things I love. I’ve embraced this homebody thing a little too much I think. lol On the other hand, I do think it’s good to “check out” sometimes. We get so caught up in day-to-day happenings, […]
CALM IN CRISIS…WHAT CAN WE DO?

TODAY I CRIED
TODAY I CRIED… Today, I cried. Not because I was sad, but because I am happy. I’m happy because for the first time in almost three years, I felt like Kelley. I have been very open about my struggle with depression and anxiety. It’s difficult to share about, but I think it can be helpful […]
BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU…IT’S NOT WEIRD
LAST WEEKEND Last weekend I attended a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu seminar. I ended up working with my husband for most of the afternoon, and we got lots of great pictures of us together. I was so excited: 1. We don’t have a lot of pictures of us together. 2. I don’t have a lot of […]
MAKING IT HAPPEN
MAKING IT HAPPEN Last week I wrote about how I lost the weight after babies, but making it happen can be difficult. This week I’m here to talk about more of the details. Sometimes as moms, we get overwhelmed and we have this idea that things have to be perfect and we have to […]
HOW I LOST THE WEIGHT
