Throwback Thursday

On June 28, 2001, I was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. After 12 long weeks of Officer Training School, which seemed like a lifetime back then, we were finally real people again. I had no idea what the world would bring in the upcoming months.

The long awaited “Kathryn” Molly Bear

I have talked about Molly Bears before in posts on the blog, but never done a dedicated post. That’s a shame, because it is in incredible organization. My friend Jennifer actually interviewed the founder of Molly Bears, Bridget, for a Philanthropy Friday in January 2013. I had actually already requested my bear at that point […]

I Need Some Help Here!

Can I just say how refreshing it is to read about other moms who also dislike their children? Well, not all the time, but those little stinkers KNOW how to push my buttons. Like when my two year old is about to do something naughty and I tell her to stop. She looks right at […]

Did you know that today, Friday July 13, 2014 – is the FIRST time since 1919 that Friday the 13th and a full moon occur on the same day? Bizarre! (Well now that’s in the past because I did not get this posted in time!) Random information… but those are the types of things we […]

1 in 5 children in America will go hungry this summer

But we can help end child hunger! 90% of the children who rely on school lunch programs will go hungry over the summer time. How many of us actually even think about child hunger from day to day? I’ll admit, I’m guilty. It’s something I think about often, but not daily. Last night we went […]
