So I don't have TikTok, but I love seeing the stay at home girlfriend videos. Some of them accurately reflect my life as a stay at home wife. I'm a stay at home mom in the summer and on school breaks, but the rest of the time I'm a stay at home wife. My day … Continue reading Stay at Home Girlfriends

Tropical Storm
Tropical storm Nicole is getting close. The sky is gray and the waves are crazy. I can see them turning white from my back porch. School might be canceled tomorrow. I hope it is. I don't want to drive in a tropical storm. This isn't a hurricane like Ian (at least it won't be when … Continue reading Tropical Storm
Tasks I Want To Do
My husband gets home from El Salvador tomorrow night. I haven't been on top of my homemaking. I started the week extremely depressed. As of yesterday I was starting to perk up, but I haven't been sleeping great at night so I've been sleeping a lot during the day. My father in law goes home … Continue reading Tasks I Want To Do
Long Day
This morning Craig left for El Salvador. I woke up before he did and didn't manage to fall back asleep until after his plane took off at 6. My father in law arrived last night to take my daughter to school this morning. I am so glad he's here. For some reason, maybe the bad … Continue reading Long Day

Today we adopted Aurora from a wonderfully kind, retired Navy lady. She took Aurora in and named her when her neighbor died and his kids threw his dog out on the street. She found her sad and scared and pregnant. Aurora had 11 puppies and took care of them. The lady made a post in … Continue reading Meet Aurora!
Weight Loss Goals
I normally hate to put out any weight loss goals because it feels like if you put your goals out there you're more likely to fail, and then of course everyone knows you tried to lose weight and failed. But what I've come to realize is that maybe it could work the other way. It … Continue reading Weight Loss Goals
Now We Both Have Covid
I was sick all last week with Covid. I am feeling a lot better, but I still have a cough and feel achey and tired. Craig has it too now unfortunately. We slept apart all week so he wouldn't get sick, but to no avail. Now he might have to work from home this week, … Continue reading Now We Both Have Covid
We Need to Put More Time into Our Friendships
We (as in women) need to put more energy into keeping up with our friends. Loneliness and depression are rampant among women, but yet many women will admit that they never text their friends. There's a challenge going around to stop texting your friends 1st and see who the dead plants are. And some women … Continue reading We Need to Put More Time into Our Friendships
Fruit and Spice Garden
We went to Homestead, FL to the Fruit and Spice garden. It was beautiful, though we got eaten alive by mosquitoes.
