  • My commissary strategy

    A perk of military life is access to the military commissaries. As a lifelong military dependent, I’ve spent my whole life shopping in the commissary.

  • The Wild Animal Sanctuary

    Mac and I love supporting wild animal rescues that take animals from less than ideal situations. The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado, sits a bit of I-76 about a 30 or minute drive from Denver. We decided to make the trip up there over Memorial Day weekend of 2016.
