July already? In honor of my 25th birthday this year (umm, what?), I’ve decided against traditional new year’s resolutions and am hopping on the 25 for 25 bandwagon. Basically, 25 goals I want to accomplish by my 25th birthday on September 18. 1. Be a better Christian: attend church regularly, finish The Purpose Driven Life, read the Bible. 2. Lose 25 pounds and keep it off.I joined a gym. I’m… View Post »
Baked spaghetti
Mac first introduced me to baked spaghetti at an Italian restaurant in Falls Church called Anthony’s. Since we don’t live anywhere near there, I whipped up my own version. Baked spaghetti is a delicious remix of the standard baked pasta dishes. The ricotta cheese melts together with the marinara to make a creamy sauce. This baked spaghetti recipe is also very adaptable. You can also easily change this recipe to be… View Post »

Army wife: job or lifestyle?
I, like many of y’all, have an account on LinkedIn. I was looking through the profiles of several women I know from the Junior League of Fayetteville and came across one woman. She is a fellow Army wife and has not been employed since moving to Fayetteville. She has her volunteer experience listed as work experience (even though LinkedIn has a section for you to list community service separately). It is actually… View Post »

More meal prep
We’re still having issues at our apartment with food spoiling really quickly. Half of a ten bag pound of potatoes started molding in less than two weeks! I managed to salvage the other taters and prep some food for freezing. And forgive the iPhone photos, no camera cord in sight. I also lay everything flat to freeze it evenly. Hash browns: you make fresh hash browns by grating the potatoes… View Post »
Who?
Or Mac’s new favorite commercial. Whenever I talk about my friends, family, and sisters, he always asks me, “Who?” In his defense, he generally meets my people in groups like at bars or family holidays. Needless to say, this is hilarious to us.
Sunday Social: trips
1. What is the best trip you’ve ever been on?I really loved going to London in high school. But I also love road trips. 2. What is your best idea for a girls’ weekend trip?I have to say my girlfriends really helped me through the end of Mac’s deployment. We went to Blacksburg for almost every game and traveled to a few others. Nothing like Hokie football and your favorite… View Post »
