My major Achilles’ heel in dieting is always food preparation and planning. I might be on board and make healthy meals, but I tend to stray with snacking. Once the snacking goes south, the rest of the plan tends to follow. Mainly because pizza > salad. Starting the 21 Day Fix has been pretty easy because I made a big effort to prepare myself. I have two sets of containers,… View Post »
New unit jitters
Mac is back at work this week in his new unit and a new job as the signal officer for an infantry division. I’m nervous. Not about him because he’s wonderful and professional. We haven’t been with a traditional Army unit for close to two years, and making friends as adults is a lot more difficult than it was in my younger years. When we were at Bragg, I met my… View Post »

Earth Balance offers a lot of options like dairy-free or soy-free for people… View Post »
Why I only dated my husband
A new season of 19 Kids and Counting is starting , and public opinion over Jill’s relatively short relationship and quick pregnancy announcement and Jessa’s slightly longer courtship is still raging. People are also questioning the concept of courtship as all of the kids have courted instead of dating. I have a confession (that is no longer a surprise because of my post title): I’ve only dated Mac. Personally, I… View Post »
