My photo
I am a mother of 5 wonderful children and wife to one amazing Navy man. I am always changing things in my life, constantly learning something new and trying it out. I am a wannabe vegan, minimalist and currently living full time in an RV. Just for clarification, I say wannabe, because I know I am not perfect, but each day I strive to do the best I can. That's all I can expect from anyone no matter where they are in life. I learn something new everyday...mostly about myself and my little corner of reality. Life, to me, is loving, learning and making memories. These are better than all the tangible riches one can get their hands on! Besides, there will come a day when all I have left is my love and memories...so I'll stockpile as much of those as I can!
Happiness...


Many things bring happiness to many different people. For our family, at this moment our happiness is stems from making our dreams come true. Right now we are happy because we found the house that we wanted. Our offer was accepted. Our minds are full of thankfulness and about a zillion ideas of what to do next.

Now that we have a contract on our dream house, we have a few weeks on our hands just to explore our new surroundings. It is really nice for us that we have this precious time with our kids. Everything is new and fresh. A new state. A new house. New people to meet. Mountains to climb. Libraries to find. Parks and zoos and the list goes on. Lots and lots to do. Most importantly is that we are gonna be doing it together. A family with a mom and a dad. How grateful we are for shore-duty!

We are so fortunate to be in this new chapter of life and it's endless possibilities. I am anxious to share it all here as time allows. I will be posting pictures just as soon as I have the spare time to go through them. Just know that we are a VERY happy family who knows how truly blessed we are.

Famous Quotes



"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experience." -- Anne Sullivan
