Recently I’ve had a lot of friends tell me they don’t know how I do it. How do I not go crazy from all our moving and instability and not knowing where we are headed next? First of all, let’s be honest. I’m not perfect, and anxiety sometimes gets the best of me. It’s a lot to take on, this nomadic life we live. But for the most part, I…
As we head into the weekend, I wanted to share three things I’m loving right now. As someone who gives a weary side-eye to commercials and marketing tactics, I love to get the scoop on new things from people I trust. So please share something you’re loving in the comments, I want to get the scoop from you! ***** Live fashionABLE – I had never paid good money for a…
Five years ago we moved from Tucson to Gilbert, Arizona. Two weeks ago, we returned from a summer in Montana. One month from now, we will be making another big move. There are boxes everywhere.

Leaves changing colors, temperatures dropping, the things we miss out on at home.…
We have spent the past two summers living in Frenchtown, Montana while Jeff coaches the Missoula Osprey baseball team. Instead of living in a random apartment, we were blessed to be able to stay with a host family. The Teagle Family gave us a sense of home, even when we were so far from everything we knew.
