The days have begun getting ever so shorter, and maybe just maybe you are catching a break from the sweltering heat. The neighborhood kids scoot down the sidewalk each day with their lunch pails and backpacks, and autumn is just around the corner. For many people out there, the end of summer means the beginning …
The Deployment Jinx
What am I talking about? The Deployment Jinx. You can call it any name you want. A Curse. A Hex. The Murphy’s Law of Military Life. But as soon as you finish the goodbyes, and work on getting yourself into the pattern of “Deployment Mode” you are simply biding your time. Something is going to …
Remembering YOU in Army Life
Simple Skincare products, Plush bathrobe and slippers, book of inspirational quotes and gift card donations were provided for this post. Winner will be picked at random on Feb 19th and e-mailed. Over the years of being an Army Wife, I’ve learned a few things. Some of the lessons were easily learned, some not so much. …
Meet Ann Marie
I want to take a moment and introduce you to this great lady, Ann Marie. I first “met” Ann Marie several years ago, when I came across her blog, Household 6 Diva. At first glance, you might think from a name like “diva” that she’s one of those picture-perfect, too good to be true “women …
Sequestration and the Military Family
Everywhere I turn lately, all I hear are “furlough-this” and “sequestration-that.” I’m going to do my absolute best to keep politics out of this post, because The Foodie Army Wife is clearly not a political blog. Coming from the perspective of a military family who is seeing this unfold before our eyes, it is pretty …
Redstone Arsenal–Our New Home
We’ve now been at Redstone Arsenal for over a month. It is a very different installation – vastly different that any place we have ever been. The first week we arrived, we signed for housing on Monday morning and then headed to the PX to pick up the things we needed for our new home. …
Independence Day
The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and …
My New Kitchen
I have finally “finished” my kitchen. Meet my ‘”Itsy-Bitsy-Teeny-Weeny-Second-Smallest-I’ve-Ever-Had-Kitchenini.” Seriously. This is the second smallest kitchen I have ever had. I had to get very creative with storage. I’ve kind of taken over every closet the house. Okay, not every closet, but it feels like my kitchen has simply invaded the whole house. My glassware …
Settling into Our New Home
This past week has been incredibly busy. Last weekend we made the final leg of our trip from Tennessee down to Rocket City, USA – aka. Huntsville, Alabama.
PCS 2013: Our New Home
After travelling thousands of miles, our next task was to find a place to live. This is probably one of the most stressful parts of PCSing. Searching for your new home, in a place you don’t yet know. After countless phone calls, and searches and “No, that house is already rented” or “No, we don’t …
PCS 2013: Days 16-18 | Kansas, Missouri and on to Tennessee
After staying two nights in Colorado, one on each end of the state, we continued heading east through Kansas and Missouri. Oh, and in Denver we stopped at Bass Pro Shop. I had a photo op with a couple of my favorite celebrities. Okay, with cutouts of my favorite celebrities. While in Missouri, we spent …
PCS 2013: Days 14 and 15 | Colorado
On our 14th day of travel, we made it to Colorado! We stayed at the James M. Robb Colorado River State Park. When we got to our spot, we found we had a camp host. There were also a few cotton tails hopping around camp. Jack was in charge of grilling supper that night! And …
