Adventures of a Military Family of 8

No Anchor Can Hold Us Down...

From the oven with lovin’ … #SFSmarties

As a Military Family we are used to spending meals apart, so we make it a point to eat together every chance we get.  From the shopping to the cooking, it becomes a Family affair.  The entire Family shops together, and our go-to store is Smart & Final.  We’re there 3-4 times a week, and...

During the cold & flu months, we turn to Pedialyte for help #PedialyteSingles

January 4, 2011 in Uncategorized
    
Without fail our kids have always gotten sick during the winter months, having them all at home at the same time doesn’t help either.  It always has started with one kid coming home from school feeling sick, and it’s downhill from there.  One after the other they start with the sniffles and everything else, by the third day I have a living room full of “sickies”.  Mommy turns into Nurse and it’s 24/7 hour...

    
Being a Military Family is hard, you move away often and leave your friends & Family behind.  One of the easiest ways to stay in contact is by phone or e-mail, even Facebook and Twitter for some of us right?  Do you want to know what I have found to be the best way to keep in touch with the world?  Sending care packages 😉  Not only to the US Soldier’s...

Let me begin by introducing myself, I am Lily; the woman who only used a slow cooker/ crock pot for nacho cheese during a birthday party.  Now that we got that out of the way, WOW!!! The things people make with the slow cookers are amazing!!!  I seriously had no idea what to do with them, hence the nacho cheese; but now; hold me back!!!

One day, and hopefully soon.  Now don’t get scared, I’m not talking about things ending in THAT way 😉I am simply talking about all these bad things that keep happening.  I know that you have noticed my blogging has seriously dwindled, I pop up once in a while and let you know new reasons why I am away.  It has just been so much to deal with.  I have been told by many...

Sharing & Caring the Smart & Final way #SFSmarties

December 24, 2010 in Uncategorized
    
If I had to categorize one store under “sharing & caring” it would definitely be Smart & Final.  As I have made it very clear before, I LOVE the Smart & Final stores.  Not only the stores, but what they do and stand for, at least in my eyes.  Smart & Final graciously offered to host a Thanksgiving dinner for 25+ Service members at my house, they provided me with the gift card and...

Being in social media means always being in a fast paced world.  Networking, socializing, anything you can think of, all happening at the same time.  I never thought in the 4 years that I blogged anonymously that I would ever do it publicly; let alone make real friendships.  I started publicly blogging in Nov. 2009 and immediately things were different, I was me!  No longer hiding, I was open and it felt great.
