I love a girl that knows what she wants, and sometimes we change our minds. 😅 thankfully, I was already ready so I could focus on making sure she got the style she was looking for. #4chair #4chairstyles #naturalhairstyles #adoptivemom #transracialadoption #soloparenting #militarylife #southernmomma #TikTokMom

We are 6 weeks in and I have to say, so far it is helping. 🤪 #armywife #army #fortbragg #militaryspouse #milspouse #humor @Disney Parks #disneyparks

“Celebrating” Memorial Day has always seen a bit strange to me, a weekend of remembrance to me felt more solemn. My perspective has slowly grown as I know you can carry heavy emotions, appreciation and celebration at the same time. This weekend we will surely remember those who have given all for what they believe, may their courage and sacrifice be persevered forever. 💙🇺🇸❤️ #MilitarySpouseLife #armywife #militaryspouse #DeploymentDiaries #MilitaryLove #mdw #memorialday #memorialdayweekend

No Nancy. I didn’t sign up for a decade of infertility and for the Army to be major contributing factor. It’s also so patronizing when people say, “at least he isn’t gone for 15 months, I had to do that alone with 3 kids.” I’m so sorry no one validated how terribly hard that must have been on you, and I am so sorry you had to endure that with no support. But I’m allowed to say “this sucks, and I miss my husband.”

Say a prayer for me. I’ve cried all day.

Send this to your husband, because I’m sure you deserve it too. J has tried to get me to go for years, and I will never dismiss the opportunity to go again. Idk what was in the smoothie, water, and massage but I left a different person. #armywife #milspouse #militarylife #militaryfamily #fortbragg #milspo #southenliving #pinehurst

Show must go on and sorry but not sorry I’m not changing clothes again, I have an egg hunt to get to. #southernliving #smalltown #armywife #deployment #army #navy #marines #coastguard #fortbragg #colorfulfits

When your husband books you a massage from halfway around the world… This solo parenting season has been no joke, but this week I snuck away to the Pinehurst Spa for a much-needed reset, courtesy of my deployed husband, who somehow always knows when I’m running on fumes. From the eucalyptus steam to the deep tissue massage he gifted me, it felt like he wrapped me in a hug from miles away. If you’re a military spouse holding it down, I hope this reminds you that you’re allowed to slow down. Rest is resistance. And girl—you deserve it. #MilitarySpouseLife #armywife #deployment #militaryspouse #SoloParenting #PinehurstSpa #DeploymentDiaries #SelfCareIsntSelfish #MomReset #MilitaryLove #SpaVlog #DeployedButConnected #MomLifeUnfiltered #TikTokMom #WeekendReset

From dysregulated nervous system and stuck in fight or flight, to feeling like I can breath and not like I’m just waiting for another bad thing to happen, God has carried me through. I am so thankful. ✨ I would love to hear how God is working in your life, I find so much faith and encouragement in hearing other people God stories!

Doing normal things like running errands and setting your table on a not so normal day feels so strange. I wish J was here to be with his family, but I find so much peace knowing Grandma Gail is healed and with Jesus.

For the record I bought my own push lawn mower because I don’t want to attempt his Snapper. #millennial #MilitarySpouseLife #MomLifeUnfiltered #militaryspouse #armywife #MilitaryLove #deploymentlife #SoloParenting

3 months down. ❤️ #deployment #armylife #army #deploymentdiaries #armywife #milsolife #milspo

The slow pace of a small town, golden hour on the porch, a sweet treat drink in a cute cup, is seriously what my soul craves. 🌞 #southernliving #southernmama #cozyathome #classicstyle #nancymyers #buttermom

It was really eye opening to see how many people had ugly things to say about how I deal with J being gone. I’m not new to him being gone and I’ll be the first to admit it doesn’t get easier, but over time you do find ways to cope. ✨ Sometimes that’s through travel, sometimes it’s by humor, sometimes it’s by shopping, but most of the time it’s by being surrounded by a village of people who are there for you. Whether it’s family, friends or other spouses, I wouldn’t make it without our village. My number one advice to new or young spouses is always to find your people, because having people at every duty station and in every season of love has been invaluable. 💗 #armywife #milspouse #militarylife #militaryfamily #armylife #fortbragg #milspo #militaryspouseappreciationday #navywife #marinewife #airforce #coastguardwife

Only one of us is treated for ADHD, but the other clearly has it. #armywife #blacklab #labrador #blacklabsoftiktok #deploymentlife #fortbragg #humor

Replying to @brie🌷 I can tell you to write letters and work on communication, but you have probably already heard that. Seriously, take the time a part to focus on your own passions, interest and ambitions. 💗 #armywife #fortbragg #milspouse #deploymentlife #navy #airforce #marines #coastguard #armygirlfriend #milso

Replying to @Haileyb even if I wasn’t a military spouse, I would still have difficult seasons and hard days. We all go through different seasons, and maybe I should do a better job of showing all them.
