There is nothing like a vacation to make you thankful for the time you have together with your spouse and family. We were recently blessed with a trip to Disneyland. Something we didn't think would happen for quite sometime because we wanted the girls to be able to ride all the rides. But when my … Continue reading Routine, Routine, Routine.

In this blog I write a lot about the things as a fire wife I go through and have touched on some things that firefighters might go through as well. Hearing the things I go through might be relatable to some wives but it also might be helpful for husbands in the fire service to … Continue reading The Little Things

Sometimes as wives and moms we can get a little overwhelmed. This is especially true as a fire wife. The desire to get a moment to yourself or a moment to get something done can be sometimes impossible. There was a time when both my husband and I had long hard days while he was … Continue reading My 24 Hour Rule

We have all probably heard of kids going through different regression. When they start using the potty and all of a sudden they don't want anything to do with it. They just revert back to a time where they were getting that extra attention for something.  I believe they subconsciously are trying to let you know they may not … Continue reading Daddy Regression
