In the spirit of short summers we decided to make as many short trips as we could! Our quick turn around trip to the Big Apple was fabulous, exhausting and worth every minute. We hadn’t even unpacked our bags before we hopped back in the car and headed to Maryland to visit with family. Life […]

The summer of 2018 was a blur! Our school district decided they we going to break the “Thou shall not start school before Labor Day” rule and bumped the start day to August 13th! Wait, What??? We only had 7 short weeks to cram in summer school, missions trips, swim lessons, and travel baseball. Just […]

This past weekend was the Father Daughter Dance, at our little girl’s school. This would be the first time she has attended a Daddy Daughter Dance. There have been many opportunities before, at churches or on military bases, but they never seems to line up with our schedules. Or we learned about them after it […]

Last week, in Virginia, we all complained about the non-stop rain. All winter I groaned about the cold. Once the summer heat and humidity arrive I’m sure I’ll be wishing for Fall.

Time for some family fun in Shenandoah! Recently I read a book called Hands Free Life by Rachel Macy Stafford. Ok I didn’t read it but I did listen to most of it on my Overdrive app. If you’re a busy mama and love to read check it out! Anyway, back to the book! The parts […]

It’s our second Christmas in Virginia! Christmas time at the Hubbard house is always a festive event. If you ask my husband he will tell you our house transforms from a normal family home to Santa’s workshop every year. “She has tubs. And tubs…and TUBS of decorations”. I don’t think we have that many decorations […]

My Marine Corps Marathon Experience Confession…I am not a runner. Growing up I was the sports girl. Soccer, swimming, basketball, volleyball, track. If it required short burst of high intense energy I was your girl! The longest distance I ever ran was as the anchor of the 880 yard relay in middle school. I simply […]
