February Snow Fun in Wisconsin

I live in Wisconsin. It snows…frequently and sometimes a lot. Saturday, we had yet another winter storm roll through and those are usually good days to cuddle up with a blanket by the fireplace, watch movies, drink hot chocolate and just have a nice ‘jammie day.”

Common Sense – RIP

I consider myself a pretty upbeat person. I’m not a gloom and doomer, I love positive things in my life, I try to bring joy and positive things to other people’s lives, too, as evidenced by what I do for a living.

I also usually don’t blog or write about what I’m about to post here. I definitely have a lot of strong opinions about certain issues, but I’ve also intentionally made it a point over the years to stay publicly neutral when it comes to posting about politics, religion and most controversial subjects.

This one, though, I can not stay quiet about. I am so angry, I can hardly see straight. My heart is so heavy right now.

One Month from Today – Brothers at War Movie

When Dave Scantling found me on Twitter, a few weeks ago, I was a bit surprised as I really didn’t know anything about the upcoming Brothers at War movie at the time.

As a mom of two active duty soldiers, and a former military spouse myself, I was particularly interested in what this movie has to say. With 2 brothers serving in Iraq, Jake Rademacher embeds himself twice, in his brother’s unit, to see the day to day experience of what is really happening in Iraq and why our soldiers are doing what they are doing.

From what I’ve seen so far, we will be taken into the lives of what our soldiers are doing every single day, their triumphs, their families and their personal sacrifice.
