While my husband, Travis, has been living in South Korea, he has been able to visit a few new places. One of those places was Bali, Indonesia where he spent a few days exploring. He has given me a list of places he went and things he did, so I can share with you a great list of things to do in Bali. Travis' Recommendations Lumbung Sari House of Coffee Sit in your own personal bungalow right on the water as they bring you 15 different flavors of coffee and tea. I am not a huge coffee and tea drinker, but these were so good! Plus, after I finished drinking them all, I felt like I could Continue Reading
Cleaning Up Your Facebook News Feed
When you scroll through your Facebook news feed, what do you see? What types of images are your eyes scanning? What types of videos do you stop to watch? When you read a post from a friend or page, what kind of words are used? Are the things you are seeing on your Facebook news feed encouraging and uplifting? Are they filled with Truth? Or are you seeing foul words, inappropriate images, and things you wouldn't want your pastor seeing? If you accidentally clicked share on one of those posts, would you be embarrassed or ashamed? Perhaps it is time to clean up our Facebook pages. This has Continue Reading

How to Help a Grieving Friend
What do we say when someone is grieving? How do we help when a friend is in pain? Are you wondering how to help a grieving friend? This topic has been on my heart lately. I've been told the saying, "God won't give you more than you can handle" during my own times of grief. In fact, it's a saying I believed and said to others. But not anymore. There are a lot of things in this world that God doesn't hand out. I believe most of the time, God is not the one causing our pain. Yes, He allows it, but He doesn't cause it or give it to us like some angry, punishing God. A lot of times the pain in Continue Reading
How to Clean Drywall Dust
My bedroom renovation included drywall. And drywall means dust. A lot of it. Like piles of dust covering everything. I walked into my room after the drywall was complete and the sanding was finished. I was overwhelmed by the amount of dust. And I seriously was not sure how to clean it. Along the way, I learned some things. Tips for Cleaning Drywall Dust While cleaning, be sure to wear a mask over your nose and mouth. Breathing in the dust is not good for you. Be sure to keep the room closed off from other rooms or you'll have dust everywhere. Keep registers or vents closed or keep air Continue Reading

Bedroom Renovation
Slowly but surely. That seems to be how my bedroom renovation is coming along. It started out with a tan wallpaper that had small daisies on it. It had nothing but a light bulb for a light fixture. The ceiling was made up of squares that seemed to have some mildew on them. The room wasn't awful, but it wasn't what I wanted. I pictured it much different. I really wanted to paint this room. I began taking the wallpaper off, only to realize there were SIX layers of wallpaper -- all different colors and patterns. One of the wallpaper patterns was of men on horses, I assume fox Continue Reading
Currently {Vol. 14}
As you may have read last month, I needed to take a break from blogging. I only posted one blog from myself in September, and a few posts from guest bloggers. That month was hard, and my blogging break was definitely needed. I was able to put my full focus on God, lean in to Him and let Him show me the sunshine again. God was faithful, as always. I decided I'm ready now (hopefully) to get back to blogging. Hello October! I'm back. Today, I decided to start off with a Currently post since I haven't wrote in so long. Here's what I'm up to currently... Thinking about: How God is faithful. How Continue Reading

On Being an Older Enlisted Spouse
Hello friends. I'll be taking a little blogging break, so I've gathered some blogging friends to guest post here. I wouldn't want ya'll to not have anything to read! My first guest post comes from Julie at Soldier's Wife, Crazy Life. I was 26 years old when my husband re-joined the Army. He went in as an E3 at age 30. A few months later, he promoted to an E4 and that is how he spent the rest of his time as an active duty soldier. A lot of people join the military at a younger age, 18-20 years old. Their spouses are young too. They work their way through the ranks and can make it to E5 Continue Reading
Pause
As you've read in my posts lately, I've been struggling. Life is just hard sometimes, friends. And when life gets hard, it's OK to take a break. It's OK to not be OK. And when you aren't OK, you are allowed to pause. In fact, you should pause. You should focus on taking care of yourself. I know that taking a break from this blog is not going to help make it successful or help me grow readers. My traffic will decline. It is going to make reaching my goals much harder. But in the full scheme of things, I know that has to be OK. It is more important right now for me to focus on my spiritual, Continue Reading
