Been a little M.I.A. lately... and for good reason. 💚

Life has been FULL. My husband back in March left on rotation, I'm almost 7 months pregnant (we're getting there! 🥹), our three kiddos have been keeping me busy during summer break, and let's be honest... these summers feel like the sun itself caught on fire. 😂☀️
We're also getting ready for another PCS, so there's always something to do. I've been capturing so many moments and can't wait to share them with you all when the time feels right.

If you know some of our "under wraps" news... 🤫 shhhh! It's our little secret for now. 😉 If it hasn't been posted yet, it's still under wraps.

This year is bringing us a new baby (baby name (T.B.A)), a new duty station (location (T.B.A)), new schools for the school aged moon kids, and a whole new chapter for Team Moon. This little one will officially complete our family, and we're soaking in every moment.
Thank you for sticking around while life happens. I can't wait to get back to sharing our military family life, comics, recipes, commissary hauls, and all the real, everyday moments in between.

You never know when your story might be exactly what someone else needs. 💚

Be sure your following our Instagram to keep up with our military family journey

Happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day to those of us learning to build a life around uncertainty, long nights, missed milestones, and constant change and somehow still finding ways to make it beautiful.

I met my husband when I was just a teen, married him in our mid-20s on the Marine Corps Birthday (because honestly… he had a 4-day and sometimes you just work with the military schedule 😂). Since then, life has been full of deployments, moving, adapting, growing, and learning how to make a home wherever the military sends us.
We welcomed our first baby while he was deployed to Afghanistan, started over in Colorado after his Marine Corps chapter ended, and then watched the military call him back again — this time in Army green. Once a Marine, always a Marine… just a different uniform now.

This life has never been perfect. It’s been chaotic, unpredictable, lonely, beautiful, exhausting, and full of adventure all at once.

There have been tears, missed moments, and days I wished he was home. But there have also been memories we never would’ve made and a strength I never knew I had.

Military life pushed me out of my comfort zone, helped me grow, and inspired me to give back to this community that has become such a huge part of who I am.

No matter where we go, we always find a way to make it ours.

Life is an adventure — and I’m grateful to walk through it with him.

New Comic blog is up 📣📣📣📣

Life Through Her Eyes

There’s a side of military life that doesn’t always get talked about—the quiet moments, the resilience, and the emotional weight of holding down the home front.
Behind every service member is a family learning to adapt, push forward, and find strength in the unknown.
I shared a more personal look into that reality—raw, honest, and a little bit humorous—because that’s how we get through it.

If you’ve ever loved someone from a distance, this one might resonate.

There’s this version of me… the one nobody really sees. The one curled up on the bed, cryingand not the cute kind either. I’m talking full on ugly crying. There’s a picture of him on the nightstand…

There’s been a lot of noise lately.

Strong opinions. Heavy headlines. Uncertainty in the air.

As a military spouse, I won’t speak to specifics out of respect for OPSEC. But I will speak to leadership, service, and perspective.

My husband has served 12 years between the Marine Corps and the Army. He chose this path long before it became personal to me. For him, service was never about politics — it was about purpose. Leadership. Growth. Being part of something bigger than himself.

That’s something I deeply respect.

One thing military life teaches you quickly: everyone plays a role. Not every service member is on the front lines. Not every mission looks the same. But every job contributes to the whole. Just like in our communities — teachers, nurses, first responders, business owners — we all carry responsibility that keeps things moving forward.

What often goes unseen are the long hours. The emotional toll. The quiet sacrifices made on both sides of the uniform.

You can hold personal beliefs. You can wrestle with uncertainty. But you can also choose to support the person you love as they fulfill the commitment they made.

Leadership isn’t just about those in uniform. It’s about how we show up at home. How we steady our families during uncertain seasons. How we become the calm voice instead of adding to the chaos.

We can’t control global events.

But we can control our character.
We can control our support.
We can control how we lead in our own homes and communities.

In seasons like this, I’m choosing steadiness.

Because behind every uniform is a human being who simply wants to come home to the people they love.

We all wore red… or at least that’s how it looked. ❤️
If you’ve ever stood next to your service member at a ball wondering, “Do I even belong here?” — this one’s for you.
This comic is a lighthearted take on Engineer traditions, military balls, and that moment when you realize support isn’t about the dress… it’s about showing up for your person.
I’m sharing the full story behind the comic — the missed balls, the traditions I learned along the way, and why this one finally mattered to us.

Military spouses — I’d love to hear from you.
Have you gone to a ball? Skipped one? Still deciding?

If you look at the comic, it looks like a very clear story. Panel one:My husband asks, “Are you ready for the ball?”I’m in a red dress. He’s smiling. We look put together.Panel two:I say “Awkward,”…
