A coupon, to me, is like Monopoly money ~ except I get to use it in this real game called ‘Life.’ I’ve learned I can walk into a store, pick a product from the shelf, hand the cashier a piece of paper and walk out of the store with little or no money out of [...]

Okay, well, maybe not seconds. According to the official Prairie Farmstead Weather Station, we’ve experienced daytime temperatures ranging from 0° F to 54° F in a two-day timespan. That’s crazy, I tell you ~ and apparently pretty typical for the prairie land. The guys have had a few instances where they’ve taken advantage of opportune [...]

If there’s one simple pleasure in life that Darling Husbie and I like to enjoy together, it’s sipping on some delicious coffee with a splash of flavored creamer in the morning. It’s just always been that way. Seven years ago, we started a tradition without realizing it at the time. Around Christmas time, we venture [...]

On Saturday, December 13, I experienced something different as a military wife. I am always extremely proud of my husband and the work that he so humbly performs, but I felt something new two nights ago. I’m not sure I will be able to encapsulate it with words, but I will do my best to [...]
