Fair winds and following seas!

There are enough words to express my gratitude to our friends/neighbors. It has been truly a blessing and a honor to have these people in our lives. Thank you for everything you've done and for all the memories we've made! We will definitely miss you! May God continue to bless you, watch over & protect you, and guide you in all that you do. Love you Walker's!

Fresh sunflowers are the best!

 

 

Love you always Hanna! Thank you for being a great role model for all the other military wives! I truly admire your strength and love!

 

Lemonade Party

This is great for summer parties! I did this spread for our staff meeting a couple years ago, during the hot summer days. It was quick, easy, and inexpensive!

There was lemonade, iced tea, and a fresh fruit bar so folks could flavor their lemonades or teas. We also made DIY chalkboard labeled mason jars.

Teacher Appreciation Week

It is so important to make educators feel loved and appreciated. What better way to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week than with flowers. 

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all our teachers out there! 

April Showers Brings May Flowers :)

Motherhood

Being pregnant is such a beautiful gift. The only person in the world who gets to hear what your heart beat sounds like from the inside. Now that, is a miracle in itself. We never really think about the beauty of it. But if you take a moment to really sit down and think about what women go through to carry and birth a baby, it's amazing. God has truly blessed us women with the beautiful gift of child bearing.

Blessed with the Best.

Being a military family means you move around a lot. It also means making new friends along the way. These kids and our families have been such an amazing support system. Every so often, our husbands leave, some at the same time. It’s so heartwarming that we can all bond together as a family. We spend holidays, share deployment struggles, and help one another pass time while waiting for our Sailors to return home. I couldn't be more thankful to have these families in our lives. This gift of friendship is truly a blessing. We will miss each and everyone of you, and continue to think of all the memories we've made these past couple years. 

Walk with him.

It's not easy being a wife and a mother. But here are some words I live by:

"Genesis 3 tells us that it was not good for man to be alone. He was, in a sense, incomplete and lonely. He needed a companion, a friend. Your husband needs to know that you will walk with him, hand in hand, through illnesses and job losses, through failure and disappointment. But on the flip side you must also work at having fun within your marriage; to laugh a lot and to show interest in the things your spouse enjoys (Prov. 17:17), to be silly, to remember the fun you had when you first started dating or at various times in your marriage. Your place is to be his friend. HIS BEST FRIEND!"

Speak life into him!
