I have no shame in admitting this: I am a huge Disney nerd. My family has been fortunate enough to be able to visit Disney World frequently. However, I had never been to any of the special parties that Disney has for holidays. When we moved to Florida, I was determined to make that change. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and to celebrate it at Disney seemed like the perfect combination! With just a few weeks left of the festivities, we were able to pull it together for an epic Halloween event. Now I’m sharing with you, my best Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party tips.
Farmhouse Style DIY Baby Closet Organizer
If you’ve been keeping up with our overseas move into our new Florida home, then you might already know that I am completely obsessed right now with all the farmhouse things! My love for Fixer Upper (RIP) has started to take over our house as we renovate and I couldn’t be happier with how it’s all turning out! My latest victim room has been my son’s nursery, or should I say bedroom as he is not a little baby anymore. We decided to keep his adorable aviation nursery theme that we had in Alaska. In keeping with consistency across the house, I also wanted to incorporate the style of the farmhouse pantry door we created in the kitchen. The end result came out better than I even imagined! This DIY baby closet system is perfect for organizing everything that would go into a nursery. Read on for a complete DIY tutorial, before and after pictures, and baby closet organization ideas!

Costco Military Hour: Honoring our Heros
Let’s be honest, living overseas is fun, but being stationed stateside again has some pretty amazing perks. Being closer to friends and family, not having to deal with customs forms, and of course, the shopping!
What I would have given to have a Costco nearby when we were stationed overseas. Those awesome deals, being able to stock up on bulk items, and having the option to go from organic to their pizza depending on my mood.
As if you needed another reason to love Costco, here is a great one.
Costco has announced a special tribute to our armed forces, veterans, and their families.
9 Reasons Why You Should Go to Osan AB Non-Command Sponsored
Osan AB in South Korea was not even on my radar when my husband had orders drop. We had just passed our two-year mark at Nellis AFB, a known black hole of a base, when he got the notification that he had an assignment. I was newly pregnant (we had found out the day before) and stunned.
Hang around any military spouse group on Facebook long enough and you’ll see it. The fear and loathing towards those deemed unfortunate for obtaining orders to the ROK. When I first told people, I was met with apologies and sympathy. For the first two days after hearing the news, I did what any hormonal pregnant spouse would do. I ate a lot of chocolate and cried.
Of course, it could be worse (Why not Minot?). But orders to Korea unaccompanied meant I would be spending the next year raising my daughter on my own. It meant my husband would be missing out on the precious milestones of our firstborn. It meant moving back home across the country by myself. At the time, it all seemed devastating.
Then, I picked myself back up and did what I always do any time we have orders; I ate more chocolate and researched.
Going to Korea on a command sponsored tour was not unfamiliar to me. However, my husband was an A1C at the time, and the chances of obtaining that sponsorship seemed on par with our chances of winning the lottery.
However, researching about it also led me to discover another, and dare I say better option: Going to Osan AB Non-command sponsored.
