Leanne is an Army wife, mom to four boys, daughter of an airman and friend to many. She struggles with things like homework, dinner, keeping an even semi-tidy house and having enough energy to keep her eyes open after 9pm. But she lives life to the fullest, loves piles of dirty laundry (because she know that means (a) there was fun had or (b) Hubs is home), dirty water after washing the kitchen (because who would want to go to all that work and have /clean/ water?) and is thankful for every moment God has given her.
