Supporting our military families this Christmas Season
I just read about a wonderful program from a company called ‘Christmas Decor‘ that I wanted to share. It is hard to be thinking about the Christmas season … a few months away when we haven’t even bought our Halloween candy for the year. However, Christmas Decor has a *wonderful* program for our military-families. The lights of the holidays brighten a world where families are separated by war and hostilities. The homes we light for a soldier’s family always seem to sparkle more and shine brighter.

A New School Year
It took some time but all of the Kocsis kids are officially back to school. Our 6 year old started August 24th, 15 year older, September 1st and my 4 year-older’s first day of preschool was today. Ah … my baby is in his final year of preschool. Funny the different milestones we create. As a mom I’m a bit somber over the fact that this will be my last year trekking up to the preschool, giving preschool good-bye kisses and then counting the minutes (and oh how they fly!) till I get to hear how his day was, all 2 1/2 hours of it! Yet, I am so glad…

“almost” Wordless Wednesday: Pride in our Power & Love of my Heritage
Air Show 2009As an Air Force Brat and Army Wife not living anywhere close to a base or post I was thrilled to spend my Labor Day showing my boys some of our military capabilities; some of the pieces of my husband’s life during his year in Iraq; some of the planes their grandfather flew for special ops missions & aid-drops in Afghanistan. What an opportunity for my boys & our community.

Question of the Week: Where is your happy place?
Every night at about 7:30pm we start the bed-time routine… Baths; Snacks, healthy dinners equal yummy snack; didn’t eat very well? then you get a healthy snack; Teeth brushed; Books, one book for each boy; and then finally… Bed… kisses, water-refills, lights-out, “I love you”s.And then I crawl into my happy place. My happy place is my very own bed in my own bedroom. It can be as early as 8:30 in the evening and I hastily don my pjs, brush my teeth, fluff my pillows, grab the big ol’ blue pillow that makes it easy to sit up in bed, and grab a book. What is it about my…
