Our Family has started to budget as of October 1st and one of the things on the priority list is to cut cable.

The Google Chromecast streaming media player is perfect for my needs, watching t.v. while I cut off the cable! See it. Stream it. Love it! Google Chromecast Streaming…

by Lily @militaryfamof8 6 Comments

Introduction. Story. Inspiration. New Beginning. I want to take the time to say hello! Tell you a little bit of why I have been gone, why I came back, my story of surviving strokes (5), mental health illness, chronic health illnesses; and why I am back and ready to take my entire life back!

Introduction. Story. Inspiration. New Beginning.

Introduction. Story. Inspiration. New Beginning.

It has been a long time since I have sat down and written a post. A real honest to goodness post from my brain to the keyboard.  I have wanted to sit down so many times and just say “hello” like I used to, but I never had the time. I was always under a deadline, exhausted, busy, or mentally, physically and emotionally unable to write. So I decided that today would be the day. Today, no matter how busy I was; I was going to say hello. I am going to tell you about my Introduction. Story. Inspiration. New Beginning. [Read more…]

Follow us, we're fun!

Looking for Something Specific?

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.

The worst week ever in our family- Trajedy comes in drones!
