Projects

At the crux of the life of a military wife is finding ways to continually challenge herself and grow in the face of uncertainty. Often times a career seems like a far off dream, and there are times were it isn't even a possibility. So what to do in the meantime? Since Paul left in March I've been working on gaining new skills so that I'm not left stagnant, simply waiting. 

Great things to learn:

• Dust off the foreign language you worked so hard at in high school, for me, Spanish. 
• Learn something fun and (kind of) useful! Pick a lock using a paperclip
• Make an adorable Fox Scarf from Pretty Prudent
• Take up boxing...or just hitting a bag at your gym. I have find the gloriously cathartic benefits of just hitting something. 
• Cook one new meal a week: Pad Thai from Brownies for Dinner
• Make something nice for the mom one of the 3,000 babies you see on your facebook news feed. Bibs from Purl Bee
• Take a FREE online course (or a not free one, but free is just wonderful) from Coursera.org
• Get involved with online with forums. They are a great source of information and support! Check out Army Family Information Center and Army Wives Forums

My most recent project, including the cat for your viewing pleasure: 

I finally got those collegey t-shirts out of the closet!
