A YEAR AGO THIS MONTH……

We celebrate my adorable little girl’s fifth birthday by heading to Baltimore to the Aquarium for the first time. Loved it! We also had a fantastic time letting our oldest carve his first pumpkin all by himself.

 
Lastly, on my blog this month last year I shared our homecoming, that we had had a couple months before that with you all.  Another shout-out to the amazing Jessica Del Vecchio Photography
for the amazing pictures. If you are in the DCMetro area, hire her.  She’s amazing.

*my favorite thing about this picture (and a lot of the pictures) is that adorable couple in the back right. They are in many of the pictures in a similar pose. It wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that he, himself, probably served.

so that’s where we are and where we’ve been!  grab a button and join in the fun all month!  Link up and tweet #Rewind365 and tag me!

A YEAR AGO TODAY……
This month we were celebrating a fun event done by Blue Star Families called Books on Bases.  There was crafts and facepainting and book reading.  The kids absolutely loved it and it is one of the coolest things BSF does.  I am actually getting ready to do one at a local base here in a couple weeks so it should be exciting.

And just for fun I thought I’d post last year’s First Day of School picture.  Look at my little first grader! Las year he wanted to be a meteorologist. While he is still a super huge fan of the weather, you should check out what he wants to be this year on my New Beginnings post, as part of my 2014 Blogger Challenge, which I’ve totally been slacking on this summer.

so that’s where we are and where we’ve been!  grab a button and join in the fun all month!  Link up and tweet #Rewind365 and tag me!

WELCOME TO REWIND 365!  

 LETS GO DOWN MEMORY LANE!
Every third tuesday come join us in ‘Rewind 365’!

About this time last year we made our way to the National Harbor on the DC/VA/MD border.  It was our first time in the Harbor and it was lots of fun.  There is definitely a lot to do with kids.  There are lots of stores to visit, but be prepared for the “I want this” game, which will inevitably follow.  Am I right?!  After we hit up a couple of the stores, the Peep Store (which if you’ve never been, go now!!) and frozen yogurt, we made our way to the little beach/sand type area.  There is a really cool sculpture there called “The Awakening“.  Apparently it used to be by the Jefferson Memorial, but was purchased by the developers of the Harbor.  We went on a weekend and it wasn’t overwhelmingly crowded, but I’m not totally averse to crowded places so keep that in mind. 

If you want to share your memories from last year sometime this week come back and leave me the link!  Want to share your post from last year on this date (ish) leave me the link to that!

My post last year was one of my post popular posts ever.  It was entitled, “Let’s Make a Readiness Folder.”  I wanted to help other spouses like myself.  After having been stationed remotely for so many years, having gone through deployments and separations without the supports one would find on a base, or with a larger unit, I wanted to pass on what I had.  Having a basic Readiness Folder is really important to your piece of mind while your spouse is gone.  Even if you have one, just take a look at the post, see if you’re missing something, or pass it on to a friend.

have a great week everyone!

A Year Ago Today

Most every Thursday I try to take a look back on what we were doing a year ago today (or around the day).  If you want to grab the button and post your own feel free and let me know you did!  Thanks for stopping by.

Look at my little munchkins!  Where does time go?  We were clearly enjoying our summer time.  We spent a good majority of it outside…we were adjusting to the humidity and the bugs.  For heaven’s sake, the bugs!  It is absolutely ridiculous.  I mean, holy smokes.  This summer is much, much better.  The bugs are a smidge less annoying, we’re getting bitten less and the humidity is bearable.  However, I’m pretty sure the humidity is just not as bad this year.  We haven’t had 100degrees days this year, I don’t think ever.  Maybe once or twice…maybe.  But its been a fairly mild summer.  I’m interested to see what that means for our winter.  My kids were rather disappointed in our winter.  There just wasn’t a  lot of snow.  So maybe this year there will be some more snow days for us.

What were you doing a year ago today?
