I love a girl that knows what she wants, and sometimes we change our minds. 😅 thankfully, I was already ready so I could focus on making sure she got the style she was looking for. #4chair #4chairstyles #naturalhairstyles #adoptivemom #transracialadoption #soloparenting #militarylife #southernmomma #TikTokMom

“Celebrating” Memorial Day has always seen a bit strange to me, a weekend of remembrance to me felt more solemn. My perspective has slowly grown as I know you can carry heavy emotions, appreciation and celebration at the same time. This weekend we will surely remember those who have given all for what they believe, may their courage and sacrifice be persevered forever. 💙🇺🇸❤️ #MilitarySpouseLife #armywife #militaryspouse #DeploymentDiaries #MilitaryLove #mdw #memorialday #memorialdayweekend

I wasn’t expecting today to be so hard, but man I think the culmination of the last two weeks has made it harder. ❤️ Thank you to Sullivan’s for all the Anniversary details, it was genuinely so thoughtful. #DeploymentDiaries #MilitarySpouse #armywife

Say a prayer for me. I’ve cried all day.

Over half our lives. Through many seasons of change and hair colors 😅. #armywife #militaryfamily #milspouse #army #milso #highschoolsweethearts #trend #husbandwife how many months have you been together?

Send this to your husband, because I’m sure you deserve it too. J has tried to get me to go for years, and I will never dismiss the opportunity to go again. Idk what was in the smoothie, water, and massage but I left a different person. #armywife #milspouse #militarylife #militaryfamily #fortbragg #milspo #southenliving #pinehurst

3 months down. ❤️ #deployment #armylife #army #deploymentdiaries #armywife #milsolife #milspo

When your husband books you a massage from halfway around the world… This solo parenting season has been no joke, but this week I snuck away to the Pinehurst Spa for a much-needed reset, courtesy of my deployed husband, who somehow always knows when I’m running on fumes. From the eucalyptus steam to the deep tissue massage he gifted me, it felt like he wrapped me in a hug from miles away. If you’re a military spouse holding it down, I hope this reminds you that you’re allowed to slow down. Rest is resistance. And girl—you deserve it. #MilitarySpouseLife #armywife #deployment #militaryspouse #SoloParenting #PinehurstSpa #DeploymentDiaries #SelfCareIsntSelfish #MomReset #MilitaryLove #SpaVlog #DeployedButConnected #MomLifeUnfiltered #TikTokMom #WeekendReset

For the record I bought my own push lawn mower because I don’t want to attempt his Snapper. #millennial #MilitarySpouseLife #MomLifeUnfiltered #militaryspouse #armywife #MilitaryLove #deploymentlife #SoloParenting

From dysregulated nervous system and stuck in fight or flight, to feeling like I can breath and not like I’m just waiting for another bad thing to happen, God has carried me through. I am so thankful. ✨ I would love to hear how God is working in your life, I find so much faith and encouragement in hearing other people God stories!

Solo parenting hits different when the world feels upside down. 💔 #MilitarySpouse #SoloParenting #DeploymentDiaries #MomLife #MilitaryFamily #realtalk #FaithOverFear #DayInTheLife #armylife #armywife #army #navy #milspouse #marines

The slow pace of a small town, golden hour on the porch, a sweet treat drink in a cute cup, is seriously what my soul craves. 🌞 #southernliving #southernmama #cozyathome #classicstyle #nancymyers #buttermom

Hot Take, but I think pageants are still relevant and help women find their voice and give them a platform to show that you can be mulitifacted and successful. I loved seeing the diversity in women and love that there is more representation and inclusivity than in the days when I competed. I could have never dreamed of being Miss NC because I was told I wasn’t “built” for it, aka would have to drop 40lbs. I love that Zadie Ann gets to see this new era and has all these incredible women to look up to. 💗 #armywife #missnc #missamerica #missnorthcarolina #pageant

It was really eye opening to see how many people had ugly things to say about how I deal with J being gone. I’m not new to him being gone and I’ll be the first to admit it doesn’t get easier, but over time you do find ways to cope. ✨ Sometimes that’s through travel, sometimes it’s by humor, sometimes it’s by shopping, but most of the time it’s by being surrounded by a village of people who are there for you. Whether it’s family, friends or other spouses, I wouldn’t make it without our village. My number one advice to new or young spouses is always to find your people, because having people at every duty station and in every season of love has been invaluable. 💗 #armywife #milspouse #militarylife #militaryfamily #armylife #fortbragg #milspo #militaryspouseappreciationday #navywife #marinewife #airforce #coastguardwife

It’s a lot to feel right now. It’s a lot to hold together. 💔 #DeploymentDiaries #MilitarySpouse #armywife #MomLife #SoloParenting #MilitaryFamily

1️⃣It could be worse. - Gee thanks, but this is not a competition. 2️⃣Where are they? Is he safe? - We can’t tell you where they are and “safe” is pretty relative. 3️⃣I am so scared for you right now. - This is back handed way of sympathizing. It’s okay to just say, “thinking of you.” 4️⃣Well, it was about time for another war, right? - Are you a prophet, oracle, war strategist? Is supposed to make me feel better? 5️⃣This is what you signed up for. - I won’t deny that I “chose” to be a military spouse when I married my husband, but there is no way that agreeing to be in this lifestyle prepares you in any way. It also doesn’t make it any less difficult. ✨ Sometimes all it takes is a text that says “I see everything going on, and I see you and I love you.” Your good intentions mean so much, but sometimes word hurt when they don’t mean too. If you are a military spouse what would you add? ✨ #armywife #militaryfamily #milspouse #militarylife #militaryspouse #army

Replying to @✨B R I A N N A🩶 it’s a girl summer, and I’m the l luckiest girl in the world. #momlife #adoptivemom #transracialadoption #militaryfamily #armywife #milso #milspo
