Thursday Three

ooops I didn't post a Thursday Three last week...  I am sorry.

This week here are my three favorite all time movies.



Roman Holiday - I adore Audrey Hepburn

Sweet Home Alabama - Same goes with little Miss Reese Witherspoon
(Kind of sorta named my oldest after her in a non stalkerish kind of way)

Bridget Jones - The book was actually funnier, who doesn't like Renee?

I just realized that these are the main chick flicks MyLove will actually watch with me.

So, what are your favorite movies?

Please someone give me some suggestions on what "fav's" we should share next Thursday.

All Dressed Up Wednesday

 So I have been following



via Katrina (my bestie) for a while now... I am normally behind the camera taking pictures
 for her like here for St. Patty's Day, but finally I am participating. 
I know I am not super dressed up but much better than my yoga pants or my gardening boots.




nice wind in the hair action...

pink blouse and gray sweater - MCCS Exchange - I know right?  Super cute.
jeans and black madden shoes - thrifted
necklace and earings - Christmas gift from my lovely sister in law
Oakley sunglasses - Valentine's Day gift from MyLove

Thursday Three #2

Since yesterday was my birthday, this week I am telling you my three favorite indulgences, in no particular order.


#1. Starbucks venti iced peppermint white mocha with whip!
I didn't know until recently that you can get peppermint syrup all year round.  This is my weekly cheat.


#2. Tiramisu - creamy, lady fingers dipped in espresso.  Who wouldn't love this yummy dessert?



#3. Chocolate Cream Pie - not chocolate pudding pie, no graham cracker crust no whipped topping.  I honestly have never had a better chocolate cream pie than my own, its my grandmothers recipe.  She shared it with me, my Mom and my Aunt and I think I am the reigning Chocolate Cream Pie DIVA.  This pie takes time, love and patience... it isn't for the novice bakerl.  Its a CREAM filling which requires about 20 minutes of constant stirring.  On bottom is a flaky crust and on top and simple meringue.  HEAVEN.  My poor love, when we were first married this pie was just to rich for him.  Now the two of us could devour one pie together in two days.  My favorite time to eat it is the day after I make it for breakfast.  I want to make one now... hmmmm

PLEASE in your comments share YOUR favorite indulgences.

Oh, and what are we sharing next Thursay Three?

Tuesday's Till #2

Nothing much to report this week in the garden. Planted more seeds and a few more veggies.


As I said last week we live in base housing which I love, at our base housing is privatized and Lincoln provides really great lawn service, the only thing is that they come on Thursdays and for what ever reason didn't last week so our grass is super long. Well we are having a last minute BBQ tomorrow for my BIRTHDAY. YAY me, one year older. UGH.  Anyway, the grass just won't make it til Thursday.


This weeks blog post is just a few pictures, two of MyLove cutting our grass so it is presentable and fun to frolic in tomorrow afternoon, one of my favorite pair of yard boots, and then the last one is of a dirty little garden fairy, isn't she beautiful???

Are you in love with YourMilitaryMan??  
Well I am, and you are in the right place.
Do you have your coffee or tea in hand? 



This is ME, Denise!  I am verry happy to meet you,


I am a some what of  Suzy Homemaker but not at all a perfect kind, its all about trial and error.  I learn by doing.   I love to cook and bake, garden and I am also a crafter/diy'er at heart.  Check out my trial and errors over at

I have been a military family member for over 25 years.  My Dad was in the Navy and to his dismay I married a Lean Mean Killing Machine, ok maybe not so much but still a MARINE.

This is MyLove 13 years ago when he was in Japan, he was stationed there 6 months after we were married for an unaccompanied year tour.  Welcome to the CORPS right?


After lots of moves, schools and years of just "US" FUN!

 I got THREE Hands FULL!

We had our first, Reese, 6 years ago. She is a smart little girl that I love to just listen to.


Two years after that came Paige, she has had a tough little life but
amazes me and pushes my buttons at the same time.


and our not so baby, is Claire.  My BRUISER!


This is MyLove and I just a few weeks ago at HOMECOMING!

NOW link up your favorite posts and help us connect with one another!
PLEASE stop by as many milspouse links as you can today and spread the love and support!!


Next week you will get to meet the adorable Lydia at WithLoveLydia

Thursday Three

I am starting something new here on my blog. 

Today is my first Thursday Three!

This week please tell me your three favorite vegetables.  Here are mine.

1.  Spinach - I can eat spinach in the morning in my eggs, at lunch on my sandwich and again at dinner in my salad.  I just love me some spinach.

2.  FRESH tomatoes - quartered with salt and pepper.  Simple and delish.

3.  Avocado - creamy rich and full of that good for you fat.

I know sharing your favorite vegetable is not the most exciting thing to share, I am on a gardening kick this week so I thought we might start off with that first. 
So now share in your comment your three favorite vegetables. 
Also, give me a suggestion on what three favorite themed things we should share next week.
