I have a favorite place to have my morning mug of coffee. It’s not in a coffee shop with a fancy latte. It’s not snuggled on my couch, warm and cozy. It’s a half drank cup of lukewarm coffee, in my PJs and bedhead, while standing outside of my officer’s patrol car window just as … Continue reading morning coffee + enjoying the little moments of blue life

the weight of the badge
The other morning my officer got home from work just as I was getting ready for work myself. As he was getting ready for bed and I was heading out the door, I asked him how his shift was. “It was a rough one” was all he said. I looked over at him, sitting on … Continue reading the weight of the badge
thin blue line brownie sandwiches
Confession time: I have a sweet tooth. Like, a big one. I also enjoy cooking and baking...sometimes. I typically send a plate of whatever treat I've made with my officer to the station...because if not, I'm totally going to eat them all! A lot of the times I make basic cookies or bars, but today … Continue reading thin blue line brownie sandwiches
choosing light in our blue life
Did you catch our FB live with Zanna from Honor the Brave this Wednesday? I got to chat with her about a+g, our experience buying a home with HTB, and the crazy life that is #policewifelife!

speaking truths over our officers
Last week we talked about the importance of proclaiming truth over our homes. God's word is powerful! It has meaning. We also can proclaim truths over our officers. I have always prayed for my officer (even when we were kids), but since he has become a part of this blue life my prayers have shifted … Continue reading speaking truths over our officers
my power is made perfect in weakness
Verse: 2 Corinthians 12:9 says "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." Devo: It might seem weird to highlight weakness when we talk about … Continue reading my power is made perfect in weakness

diy toaster waffles
At first I titled this "homemade toaster waffles" but that seemed a little far fetched, as these clearly are made from a mix. HOWEVER. They are definitely "DIY" and save our blue family a sizable amount of money each month! One my officer's favorite breakfasts are Kodiak Cakes. They're delicious, full of protein, and help … Continue reading diy toaster waffles
