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
The sight of this band causes a visceral reaction each and every time I see it. It’s just a few inches of fabric. It weighs practically nothing, could easily get misplaced in the house or the car, and thankfully doesn’t see the light of day all that often. But each time I see it out, … Continue reading the mourning band

So, I will often send goodies with my officer to work because if they're home I will eat. Them. All. Christmas is also the perfect … Continue reading christmas goodie bags for your 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

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
