morning coffee + enjoying the little moments of blue life
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

Luckily, there's a lot of resources out there to help get your … Continue reading organizing blue life
the mourning band
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
