we wish you knew
We’re all quick to throw around judgements and opinions, but a lot of us don’t really know what wearing a pair of duty boots is like. To be honest, I don’t either, because I don’t wear them-but I’m married to them. And over the years I’ve gotten a glimpse at what blue life can really … Continue reading we wish you knew
the shattering and swelling of my blue heart
Last night I was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner when my officer came downstairs, almost ready to leave for work. He handed me his badge with a mourning band pulled over it and asked “can you help me with this?” I pinned it on his uniform with steady hands, gave him a kiss, said … Continue reading the shattering and swelling of my blue heart
i believe in the good
I would say Happy Sunday, but it doesn't feel too happy, does it? I know I'm not alone when I say that I've been struggling lately.

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
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!

the mourning band
