This blog chronicles the lives of the Caffee Clan: Brian, Kelly, Josh, Jason, Lauren and Katelyn as we navigate life as a large, loud, military family that lives on the verge of complete chaos! I'm Kelly, AKA "Mom", "Mama", "Babe" or the "1SG's wife", I am 37, a stay-at-home-mom that dreams of someday working in the marketing field. I love photography, scrap booking, healthy eating and cooking, my family, music and dancing!! I have a fetish for gross medical stuff, like unusual diseases or strange growths, and sometimes I wish I was a midwife. As you read, you might notice that I have an slight obsession with cleaning and germ-avoidance, but do not fret, I am aware and I am working on it. And I love making lists! I have lots of opinions about lots of things and this is what is represented here! I'm not always right (wait, I'm NOT??) but I always have something to say!!!

My heart is heavy.....

I was skimming through Facebook posts the other day and came across a snippet that a friend had written. She is a baker/blogger/generally all around amazing person and creates beautiful images of everything she makes. This post, however, was about a fellow blogger that had very recently lost her husband unexpectedly. I don't know the family or the woman at all, but I was so moved by her story. I can't even begin to articulate what she has been through, I am not even going to try - I just know that what her story took my breath away. And I can't stop thinking about it. The link is below.


She requested that people worldwide make a peanut butter pie and hug their loved ones on Friday in honor of her beloved husband; it was his favorite. I pray that she feels some comfort in this small act done by so many around the world and that she learns to accept her "new normal". Here is my peanut butter pie for Jennie and Mikey:

In honor of Mikey....
