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!!!

If It's Thanksgiving in Guam today......

...and Thanksgiving in the mainland tomorrow,
it's completely reasonable to have TWO
Thanksgiving feasts and stuff myself until I'm food drunk
twice, right?

What would Thanksgiving be without a "giving thanks" blog?
So...this year I am thankful for my friends and family, my health, my job and of course, the food. But there a few less, um, popular things I am thankful for as well.

Let me share them with you now!!

Turkeys that give their lives so that I may be a glutton today. Thank you! Without you, this day would be just another day.
Harry Potter. 
August. Especially the 3rd. And Arthur Fonzarelli. Ehhh! 
Nutella. Vats of it.
Kim Kardashian for providing endless hours of ridiculous entertainment about your so called life.
Spanx. 
Glee. As in the TV show. I'm vowing to break out into random song and dance numbers in public (more often) from now on.
Ice cream. If you dream about it, it means good luck or that you need to cool off. Hmmm...
Victorias Secret industrial strength bras. My ladies are quickly heading south without taking the rest of me with them. Jerks.
Isaac Newton for being hit on the head with a falling apple thus explaining gravity. 
Numbers. With $ in front of them. Or in general, I suppose.
Glasses of wine. Always half-full!

Happy Turkey Day!!!

Mom Sexy: bringing it back!

Hey gals!!

Today I am joining up with Mommyologist 
to talk about how I got my 
 "Mom Sexy" mojo back - 

I adore the Mom Sexy Fridays series and am so excited to be a part of it!! 
The Mommyologist is on a mission to make
sure that women find their way back to sexy after kids and every Friday, she shares personal stories submitted by bloggers just like you (and me)! 

It is undeniably inspiring and uplifting and I look forward to every Friday morning when the next story pops up into my inbox! 
Mom Sexy should be more than a story though, ladies, 
it should become a way of life!
