Why Is My Life A Mess Right Now? (Feat. Pot Roast & Apple Crisps Recipe)
Y’all this week has been nothing short of a mess. Before we talk about the mess take a look at what I made last night to cheer us up. We both love a good hearty meal followed by a sweet dessert! On Monday, we woke up all bright-eyed and bushy tailed that it was our anniversary and that we had a fun day ahead of us. Then the universe said NOPE! Welcome to Year 2 of marriage- your new home is severely damaged from Hurricane Florence. Let me back up – The day that Hurricane Florence hit was the day that we were supposed to close on our home, so…

Things I Google: What is Vinyasa Yoga
During our time on hurrication, my husband and I did our best to continue going to the gym. I did a lot of youtube stress relief yoga (Thanks Yoga With Adriene!), while he did a lot of hotel gym workouts. When we arrived at my parent’s house, we gained access to our local fitness center and its array of classes. The first day we went, he lifted and I did a yoga video since my body felt dead from all the traveling. After our workouts, my husband was interested in doing a yoga class with me, so we looked at the schedule and saw “Vinyasa Yoga 9:30 am”. He asked…

Post-Hurrication Life
Well I can safely say I will not name our first child Florence…not that I was going to anyway. She did our town dirty, and it smells like fish and poop. After a long two weeks of hurrication we are finally home- bless up. I enjoyed the time off, but man being in my own bed was SO NICE. My dogs were also so happy to be home. It was time. Poor Tuna did get greeted by a nice fire ant hill attack when he went in the backyard, but we gave him a bath and some Benadryl and he passed out happily haha. Driving home I didn’t really know…

The Hurrication
It’s the never ending vacation. We’re loving it, but it is getting exhausting. We’ve been in a hotel in Jacksonville, Fl., for 6 days. Tuna is OVER it. I’m losing my mind, my dogs are losing their mind, and boredom is setting in. BUT at least we are safe and we have food, gas, and power. I can’t really complain, but it would be nice to not be in a hotel. I decided to make another post updating our current situation, because Things I Google: Hurricane Florence was getting long. Today is Sunday, Sept 16 and we have no idea when we can go back. Our town (New Bern, NC)…

Things I Google: Hurricane Florence
How’s my morning going you ask? Well, Hurricane Florence is quickly approaching and which each prediction the news gets worse and more comical for us. The title of this could also be some of the following: Things I Google: How to stay sane Things I Google: How to close on a house before a hurricane Things I Google: Should I close on a house before a hurricane Things I Google: Hurricane Preparedness Things I Google: How to pack when you don’t have boxes because your plan has been shot to hell Things I Google: Help. Where do I start? I got this fun email first thing this morning and it’s…

Dog Fish
Back on the Our Military Journey (Thus Far) post I mentioned that I moved to Pensacola on December 30th, 2016. We wanted to start the new year fresh and fun, so we decided to throw a New Year’s Eve party. We woke up on NYE and made a plan for the day, which consisted mostly of going to various thrift stores to try and find dinner and coffee tables. As we sat on the couch eating breakfast, we watched the tail end of Oceans Eleven with Brad Pitt and George Clooney (this is an important detail). As we drove around, my husband would NOT stop talking about getting a dog. The topics of…

The Wing It Life
In the About Me post I really wanted to focus on the blog and why I’m doing it so you all could get an idea of what I’m going for. Fun, humorous, laid back reading. I want this to be conversational, so grammar police forgive me now if I make some errors here and there. So where do I start? I’m a Pisces for those interested in that realm of the world and skies. Sometimes it’s fun to believe in your horoscope, but only when it’s like, “hey the skies are telling me you’re going to make money,” and then you get a paycheck for 50 cents. What a jokester the…

About Me
Welcome! My name is Danni and I wanted to create a fun and inviting space where I could write about navigating military life and my experiences “just winging it”. Where the name comes from: My husband makes fun of me quite often because I wing a lot of things I do – recipes, making things, this blog, dog care, the list goes on. The most infuriating part for him (or so I assume) is that I google how to do things and STILL end up winging it. I guess I just don’t like the confines of directions. Some times it works out very well for me, other times it doesn’t,…

Welcome
Welcome to the winging it lifestyle! I want to open up a space where hopefully some of my experiences can help others who are trying to navigate the military and various adulthood topics. I don’t like to take life too seriously, so I want this to be a fun space for me and for you! How to Navigate: The Military Topics tab is pretty self explanatory. I’ll have topics on Marine Corps life, being a military spouse, making friends, pilot wife life, etc. If there are any topics you ever want me to discuss, please comment and let me know! The Things I Googled tab is also self explanatory, but I’ll post…
