Finding me

After 10 years of sleeping, eating and breathing baseball, S decided it was a good time to retire. He felt as if he gave it everything he had and no regrets. It’s hard to put into words the feelings and emotions as you look back at the memories we have made in baseball. The places […]

Recap

What can I say besides 2018 was a little wild. Isn’t every year when you’re involved in baseball?

If you really think about it, it’s kind of scary and sad that everything in our country is about the “Benjamins.” I went to listen to a man who formulates for different companies and when he explained the […]

Happy Birthday Sutton

Today, you are 1! I want you to know that you were no mistake or “oops, I’m pregnant.” You were so wanted and prayed for my child. I prayed the verse Psalm 113:9. “He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the LORD.” God’s timing was perfect to […]

Rebranding

Writing is something I have always enjoyed. I started “The Life of the Traveling Baseball Wife” in 2015 after my dad gave me the idea. He said friends and family back home wanted to keep up with S and I, so I said well sure I will just start a blog. Well, 3 years later, […]
