Round two of doctor appointments for the day. Thank goodness for my @rriveterbags Doyle. This is not a ad and I’m not an ambassador for the company. This is real life. This bag is my everything. It even has its own theme song - “I look into my Barney bag and I see a lot of things. From gizmos and gadgets. To odds and ends. And even some old string…”. Yup. If you know it your singing it aren’t you? ………………………………………………… #bagsonamission #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #purse #barneybag #idatedmyself #barney #bag #workhorse (at Fort Bragg, North Carolina)

Today we went to get my spouse ID card and it didn’t quite go as smoothly as I wanted 😂 But it was a learning lesson for all involved and we walked out of there with an ID that had my new name on it! I could have not asked her to check, could have not argued about whether or not that was a thing they could do now without my social security card but I persisted and it turns out that the regulation has actually changed. 💛 Why am I telling you this? Because before we left the woman who was helping us, a military spouse herself of 31 years, said to me: “Don’t ever stop being a spitfire, especially as a military spouse.” 💛 There is a balance in knowing when to press forward, when to argue and fight back, when to pursue a dream, and when to fall back. I’m so glad God uses these simple ways to remind me of the season of life I’m in. A season of pushing forward, of pursuing my dreams, of kicking butt and taking names 😜 I’m so excited to see what the next couple of months has in store for me, my family, and my little internet community. 💛 #bagsonamission #militaryblogger #militaryspouse #milspouse #armywife #thesassyclub #tscbloggers #influencehercollective #amcoffeecollective #targetstyle (at West Point - The U.S. Military Academy)

Before he walked me down the aisle my dad said to me, “Don’t be afraid of taking more chances.” I have always been sheltered, not because my parents sheltered me, but because I sheltered myself. If there’s anything the last few weeks have taught me it’s that life is too short to miss out in something because you’re too afraid of taking chances, of letting yourself be vulnerable. Anyone else struggle with this? Let’s make a pact this summer to be braver, to be wilder, to let ourselves take chances without worrying about the “what if’s” and what other people may think. Who’s with me? 🙌🏻 #bagsonamission #amcoffeecollective #thesassyclub #bloggerfashion #bloggersofinstagram #westpoint #trophypoint #hudsonvalley #hudsonvalleyblogger #targetstyle (at Trophy Point)

Introducing the Newest member of my @Rriveterbags Family The Hobby - this little beauty has proven itself to be the best of both worlds and here's why . . . http://bit.ly/2L01PK8

How are Y’all doing today? It’s a pretty dreary Monday here in NY and I felt called to actually check in on ya. Too often we spend way too much time talking about ourselves and not focusing on asking others how they’re doing. So today I want to know how you’re doing. What are you worried and/or excited for this week? Maybe there’s a prayer request you need. Maybe you just need some kind words of encouragement (psst... just wrote a whole blog post filled with inspirational quotes 😉). This week I’m super excited about heading to NYC to see @hpplaynyc on Wednesday and I’m worried about struggling to get back into a workout routine. Leave your questions/comments/thoughts/concerns/prayer requests below so we can further pour into this community 👇🏻🙌🏻 #amcoffeecollective #darrianmichelleblog #liveauthentic #authenticbloggers #bagsonamission #mondaymotivation #inspiringquotes (at Trophy Point)

I packed the world in this thing today. It’s pulling it’s weight around pretty good. …………………………………… #bagsonamission #RRiveterbags #americanmade #madeintheusa #milspouse #ncmade #fortbragg #blogger #ncblogger #lifestyleblogger #armywife #purse #support #va #rva #richmondva #richmond #vacation #travel #wanderlust #adventure (at Richmond, Virginia)

I am OBSESSED with this outfit that I rocked last weekend in Tennessee. You know that I’ll be doing what I do best and repeating this bad boy all spring and summer 💁🏻‍♀️😂 S/O to @laura_turns and her shop @matties.roost for making such a cute back drop (how seriously adorable are all these baby baskets?!). I’ll be sharing the details of all the outfits I wore in Nashville tomorrow on the blog so stay tuned! PS: These @targetstyle shoes are the comfiest ever, I walked around Nashville for two days in them! #nashville #nashvilleoutfit #expressclothing #topshopstyle #topshopjeans #targetstyle #bagsonamission #clarksvilletn #darrianmichelleblog #fashionblogger #momjeans (at Miss Lucille's Marketplace)
