Welcome to the Edge

Welcome to my little corner of the universe! My name is Shelbee and I am an over 40 stay-at-home mother of two boys named Archie and Ralphie, two cats named Dave and Frankie, and a bunny named George. I also was an Army wife until my husband retired after 22 years of service in 2021. We were stationed at Fort Drum and are remaining in the surrounding Watertown area in the northern reaches of New York State where the summers are short and the winters are long, cold, and very snowy. I decided to start blogging during my husband’s deployment to Afghanistan in 2015 as a means to reclaim some of the sanity I have lost trying to raise these boys in the midst of an extraordinary military lifestyle in this curious climate of the North Country!

I also would like to provide a welcoming forum for like-minded women and men to stop by to give and receive support and helpful insights into surviving this crazy, beautiful life. I hope to discuss topics such as Army life, parenting, fashion and style, and mental health. In my little space, you will be free to express yourself without judgments and showcase your own unique style without fear. Here’s hoping we can all find our own individual voices in each area of our lives. While I may teeter on the brink of sanity (and midlife), I still find ways to hang on and feel fabulous in the process! Please stop by for a bit and feel inspired!

And if you (or I) fall of the ledge every now and then, it is okay as long as we know how to swim!

Keeping it on the edge,

Shelbee

P.S. Please understand the risk involved in running a personal blog. I understand that risk is an essential part of progress, so I am putting it all out there! All I ask is that you please keep in mind that it is very intimidating to expose one’s life online. So please be gentle. And please be kind. And please be respectful of me and of anyone else who chooses to actively participate in my little corner of cyberspace. It is my passion to #SpreadTheKindness and I hope you will do the same!

Thanks so much!
