We’re Not the Only People Moving to GTMO

by Toni Herrbach

This the story of how I became “The Happy Housewife.” You might want to start at the beginning. During the spring of 2002 we found out that we weren't the only ones headed to GTMO. We would be joined by the detainees. At first Sailor wasn't sure if it would still be a safe place to raise a family, but after talking to several people who were already there, we were assured that nothing much ...

Chick-Fil-A Kid’s Meal Party

by Toni Herrbach

Earlier this month I was able to visit Chick-Fil-A's corporate offices in Atlanta, Georgia. While it didn't take much convincing to attend this event, I came away with an even greater appreciation for the company and their corporate values. Outside the headquarters. Inside the corporate headquarters. I'll let you in on a little secret, one of my favorite meals at Chick-Fil-A is ...
