Jennifer Rutherford Hi! I’m Jennifer Rutherford, AKA "Carter's Mom," "Gunter's Mom," and sometimes "Captain Rutherford's/Mark's Wife." We currently live in Fort Hood, Texas where I spend most of my days chauffeuring children to and from school, soccer and swim practices. Much to my mother’s chagrin, I taught Home Ec (Interior Design/Fashion Design and Nutrition). for a little over a decade, instead of attending law school as was the plan. I have been a stay at home mom and a working mom and I’m here to tell you they are both exhausting! I like running and reading, but if I’m being honest, my absolute favorite hobby is shopping! My boys keep me busy and even though there are times I wish I had a daughter, I know that God’s plan for me to be a delicate flower in a sea of weeds is just what was meant to be. |
Ashley Smith Life in the Military can sometimes be a scheduling challenge so being spontaneous and flexible is a must! We have found that some of our favorite family memories are the unplanned spontaneous moments, that occur in the midst of a crazy training schedule or in preparation for Military Schools or Deployments. We also love the outdoors, running and hiking and have made great friends through participating in local events. Simply walking the kids to school gave us the opportunity to meet other parents and families like ours, and what was once a stranger becomes a life long friend! |

Mellissa Chain Every year we take time to just be a family! With deployments and field time, school and building my own business and team as a Independent Alcone Presenter, we miss out on a lot. Spending time together is super important to us. It gives us time to reconnect as a family. We take a week or 2 just to be us. No other people around. Just our family. Sometimes it's taking a trip together, and sometimes it's just us at home. Either way we know how important it is to make that time together as a family. To just be us! |
