We Are Not Fans
Every team that my husband has been with has a special place in my heart for different reasons. They will ALWAYS hold that place in my heart. However, I am not a fan of those teams. I would presume that 95% of WAGS feel the exact same way that I do. Of course we wear […]

Surrounded by professional soccer players, growing up running around stadiums, traveling with the team, hanging out at the lake with players whose names are on the backs of 1/2 the jerseys in the stadium, having dinner with famous players and coaches, being handed opportunities like going to concerts or the Super Bowl because of who […]

Seasons of Change
Every season brings change- it happens at the end and even through the beginning of each and every season; in life and in the beautiful game of soccer. As wives, we experience the heart break, the excitement and the anxiety of each season of change. We watch families pack up and move to new cities […]
~How Did I Get Here~
I knew from an early age that I didn’t want to marry a man that would wear a suit and sit behind a desk everyday. BORING! I wanted someone who is creative and adventurous; an artist. I dated all types of artists; painters, muscians- you name it. And then I met THE ONE. He was […]
