Kevin left this afternoon for Houston, and then he will take the LONG flight to Dubai where he’ll spend a couple of days waiting on his visa to be ready. I am a mix of emotions, which is about par for the course. I know he loves the game, and this is how he makes [...]

Kevin, me and The Boy– living abroad, just the three of us.
Our current situation– Kevin abroad, me and The Boy in the U.S.
Today I will address lifestyle two– the three of us abroad. I am not [...]
As I mentioned last week, fellow basketwife, Erin, is posting a series on being the wife of a professional athlete. In part three, I made a comment about being “too tired” is a cop-out in our family. It has not always been this way. I was going to wait to post about the articles/series until [...]
