for the unseen, in-between, and a little off the standard issue

Welcome to Cat Hair & Camo — a cozy corner of the internet made for the unseen, the in-between, and anyone feeling just a little off the standard issue.

I’ve been a National Guard spouse for 6 years, which means I’ve lived the military life… with a twist. My husband serves full-time in the Army National Guard, and while we don’t move as much as active duty families, we do relocate more than most Guard folks — and definitely more than we expected.

I'm also a meeting & event manager with a color-coded planner and a caffeine habit to match. We don’t have kids (just two cats with main-character energy), and when I’m not planning meetings or traveling for work, you’ll find me running, lifting weights, or writing unfiltered blog posts for Cat Hair & Camo. This space is my creative outlet between work, army chaos, and trying to remember if I’ve fed the cats (again).

This blog is for the military spouse who doesn’t quite fit the mold — the ones without kids, the ones navigating Guard life from a different angle, the ones who feel a little overlooked in the larger milspouse world. Whether you’re looking for PCS hacks, some unfiltered sass, a few laughs, or just a place to feel seen, you’re in the right place.

Let’s be real — this life is a lot. But it’s also weirdly wonderful. And through the chaos, cat fur, and camo…I’m glad you’re here. 💛
