Why I need my own parental controls
Or, “My Fight Against Digital Distraction” A funny thing happened on Tuesday night. My internet took a total dump. I mean, a total blackout of all internet access inside my home.

Hi! I am @TorreyLisa, a public figure and wife of a wounded warrior. You can follow me through the ups and downs of managing life after combat. Fueled by copious amounts of coffee and armed with an incredible sense of humor, I am "spilling the beans" about life, writing, relationships and cutting bureaucratic red tape.
I promise to regularly deliver inspiration, education, resources and humor to the military and caregiver community with a special focus on how to improve, simplify and enjoy our complicated lives.
This is my blog. My thoughts, feelings, survival tactics, and life. Uncensored.Welcome.
