School?!

  Even though I’m new to this whole military wife thing, my husband and I have been married for 11+ years. In all that time we’ve both bounced around career ideas about a million times. My husband looked at schools for degrees in graphic design, finance, computer science, and teaching. He even was trying to [...]

TV Shopping without the Husband?!?

We were only a couple of weeks in to our most recent deployment and Murphy had reared his ugly head too many times to even want to remember! The last in our unfortunate incidences, the TV. One of my three wonderful children decided to take it out (with something apparently hard and sharp). This of [...]

May Challenge: Set Yourself Up for Success!

Routine brings simplicity to life, and structure that supports you for success. Sometimes it has a negative connotation, but when you have routines in place that honor your goals and dreams, amazing things can happen. Today, on this first day of May, I’d like to challenge My Military Life readers to set up a new [...]

The Month of the Military Child 2012

As April comes to close, I was thinking about the strength of  the Military Child.  I have 3 kids that I affectionately call the brats.  In society that title has such a negative connotation…in my home my kids love it.  They are amazing, but really what parent doesn’t say that about their children?  In many [...]

The Lucky One review, I was the lucky one…

I have to admit as I begin this review that I have a love hate relationship with the books of Nicholas Sparks.  I love them but then throw them at the end when the ending is different than what I thought. As the theater lights lowered I could already feel my heart pumping anxiously to [...]

I might be deployed then

A couple of days ago my husband and I were talking about something that I was planning to do next year.  He made the comment, “I might be deployed then…”  It kinda took me by surprise a little bit.  My husband has been home for 9 months now and we finally get to have more [...]

DITY been there, survived that!

In the military we move more times that we can count, we unpack boxes and watch as total strangers pack our personal effects into cardboard wrapped in paper.  We watch as canned beans are combined with blankets from the living room and strange items get packed with our electronics.  A military move is rough, when [...]

Going Home?!

As this is published I’ll actually be “home” for the first time since we moved February 2011. I’m thankful in a way that we didn’t make it home any sooner because as I said last month, we’re finally feeling at home here. If I had been able to pull away and go to our safety [...]

Coupons To Troops

I first heard about Coupons to Troops while lazily scrolling through my Facebook news feed as I have so many other times before. Cool, so-and-so got her hair cut. Great, this dude is at work. Blah, blah. Same old, same old. However a picture of a ton of coupons caught my eye that was posted [...]
