Service Members: Underworked/Overpaid or Overworked/Underpaid?

Talk of military pay and benefits being cut has stirred something inside a lot of us. Something that makes us question our way of life, something that makes us believe that people think our Service Members are overcompensated for services rendered.

The Great Elf Adventures

I am assuming by now that most everyone has seen the sneaky little Elves that take over homes this time of year. You probably either have one or wake up to a news feed of pictures from friends who have them! Santa sends these magic elves and the children get to name him or her [...]

The Comfort Team: Review

2 Dinners and… a Lack of OPSEC!

In the last week, my family and I have gone out twice for dinner. In both of our adventures, we were seated next to tables that consisted of 2 or 3 women with 2 or 3 kids apiece. Needless to say it was a little loud and rowdy at times. I have 3 kids myself [...]
