2013 has been a year of trial and error so far. I have not thought about babies since my seven-year old was born. Once she was potty trained, I looked forward and never once looked back. Well, now that A is here, I am learning as I go. To all of those that told me [...]

Happy New Year! Or, as Italians might say, Buon Anno! It’s been awhile since I’ve written for My Military Life and I have to say, I’m super excited to be back. I’m in my last year of graduate school so any time I’ve spent on a computer in the past few months had been dedicated [...]

Do you ever get into those moods where you feel like eating breakfast for dinner or brenner? In my house, brenner comes at least once a week. There is something about eating an omelet or french toast at the wrong hour of the day to make you feel like a college kid again. I blame [...]

Since my delivery, life has kind of sped by me. I feel like if I blink anymore, my precious baby will be a grown woman running off to college and getting married. I’ve forgotten how exciting and precious these first few months to a year of life are with an infant. Unfortunately, my husband B [...]

My Military Life is going to start doing some book reviews. This book came up first, and after a busy month of running around I finally sat down to read it. After 17 years as an Army spouse, you would think I would have read my fair share of books written for military spouses. I [...]

A friend and I sneaked off during the day while my kids were at school to see the world premiere of a play. We didn’t really know what it was going to be about or how we were going to like it. We walked to the theater and talked about how good/bad it could [...]

No one said being a military spouse was easy. There are many challenges we must face on a daily basis that the civilian world doesn’t. One of those inevitable challenges would be deployment. Deployments can leave a loved one feeling sad, anxious, lonely, or doubtful about what the future can hold. They can also [...]

I’ve never really been a patriotic person. Not to say I don’t tear up when the Star Spangled Banner plays on July 4th or that I burn the flag or anything, but I’ve never been one to run around the streets of America professing my love for my country and it’s people. Truth be told, [...]
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 [...]
