Can I see a show of hands for everyone with little kids? I was thinking about you all this week as I was asked to babysit an actual baby. Who knows the song by the Byrds, to which the lyrics are “To everything turn, turn, turn/ There is a season turn, turn, turn.” That is also [...]

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 [...]

I asked how military families do Thanksgiving and she said they were having people over, and without thinking I said, “Can we [...]

Thank you
