Happy MilSpouse Appreciation Day!
I’ve done a few posts over the last few weeks talking about how we can celebrate the MilSpouses around us. While I still think that’s important, let’s be honest – it doesn’t hurt to celebrate ourselves a little bit, too. Since the President went to the...

It’s Toast
Our poor daughter has been sick today. Our conversation went like this: Sarah: I can’t remember, what does the T stand for in B.R.A.T.? Husband: What? Sarah: The T. You know, bananas, rice, applesauce…what? What’s the T? Husband: (looking...

Marine Wife Named Spouse of Year
I love the Military Spouse of the Year contests. It gives us a chance to recognize our incredible fellow spouses and be inspired by their selfless work. I may blog and work really hard to empower spouses with information while attempting to hold leadership...

Now That’s a Tasty Gig
My dream volunteer job is this: I eat cookies and then, when I’m done, people congratulate me for it. Complete fantasy? Not for a handful of MilSpouses at Fort Irwin, it’s not. They skipped the more mundane jobs for a spot breaking the world record for...

Always Ready
Part of being a military spouse is getting used to sporadic communication. It’s a big part. I can’t remember the last time I was able to just pick up a phone and call my husband at work – even when he’s not deployed – because...

Spouses {Heart} the Army Life
Spouses are in love with the Army life more than ever before, according to newly released Army survey results. Sixty-eight percent of spouses who took the Army’s family life survey said they want their soldiers to stay in the Army until retirement. And...

How to Juice a Zucchini
Did I ever tell you about my superpower? I know, I know…which one, right? (Heavy sarcasm intended.) Well, it’s not my ability to spot a grammatical error from a thousand yards (except in my own writing, naturally). Nor is it my ability to...

Decisions, Decisions
One of the things that I have always loved about being married to a person in the military is that it cuts down on a lot of the decision-making in my life. Decisions making is hard for me – there is usually some sort of spreadsheet involved, and...

The Wife of the Guy who Killed bin Laden
Of course, we don’t know and may not ever know who killed bin Laden or who his wife (if he’s married) is. But we do know the incredible pride the special operations community must be feeling right now for their servicemembers. The families...

SEALs Put the S-E in SEXY
I’ll admit that I love seeing a man in uniform. The first time I saw my husband in his BDUs (the Army’s camo of choice at the time), he took my breath away. He still does, only now I know firsthand the good, bad and ugly that comes with being...

My Husband, the “Badass”
When it comes to military life, and particularly huge stories like the death of Osama Bin Laden, my civilian friends are infinitely inquisitive. They want to get the “inside story” and they assume I have it. The problem, of course, is that...

Teach A Man To Fish…
A few years back, He of the Sea and I had the opportunity to play Army family for a year. It was a fascinating year in many regards, but two things really had an impact on me. Number One, I could really see clearly the extent of the burden that the Army...

Memorial Day Feels Different This Year
This week a reporter emailed me to ask my thoughts as the spouse of a deployed servicemember on Memorial Day, and I couldn’t answer the question for a whole day. I felt ridiculous for being at a loss for words. I sat down to write a response and...

Close Calls and Retroactive Panic
I knew something was up as soon as I opened the email. It was from my husband, but in place of Sampson’s familiar address was the name of one of his squadronmates. In what was obviously a message dashed off in haste on an unfamiliar keyboard, Sampson...
