Did You Do Anything Right This Year??
I’m pretty sure it is a bad sign when people start making New Year’s resolutions for you. My husband wants me to join him on his fabulous new caffeine-free lifestyle. He also keeps dropping the word “paleo” into conversation. My mom cut out a little article...

Is This a Coming Year of Ingratitude?
Are we entering a year of unthankfulness? Will this be a time of ingratitude? That’s a strange thought for this time of year. Usually this is the time of year our country profoundly loves our folks in uniform. We get teary during football games over holiday...

I admit it. For many years early in my military married life, I was a charter member of the Ain’t It Awful Club. Heck, I founded chapters with each new move even if I was the only member at times. I complained constantly about the things I couldn’t do...

Why Congress Scares Me More Than Deployment
My husband will deploy next year to Afghanistan in a junky military aircraft without ejection seats. His battlefield enemies don’t scare me nearly as much as Congress does. Why? Because the Senate just approved the bipartisan budget deal with the pension...

I Admit It: I Was an Ignorant Civilian
It’s no secret that I love the movies. And up until a few weeks ago, on the list of movies I loved was Black Hawk. Down. It was the first time I had watched it as a military spouse with a few deployment cycles under my belt. As a civilian, when I watched...

Top 7 Movies To Pull You Through Deployment Holidays
