We’ve all been there, last-minute PCS orders, canceled leave, rescheduled deployment dates. As a military spouse, I write everything on my calendar in pencil! Homeschooling provides the flexibility necessary for military families with our ever-changing, on-the-go lifestyle.

The Medal of Honor Series, Episode 2: SSG Clint Romesha
We had been asked to screen the new Netflix docuseries, Medal of Honor, watching “Episode 2: Staff Sgt. Clint Romesha.” I specifically chose Clint Romesha because I’ve read his book, Red Platoon, and was privileged to interview him on Army Wife Talk Radio back in 2016, right around the time of his book release. (Want to check it out? You can find the interview here: AWTR Show 567: Red Platoon, A True Story of American Valor.)
Magnum PI Red Carpet Recap
There’s something about the glamorous life of Hollywood that makes most people beg for more. We want to know #AllTheThings and #MeetAllThePeople because, come on, it’s Hollywood!
If you ask me to describe the military spouse life, my responses would vary but they would be primarily positive (sure, I’m biased). I might say it’s informative. Challenging. Never ever boring. A great opportunity for personal growth. But glamorous? Not really in my top 10 responses to describe this particular military spouse’s life.
Developing a Positive Attitude Using Affirmations
Most of us know the importance of maintaining a positive attitude. There are serious benefits to optimism.
Resiliency, Romantically Speaking
Resiliency—a term we hear a lot about in the military community. My chaplain husband mentions it often. However, the term wasn’t really something I thought much about until one evening when my husband used it to describe me. Suddenly, I wanted to know more.
A Salute to the Military Family
I’ve long held a deep respect and gratitude for our military and their service to our country even before becoming a military spouse. Our service members are willing to lay their lives on the line so that others don’t have to experience how war touches their lives. Since joining the ranks of military spouse several years ago, I’ve also grown to greatly appreciate the sacrifices of the families of our service members as well.
November is Military Family Appreciation Month, as declared in a proclamation signed each year by the president as a way of honoring and celebrating military families and recognizing their sacrifices and dedication to our nation.
