6 Tips for Studying with a Toddler
If you’re in the back-to-school game this year because you’re furthering your education as an adult, you may have noticed it’s a little different than before kids. Whereas before children, you could study or do your homework in any room of the house, your books and papers spread out on a floor or table. But when studying with a toddler, books and papers anywhere within reach can spell disaster!
Has Worry Got The Best of You?
Do you allow yourself to stay awake deep into the evening, worrying about things that will never come to pass? Do you find yourself thinking about yesterday and how it will affect your tomorrow? This has been me since the middle of May. Something struck at home and consumed me with worry—worry for today, worry for tomorrow. I haven’t been able to think and dreams haunt my night. I’ve finally found the courage to write about it and hope it helps you, too.
5 Go-To Recipes for Back to School
My husband once said to me, as I grimaced and tossed what was left of my dinner in the trash, “You know, you don’t eat much of your own cooking.” That night had seen the creation of yet another failed Pinterest recipe (or maybe that was how it was supposed to taste, who knows, but whatever the case, the result was not good). I turned to him and replied, “I’d eat more of my own cooking if it was any good.”
6 Tips for a PCS with Pets
Due to a serious lack of self-control around cute, furry things, my husband and I have managed to accumulate three dogs and a cat over the past several years. That’s right, three dogs—and they aren’t three Chihuahuas either. We added one at each duty station. Chris and I each brought one dog into our marriage, and we moved with two dogs from Fort Hood to Fort Benning. Then, we added a third dog at Benning, and the five of us (including my husband and I) PCS’d to Fort Bragg.
Staycations Around Your Duty Station
Military and civilian families from coast to coast have either gone or are preparing for their much anticipated (and often much needed!) summer vacations. Most of the time, we spend months planning for our trips, especially if they’re far away. But, sometimes, a vacation to a distant land isn’t viable. Summertime is also the time of the year that boasts the most expensive rates for flights and vacation packages. My husband and I try to plan on big vacations during the off-season, just to save some bucks in our big trips. Staycations are in the cards for many this year.
