5 Things a Milspouse Should Never Do

5 Things a Milspouse Should Never Do

by | May 14, 2015

May is recognized as Military Appreciation Month. It’s a time where we celebrate different aspects of the military community, from military spouses to those that made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, it’s a time to reflect on how amazing our military community. There is Mother’s Day. My soldier and I don’t have any kids yet, but I’m incredibly lucky to have an awesome mother on my side that also took in her first son (-in-law) a couple years ago. Last year, I talked about how thankful I am to have her in my life. I thought it would only be appropriate to share some important lessons learned.

3 Tips for Budgeting

First, I’d like to apologize for my lack of a new month’s resolution last month. PCSing from Alaska to Kentucky took a little bit longer than I had planned, and then once we got here, we had issues with internet service. Not to mention the truck of stuff to unpack! I’m not exaggerating—it was 11 crates. Still under the weight limit, though—good thing yarn doesn’t weigh a lot.

But now that 90% of everything is in its place, the internet is up and running (unlimited internet, you guys!), and the kids are  back in school, I’m ready with another resolution—taking charge of finances.

Some knew their service members for years prior to marrying into the military. Others found love in the most unique places. There’s been full-blown weddings and simple Justice of the Peace ceremonies. Terms like TDYs, PCSing, deployments, homecomings, and a whole list of others that seem like a foreign language to our friends and family outside the military are normal for us.

Memorial Day is a day I will always struggle with.

Memorial Day 2012 will always be the most memorable and heartbreaking holiday I have ever experienced. 

That emotional day, Toby was returned to us in a flag-draped casket after he lost his life in Afghanistan.

I don’t consider myself to be fashion conscious, and truth be told, I can’t make sense of most clothing trends. But during a recent wardrobe reset, I’ve finally found a trend I can get behind: the minimalist wardrobe.
