Being versus Doing: Finding Peace as a Military Spouse During the Holidays
The holiday season always seems to bring an extra dose of expectation and a whirlwind of “to-dos” for military spouses. There are cookies to bake, parties to attend, decorations to put up, and gifts to buy. For military families, the holidays can also bring added layers of complexity.
Peel, Refresh, and Start Again

Forever in Ziplocks and Totes
If you walk into a military family’s home during a PCS, you will find a good portion of their belongings squished into Ziplock bags, or stuffed into large, plastic totes.

I can’t imagine my life without the use of them…because they are not only a necessity during our PCSes, but they are also still a part of my daily life.
