Making the Most of Military Allowances During a PCS
How can three little letters cause such a big disruption to your household budget? PCSs are a normal part of most active-duty military life, and with it comes the chaos! Don’t let that paralyze you or stress you out. We are here to help you navigate this time with information and resources.
The Importance of Self-Care for the Homeschooling Military Spouse
Self-care has become a fashionable buzzword in our culture. Still, as Dr. Sharita Knobloch points out, self-care deserves a key place in the life of every homeschooling military spouse.
OCONUS Military Spouses Build Community
After you PCS, do you ever arrive at a new location and feel completely lost? In my time as a military spouse, this feeling was further exacerbated during our OCONUS tours. When we moved to Japan, my twins were three, my spouse was immediately gone off on deployment, where he remained for most of the tour. I couldn’t figure out the language, let alone the basics of this new life we had been thrown into a million miles from the comforts of home.
Poppin’ Smoke While On The Run
If the term “Poppin Smoke” is new to you, then at the conclusion of this, you will understand the motivation of Stephanie Montague. When her husband retired from the Army, they merged travel and exercise into a package. The best way to exercise is to be grounded. This turned out to be a challenge, but they can do it in a variety of locations.
Self-Image is a Journey
I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching this past year (well three years, rather) when it comes to self-image. I’ve been relearning how to love myself the way I am. Scratch that: I do love myself the way I am! But that’s now. Getting to where I am right now, feeling more confident and happy with my self-image, took some time.
Preparing for a Career Change
When I graduated college, I thought I had landed my dream job. For a while, it was everything I wanted it to be. After five years in the field, I realized my career was no longer conducive to family life, work life balance, and overall did not make me happy anymore. I considered enduring the dissatisfaction because the position I accepted aligned with my college degree. I also recognized I didn’t want to face the fear of the unknown by starting over.
