Fall is Here!
It’s the fall. How does this make you feel? Me personally? I love it. I love the cooler weather. I love the orange and yellow leaves. I love the new season. It feels like a new start. New school year, new job year, all that good stuff. It’s also scary...
New Year, New Plans
Tis the season to be making some growth (moves). As the New Year draws closer and closer, we all gear up to make New Year’s resolutions and map out personal goals for the year. It’s always so hard to classify each goal by priority and time length. I, personally, struggle with finding the right length of time for each goal, and laying the groundwork for a long-term goal.

An Open Letter To My Military Child
As I write this, tears are welling in my eyes. You, my military child, are 4. Where did my little guy go?

How the USO Supports MilFams This Holiday Season
The USO (United Service Organizations) has been dedicated to supporting service members and their families since 1941. While the USO has stood with military families since its inception, in 2016 it launched a worldwide initiative focusing on programs to strengthen and empower military spouses by connecting them to their social, professional, and community networks. Additionally, in recent years, the USO has bolstered its military family programming, offering a wide-range of options serving the entire military family.
In the Spirit of Giving
Within the traditions we share in this blog post, there are also those Army traditions to support our families and soldiers, especially during the holidays. As we approach the holiday season, celebrating in so many various ways, let’s not forget to reach out to those who may need a little extra support! This could be both on your current installation or in the surrounding community.
