Buried interests
Most of us harbor interests, passions, and dreams that rarely see the light of day. They lie dormant within us, beneath piles of obligations and expectations.

The Gloves Were Us
To keep traditions and customs alive, it is customary to share, either by personal example or through written or verbal means. But because of COVID, the normal battle rhythm is anything but normal, so the AWN Protocol and Etiquette Team thought we’d share a fun “throwback” topic! You may have read our blog entitled “Dress for the Occasion.” One word you didn’t find there was “gloves.”
The No Good, Very Bad, COVID PCS
Almost every day, for the last three weeks, I’ve started my morning with a special brew. I walk down to the cozy café (that is, the breakfast lounge of the installation hotel—PCS, anyone?), and pour the nearly fresh coffee into its signature Styrofoam cup. I’m a decaf person, but depending on the night from which I have just awoken, I may mix myself a half-caffeinated cup of coffee, or a few times now, full-on regular.
So yeah, it’s been a little rough.
My Child is a Picky Eater, but Could It Be Something More?
When does your child’s love of nothing but chicken nuggets and french fries become problematic? When does extremely picky eating turn into an eating disorder known as ARFID? And what can you as a parent do to help?
How to Manage Your Holiday Spending
There is nothing better, nothing more joyous, than giving during the holidays. The sparkling eyes of children under the tree tearing into packages on Christmas morning; the laughter at grandma’s house as gifts are opened. It all makes your heart swell with joy—except for the holiday spending.
Along comes January and the bills and that joyous heart suddenly drops.
Why We Celebrate National Day of the Deployed
Every year, Oct. 26 is celebrated as the National Day of the Deployed, a day where we honor all of those who have deployed in service to the nation, as well as the sacrifices military families must make while their loved one is overseas. Since 2012, every state in the U.S. observes the day.
And they should.
