The “Sweet Spot” Summer
Halfway through our two-year OCONUS orders, my family is embracing our “sweet spot” summer.
5 Tips for Making Home Exercise Work
This is a crazy time, right?
We are in a situation where our homes are more multifunctional than ever—school, office, home, and gym.
This has been a topic of conversation for a lot of people, and Instagram has blown up with hashtags featuring some unique perspectives on exercise at home, even yoga poses with a wine glass in hand. While some have found the silver lining of this pandemic (e.g. more hours to workout, more time in nature and with family, or more mindfulness), others have found the stress of homes crowded with kids or fur babies to be a blessing.
Knives, Forks, and Spoons
The AWN traditions and protocol team hopes you will enjoy this post about table settings and “dressing” the table. A time to reflect on family and all of our blessings!
With the holidays fast approaching, it’s a great time to keep up your family traditions or experiment with new decoration ideas. You can set the table with varying heights for the appetizers and use festive table linens, candles, and a centerpiece!
Faces of Resilience
Resilience has been the key word for 2020. This year has brought us a pandemic, an economic crisis, an upheaval of normalcy, and so much more. Yet, through it all, we have persevered.
As James Lane Allen once said, “adversity does not build character, it reveals it.” This year, the nation—and the world—has experienced adversity.
The Year It All Came Together
Well, most of it, that is.
It seems that no matter who your ears tune into these days, someone somewhere is sharing their story of sorrow and distress. This year has really done a number on a number of us.
My bishop, for example, was put on life support, my beautiful baby girl had to be tested for COVID-19, and close friends of mine lost loved ones. The stories go on and on. But even amidst all of this chaos there is hope, good news, and, yes, even blessings.
Milspouse vs. Mrs. Claus: Who Will Win?
The holidays can be an exciting time—the lights, the joy, the hope that permeates the atmosphere. The overall holiday experience can get even more revved up with the much-anticipated sports match-ups.
As special holiday treat, we bring you coverage of the Tough Enough Showdown of the Year: The Military Spouse vs. Mrs. Claus! The gloves are coming off to determine who does it better between these two empowered individuals.
Looks like the match up of the year is about to start. Let’s tune in!
Winter in Alaska
Winter is in full swing up here in Alaska and has been since October when the first snow fell. With that being said, it’s my first full winter up here, and I was definitely not looking forward to it because I’d been in Texas for the past three winters. I’ve learned a lot since moving up here, especially about getting through the winter months in this climate.
