Getting Back to the Basics
Is there a point where you feel that you have to get back to the basics and start all over again? Your fitness program can be interrupted by family, work, injury, and health issues.
The initial reaction is to try to figure out how long you’ll be out of commission. The amount of time will be based upon the situation.
Big Red One: 100 Years and Counting
As I sit here listening to the artillery, the impact being made by Big Red One soldiers today is not overlooked.
A Letter to My Military Brat
On May 22, 2017, at 1:52 p.m. my first baby boy, Mark, came into the world after a 10-hour labor.
The moment I’d been dreaming of since I was a little girl began in an instant, and it hasn’t slowed down since. I’ll never forget the moment my husband and I walked into the house with that clunky infant carrier and over-packed diaper bag, looked at each other, and uttered, “Now what?”
Most Memorable Milspouse Moments: Part 3

Shine Your Light in the Darkness
While there are a lot of great things about being a part of a military community, it also has its downsides.

Sometimes, it can feel like military life has a lot of darkness.
But when you see the light, something amazing happens.

Shopping for back-to-school supplies isn’t the way it used to be, that’s for sure. Yes, some schools still send home sheets of specific items for your child’s use, but other methods are showing up too.
Believe it or not, they might even be easier than shopping for an itemized list of 25 things.
