The Best Version of Ourselves
It’s the beginning of a new year. Rather than making a list of resolutions, let’s try to work towards being the best version of ourselves.
Reasons for Milspouse Pride: Part 2
Some people believe there can be too much of a good thing. I might agree with this statement if talking about rich cheeses, excessive exercise, or Netflix binge watching, but I just can’t agree that there is ever such a “thing” as too much military spouse pride.
You might remember that last month I shared the first installment of our series “Reasons from Milspouse Pride.”
PCS Orders During High School
Moving your family during a child’s high school years is hard, no question about it. For many career military families, the latest move may be one of several they’ve faced during their child’s teen years. Some families, especially those with high school juniors or seniors, may decide forcing another move on their teen is not something they’re willing to do again.
13 Years Later
As this new year begins, my husband and I are about to celebrate the 13th anniversary of when we started dating. I sometimes can’t believe I’ve spent almost half of my life with him already, but something even more surprising is how much life we’ve gone through these last 13 years: separations, deployments, multiple PCSes, parenthood, struggles, and successes.
Being the Best You in 2017
Greetings to all, and Happy New Year. Here we are again at the start of another year. Take a few minutes to reflect on 2016 and how it was for you. Whatever the outcome, there’s nothing you can do to change it, but you’re in a better position to reset for 2017 and take a serious look at what may lie ahead to be the best you on your fitness journey.
6 Ways Pregnancy is Like Being a Milspouse
As I write this post, I’m sitting in the recliner with my feet up. My dog is nestled beside me, my arms are stretched out farther than they have ever been before as my “belly dances,” and I mentally calculate how long I have until it’s my daily “power nap time.”
Yep. You guessed it. I’m pregnant. The State of the Uterus is very much occupied.
I’m at the point in this pregnancy that no longer classifies as a “little bit” pregnant. I’m really pregnant. Like rapidly-approaching-end-of-third-trimester pregnant.
Accepted! (With Caution?)
These were the words that popped up on my email notifications first thing last Monday morning. I rubbed my eyes, sat up, and clicked on the email to read further. A few weeks before I had applied to graduate school and apparently I was accepted…with caution.
A million thoughts ran through my mind, most of them centering around the fact that this was about to get real, real fast. But one question kept nagging me: Why did they put “with caution” in the subject line? What did that mean?
