Caring for Siblings of Special Needs Children
Parenting can be hard in any situation, but especially when you have a child with special needs.

5 Tips for Planning a Military Wedding
I married my Army man almost two years ago and had so much fun planning it that I decided to try to get into event planning. I’m super excited to share that with you, so soon after writing this post last month, expressing my fears about my burgeoning career already stagnating. Turns out, I was offered a job as the Director of Catering and Events at a country club! This new experience has been amazing, and I’m learning new things constantly.

Parenting gets complicated, demanding, exhausting, and is often a thankless job with little recognition for all the hard work and sleepless nights you put into it.
7 Ways Being a Milspouse is Like Parenting A Toddler
Our Tiny Human just turned 3 years old. And with the Terrible Twos behind us, I thought things would flip like a light switch as the final smoke wafted from her blown-out candles.
And it did. We went directly into the Threenager Stage.
It’s really not that bad. In fact, I like her more now than I did this time three years ago after 12 hours of Pictocin-induced labor with no pain meds. (Side note: I have, of course, always loved her. She is just more fun.)
