Has Worry Got The Best of You?
Do you allow yourself to stay awake deep into the evening, worrying about things that will never come to pass? Do you find yourself thinking about yesterday and how it will affect your tomorrow? This has been me since the middle of May. Something struck at home and consumed me with worry—worry for today, worry for tomorrow. I haven’t been able to think and dreams haunt my night. I’ve finally found the courage to write about it and hope it helps you, too.
5 Go-To Recipes for Back to School
My husband once said to me, as I grimaced and tossed what was left of my dinner in the trash, “You know, you don’t eat much of your own cooking.” That night had seen the creation of yet another failed Pinterest recipe (or maybe that was how it was supposed to taste, who knows, but whatever the case, the result was not good). I turned to him and replied, “I’d eat more of my own cooking if it was any good.”
How Do I Teach My Teen Good Money Habits?
One of the main goals of a parent is to prepare your children for adulthood.
To that end, few lessons are as useful as learning how to handle money. Many of us learned those lessons the hard way. By educating your teens on family finances, you can pave the way for their success.
A Visit Home
I’m currently back in my home state of Indiana, visiting with family. My husband is PCSing to Korea next month, (you can read more about that here), and we decided a visit home was incredibly overdue. So far, we get to come back to the Midwest about once a year, so it’s always nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of installation living every now and again.
The Backward PCS: Part 2
Last month, I shared the first half of what I deemed an epic list of “backward” PCS tips. (And yes, I’m biased.) My Facebook friends contributed to the humorous list, and now I would like to share the second portion of the how-not-to-PCS strategies. (To get caught up and read the first post in this series, click here)
6 Tips for a PCS with Pets
Due to a serious lack of self-control around cute, furry things, my husband and I have managed to accumulate three dogs and a cat over the past several years. That’s right, three dogs—and they aren’t three Chihuahuas either. We added one at each duty station. Chris and I each brought one dog into our marriage, and we moved with two dogs from Fort Hood to Fort Benning. Then, we added a third dog at Benning, and the five of us (including my husband and I) PCS’d to Fort Bragg.
