“Come to yoga,” they said.
“It’ll help you unwind,” they said.

Fun fact: Yoga is much more enjoyable when you’re flexible; don’t believe the hype!
For those of you who’ve experienced myriad successful and not-so-successful Family Readiness Groups (FRGS) throughout your military journey, don’t fret because this is totally the norm!

Growing up, my best friend and I loved to talk to each other in movie quotes. We would converse by stealing lines from the movies we saw together and loved. I remember gifting her a calendar of quotes as a present. I hope it was a daily calendar. Hope that I actually sat there and thought up 365 different quotes from movies we enjoyed together, but I can’t quite remember if I was that inspired.
If you read Part One, then you are now ready for planning your meal, to include prepping days in advance by getting your home (and more) ready.
There are a lot of layers to military spouse life.
It’s kind of like an onion. (Or, as Donkey from the movie Shrek insists, it’s like a parfait. Which sounds delicious. But I digress.)

My name is Elisa, and I have Celiac Disease.
Like many celiacs out there, I also cannot properly digest lactose, which, as I’ve learned, is a very difficult diet combo to live with and for good reason. The fact is, a lot of dairy-free foods still have some form of lactose in them. Unless you’ve done your research, you can easily miss it.
