Fast fact: Our blog will publish it’s 3000th (yes, you read that right!) blog post in 2023. All of the content is brought to you by empowered experience volunteer bloggers and insightful expert bloggers. You name a topic that a military spouse or organization could write about, we’ve probably got it. Current topics include PCS, deployment, parenting, finances, solidarity, humor, milspouse experiences, expert advice, and more. And if you don’t find what you’re looking for, you can always join us as a blogger to share your story!
Sometimes the life of the military spouse flows like a gentle creek babbling along peacefully. You find yourself with content children, your service member isn’t deployed and is engaged at home, you’ve been sticking to your family budget, and the cat hasn’t thrown up on the carpet once this week.
Things are a-flowin’ quite nicely.
Unfortunately, life is rarely so smooth.

The orders come telling you it’s time to move…again. Your heart fills with anxiety and anticipation, all at once. So much to do to get ready! So much to pack! How in the world did we accumulate so much stuff? Your mind is spinning with a to-do list that keeps growing with each new thought and idea.
How will I get it all done?
But wait! There is one very important item to add to your agenda—your child.
Spring is here in San Diego—well, at least it feels that way! Which means so is spring cleaning. Although the winter months and holidays are a very fun time of year, they can get expensive; you may have found yourself putting a little too much on the credit card or over-stretching your budget a tad. So as you throw out your old holiday decorations, don’t forget to clean up and straighten your finances as well.
