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!
Through the MyCAA program, eligible military spouses can receive up to $4,000 to further their education. After determining whether or not you qualify, you need to find out what you can actually do with these funds. So what studies or programs are actually covered by MyCAA?
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
