One of the most important parts of supporting your service member as they serve our country is “holding down the fort” (See also: running a smooth, loving, and supportive home life for you and your family, while keeping all things going in your service member’s absence).

With this category, we cover everything behind the scenes, such as organization, communication, marriage, parenting, overcoming trials, and just some good ole fashioned humor.
Join us as we embark on figuring out the home-life balance as a milspouse and find ways to thrive and excel! No matter what your life at home looks like, one of our Experience Bloggers or Command Team members has probably been in a similar situation and is here to share their triumphs, lessons, and laughs along the way.

Let’s talk for a minute about Memorial Day as observed in the United States.
I’m the one who is always happy, always seeing the bright side. I’m not annoyingly cheerful, but I’m generally that friend that you turn to, even when you’re having a really rotten day, that can always make you smile.
