A Salute to the Military Family

A Salute to the Military Family

I’ve long held a deep respect and gratitude for our military and their service to our country even before becoming a military spouse. Our service members are willing to lay their lives on the line so that others don’t have to experience how war touches their lives. Since joining the ranks of military spouse several years ago, I’ve also grown to greatly appreciate the sacrifices of the families of our service members as well.

November is Military Family Appreciation Month, as declared in a proclamation signed each year by the president as a way of honoring and celebrating military families and recognizing their sacrifices and dedication to our nation.

AWTR Show 580: Stop Child Abuse

Elizabeth Peace is here to discuss how military families can help stop child abuse in their own homes and communities. Elizabeth is a published author, communications director for Congress, and a former TV news anchor and journalist. A survivor of child sexual abuse and the mother of a survivor, Elizabeth is passionate about using her story to inspire others to overcome their trials, and she spends her time teaching parents, educators, and city officials how to prevent child sex abuse. She’s the founder of Pledge to Prevent, a partnership with city officials to commit to ending child sexual abuse in their cities. She has met with Hunter Biden and other prominent figures to prevent abuse on a national level and is actively working to enact legislation that would make sex crimes committed against children punishable with prison time instead of probation.

What I Hope They Remember

Like 99.9% of military families, we live far (very far, in fact) away from our extended family.

When we got orders last summer, my mom even remarked, “I feel like you’re moving half a world away.” Truthfully, it does feel like that, especially during the summer. In the summer, our schedules aren’t as busy, our days are less rigid, and it’s then that I find myself wishing we lived closer to family. Well, then and those two days in March when I’m throwing two birthday parties back to back.

How to Stay Connected Despite the Distance

How to Stay Connected Despite the Distance

Little hands find deployments and the strain of distance as difficult to grasp as adult hands. Many times, children don’t always comprehend the why or reasoning behind a loved one being away.

My duty and privileges as a step-mother are to provide assurance, protection, support, and love for little hands. My husband had two children prior to our marriage; a step-daughter who is 9 and step-son who is 4.

4 Tips for Quality Photos

I’m going to let you in on a little secret that many photographers don’t want to admit: the quality of the camera you use has little to do with making a beautiful image. Don’t get me wrong—a quality camera will serve you well. But, there are so many more factors involved in the production of a stunning photo. Don’t worry! It’s easier than you think to take a quality photo with whatever device you already have.
