Today I have a guest post from Heather of HometoHeather.com. Heather has written about decorating small spaces with her living room makeover, and I knew military families (and others) could relate, so I asked her to write a post here. What really inspired me was what Heather did with the reading corner she made in… read more »

Today I’m offering some PCSing tips to help you make a better impression on your new neighbors. 1. Be aware of your… read more »
PCSing by the Numbers
2011
-3 days since DH had a meeting and was told nothing. The subject of the meeting had nothing to do with the fact that he needs orders soon. -4 months until the cadets commission and DH’s job is essentially done since he’s not slated to be there next year. -6 months until they tear this… read more »
Does EFMP Really Work?
2011
I guess we’re about to find out. My husband will be teaching through the school year. His orders go just a bit beyond that, but really, they’ll want to get someone new in and get them on the ball before the fall semester starts. It’s January. The kids graduate in May. I know that’s five… read more »
Getting Antsy to PCS
2010
Am I the only military spouse who actually gets antsy to move after about 2 1/2 years? Even before we came back to active duty, we moved a lot due to family growth and job changes. The longest I’ve lived in one dwelling since I left home is a little over 4 years. Now we’re… read more »

I noticed for some weird reason there’s no garbage can or recycle bin on their side of the driveway. I guess they had some last minute garbage when… read more »
Military Logic
2009
So we moved into this house about six months ago. Since then it’s been back and forth on whether we’re moving into new housing or not while they tear these down and make way for new houses. They’ve already torn down and are in the process of rebuilding the block across from ours to the… read more »
Get It Together
2008
I feel so disorganized since we moved. My “office” was right by the front door and I had an area for all those school papers and such. Now in this house, located in what locals call “Smurf Village,” there just isn’t room for the computer and its desk downstairs. For 2009, I’ve decided to get… read more »
Dishwashers
2008
So I was happy to find when we looked at the house that it had a dishwasher since most of these don’t. I’m steadily finding out why they’re dubbed “Smurf Houses” every day. We have a portable in this one. Did anyone else not know they still made those? I thought those were gone with… read more »
It’s a Small (Blogging) World
2008
Ok, how many heads did I plant that never ending song into? It truly is though. I came across another blogger that grew up in the same area of PA I did. We shared the same horrific elementary field trip memories LOL. I learned of her blog on MomDot.com. Zach had a good first day… read more »
