Hershey’s Better Basket Blog Hop
Hershey's is giving back to the community this Easter season by making a donation to The Children's Miracle Network. For each of these blog posts giving virtual baskets to our friends, Hershey's will donate $10 up to $5,000. Let's help them reach that goal.
I'm going to hit up some of my fellow milspouses for this one. I think they all deserve an Easter basket of their own, even if virtual. Hey ladies, at least these ones won't tempt you with goodies you may be avoiding right now, right?

From Rhea at Mommy to Three Monkeys:
If you’ve been here at all, you will know that my sweet infant cousin, Penelope was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. She has spent the last 3 weeks in Rady Children’s Hospital here in San Diego. She has a private insurance policy that will only cover 60% of her very expensive treatments.
This weekend, we are having a fund raising auction.
Please visit Pennies4Penny.com beginning Friday morning (6am) to have your chance to bid and win on some amazing products. The outpouring of love and support for this little girl has just ...

Kids Are NOT Being Kids
Have you heard the phrase "Kids will be kids," from your child's school? Has it made you want to smack some sense into someone? I just read for the second time this month about a child being bullied at school. I'm tired of these schools saying they have a zero tolerance policy, and yet if you say something about your child being bullied, it's "kids being kids." Which is it? Do you have zero tolerance, or do you want zero responsibility?
EVERY year since my son started school he has been seen by his peers as different and has subsequently been ...
A Need for Dye Free Medications
Thank you McNeil Corp. You screwed me. I love you for that. Can you feel the love in the form of my cursing your existence and Motrin recall? Your junior strength Motrin in the orange flavor is the ONLY chewable tablet OTC pain reliever I've found for my son that does NOT contain red dye. Even the generics use red+yellow dye to make orange. Now due to your massive recall, we're Motrinless.
Sure you have your dye free liquid, but two things. One, have you seen how thick that liquid is? It makes me gag just looking at it. And second, ...
Army Fun Facts
These are based upon my experiences as an Army spouse. My experience falls as a traditional Army National Guard spouse and now as an Active Guard/Reserve spouse (AGR) with a combined total of 10 years.
-We ALL pay for our dental health coverage. Even soldiers. We pay soldier only, or it's based on soldier and number of dependents up to a certain number. After that cut off number it's the same premium no matter how many kids you have.
-The dental coverage really isn't bad.
-Tricare, our health care system, is good IF you ONLY need routine care.
-You may or may not know ...
It’s that time of year again where I beg shamelessly a couple times for my son Zach for donations for Jump Rope for Heart. He looks forward to raising money for the American Heart Association every year through this program at his school, and of course we fully support this interest. We’re no strangers to heart issues in our families. My husband and I have both experienced a loved one with heart problems. I know there are a lot of honorable charities out there, but if you would like to donate to the American Heart Association, please visit Zach’s personal page. Donations will be accepted until February 7, 2010. Then I will need to print out the form showing his online donations to take to school.![[Bloglines]](http://confessionsfromhh6.com/wp-content/plugins/bookmarkify/bloglines.png)

My daughter does this every year at school too! We are no strangers to heart issues as well – on both sides of our family, there are serious concerns. I worry about my kids’ health when they get to our age.
