I sit down to write this on election day in hopes that our country will once again find hope. Right now, I’m feeling rather hopeless about the entire situation. You see, the rhetoric has been “military families matter,” “our soldiers can’t do their jobs without their families behind them,” “we must support the families behind… read more »
Military Spouse Isolation
2011
*This post is inspired by the post I read this morning at Smurfoflauge Cafe. I had too many emotions and didn’t want to throw up in her comments. It’s hard not to feel isolated as a military spouse.

Special Needs Blog Hop – Stress
2010
*Thank you Tammy and Stacie for featuring me this week! Stress. One of those four letter words like laundry and blizzard. Stress has been a constant companion in my life. Honestly, I don’t think I know how to function without a little bit of stress. Maybe that’s why I became an Army wife (detect the… read more »
