Defense Mobile: Supporting a Military-Friendly Business That Supports You
Compensation for this post was provided by Defense Mobile via MSB New Media. All opinions expressed in this piece are my own. When John was deployed, he had no issues with his cell phone company. They worked well with him and, in fact, a day after he returned home, they had his phone line […]
10 Halloween Care Packages
(Cue The Nightmare Before Halloween music!) This is Halloween, this is Halloween! Okay, so it’s not quite Halloween… but the holiday is already on my mind. Pumpkin Spice Lattes are out, it’s cooling down, and for anyone making care packages, it’s time to get ready for the next holiday! My youngest sister is serving a year abroad […]
Protect What’s Yours: 5 Tips for Identity Theft Protection for Military Families
Disclosure: This is a compensated review for LifeLock. I only promote and review products that I truly believe in and think my readers will, too. All opinions (goofy or otherwise) are my own. In February, I received a phone call that changed the way John and I worry about our finances. “Ma’am, we need you to […]
How to Welcome a New Military Spouse
John and I are going to be newlyweds forever. (Well, obviously, according to the calendar, we’re not anymore. But we’re trying to never lose that “new car smell” to our relationship. A good smell– not the stink of sweaty, dirty NWUs.) So even though we don’t want to take each other for granted, or lose […]
Despicable Me Minions Care Package
Tracy is back with a really cute idea for a care package– a minion one! (Who doesn’t love the minions from Despicable Me?!) I am so humbled that Tracy is allowing me to share this adorable care package with you! You might remember Tracy from her Postcard Pillowcase idea. She and her husband, Nick, are […]
Shop, Save, & Support the Wounded Warrior Project Through Believe in Heroes
I’m participating in the 2014 Believe in Heroes® blogger campaign and received compensation as part of the program. While John was deployed to Afghanistan, I thought about his well-being a lot. (Okay, let’s be real. I thought about it constantly.) If you’ve ever had a loved one in harm’s way, you know the gnawing worry […]
See You Later Care Package
I absolutely love sharing care packages from other military spouses and significant others around the world! Meet Jamie, a fellow Navy wife. Jamie and her family currently reside in Spain and are going through a naval deployment. Jamie’s husband is forward deployed which means “he can deploy at a moment’s notice.” Jamie does an awesome job of […]

Make a Postcard Pillowcase
I absolutely loved this idea from Tracy, a fellow military spouse and soon-to-be fellow blogger. Her husband is currently deployed and early on in the deployment, she created a postcard pillow (with a special note) to send to him. Tracy bought a travel-sized pillow (about $5) from Target that fit well inside a large USPS […]
The Best PCS Tip No One Told Me
A few weeks ago, I guest posted for Green Mtn. Girl as she was PCSing to Korea with her husband. It seemed natural to post a disastrous mistake we almost made when we PCSed for the first time… and avoided at the last second, just by luck. Check it out here and give her a […]
