In honor of Military Spouse Appreciation Day, would you take a second to click on the button and give us a thumbs up? We’ve been nominated as one of the Top 25 Military Family Blogs and I would appreciate you helping us get there! I married a committed military man. And I have loved this […]

I have No Mom Talk Monday scheduled to go up tomorrow morning first thing…but because of the significance of this event in American History, I want to make sure that I document and remember (for the sake of my son and any future children) the emotions that I’m feeling right now as I sit here […]
