    What did we do before the slow-cooker?

    March 21, 2007 /

    This afternoon while I put together lunch for my toddler & preschooler I started “cooking” dinner, meaning throwing together food in the slow cooker. Tonight it is lasagna. So now I can go through the rest of my afternoon not having to give dinner a second thought. You have no idea what peace of mind that brings me! In fact, I can’t imagine that I will have a bad afternoon having that off of my chest. The hardest hour in this house is from about 3:30pm to 5:00pm. (Sadly it’s more then an hour.) I don’t know why but if there is going to be a breakdown (by myself or…

    Kudos

    March 12, 2007 /

    Have you visited a business lately that just made you feel good? One of the hardest parts about PCSing is getting acquainted with the new area and everything that it has to offer. That is something that MilitaryAvenue.com aims to help with. If you get to know your community you will feel settled before orders come again. Here is a great opportunity to give a ‘shout out’ for a local-business that gives exemplary service. What did they do that made them stand-out? What installation are they near? Think of it as a recommendation to a friend. Someone might be moving into your area looking for a ______ (you can fill…

    Making Something Old New Again…

    March 10, 2007 /

    Today I inherited my in-law’s living room furniture, specifically a sofa and love seat. I was very excited at the possibilities that lie ahead of me. First thing I did was trek off to Target to purchase some slip-covers. I was going to have brand spanking new furniture this way! Why would I invest in brand new furniture when I can put slip-covers on them for pennies on the dollar? I found the color and style I wanted and brought them home. Little did I know I was going to making this same trip a couple times today. You know I put the covers on – and it looked like…

    Got Junk?

    March 8, 2007 /

    Recently my mother-in-law brought over a box of things from my husband’s closet; his child-hood closet; the closet in the bedroom that he lived in for 20+ years; the bedroom that still has posters up in it from his late teens. Apparently, she’s trying to clean it out a little and thought we would like items that he hasn’t used in about 10 years (and quite frankly didn’t even remember he had). I go to my parents’ house and there are 2 guest-bedrooms, in a house I have never lived in. In fact, their last four or five houses I have never lived in. There is hardly a ‘closet full…

    It’s Snowing… Again…

    March 7, 2007 /

    I LOVE the snow any time between November and January. My boys and I can be out there for hours sledding, making snow-angels and -men, and just having a great time. But come February it starts to get really old. Well, it’s March 7 and we got 2 inches of snow this morning on top of what we got yesterday. My husband came home after a long day at work and the first words out of my mouth were: “Take them before I eat them.” (The old adage about spiders eating their young kept rattling around in my mind.) The kids are starting to get cabin fever and I’m starting…

    Sending out a lifeline

    March 6, 2007 /

    “Help!” Those can be hard words to say, but we all need it at one time or another. I was at a recent MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) meeting and a panel of seasoned-mothers answered our questions and gave us tips in handling day-to-day challenges, some were simple: “How do you help your four year old learn to blow his nose?” and some much more challenging, “How do you handle your emotions, sad or angry, in front of your kids?” We want to be your “panel”. What kind of military-family tips and help are you looking for? What would like to see addressed in a future letter? Not only will we…

    A quick 6 hour drive

    March 5, 2007 /

    I had the pleasure of visiting my parents this weekend with my three sons. It was a ‘quick six hour drive’ but well worth the time to spend with my family. My brothers, their wives and my nephew all drove in and we had a wonderful weekend. They all live in the same area – within 45 minutes of each other and when I come out they always make a special point to visit. How blessed I am. I remember it being the same way when I was a child. We would go up to see my grandparents in Indiana, coming as far away as Florida or Nevada or as…
