Flu Prevention and Treatment – DoD Roundtable Discussion

The Power of Reading
I’ve written a couple of times about the power of a book! When hubs was deployed we got a few books through the “United Through Reading” program sponsored by the USO.

In fact, my boys enjoyed the books so immensely that I ordered a few Scholastic books through their school and included them in ‘care packages’ to Hubs. He could then make his own books-on-DVD to send back to…

Planning for the Holidays – Programs that support you, the military family
Last year at this time our family was in the midst of our first deployment. Thanksgiving wasn’t giving me the usual warm and fuzzy vibes I get. Christmas was all but on the back burner.

I just ran across two great programs though that are perfect for the holidays. I wanted to be sure to share them with you.
