    Halloween on a Budget

    September 27, 2011 /

    Autumn has begun and with that come thoughts of beautiful shades of leaves, pumpkins, apple picking and more.  Many families begin to decorate their home with the season’s decor.  It is so much fun to walk the aisles of our local Target or eXchange to see the latest Halloween decorations; lighted jack-o’-lanterns,  black cats, funny graveyard markers, skeleton-bones and zombies everywhere.  It is fun to look at but a family on a budget needs to do more looking then putting in their cart! How do you save this time of year?  I have a few suggestions.  To start with, I love the change of season.  I love to decorate the house as we…

    Its Friday – A Focus on the Military Family with Key Spouses and the Caring for People Forum in the Headlines!

    September 23, 2011 /

    Focusing on the military family! Yes, they deserve and earn it every day! Lt Gen Darrell D JonesIt is Friday! Yeah! Most of us look forward to it.  For us it means a weekend is almost here! Time off, relaxation, family time, church and projects.  Unless you are deployed, tdy, in basic training or other training when it means tomorrow is Saturday.  I do like this > FFF, Family Focus Friday. Being a military person I am used to acronyms like FRSA, A&FRC, MWR, AGS, MXS, etc. and most of you are too. They almost replace what they stand for at times during conversation. I think the military must have…

    Caring For Families is an Air Force Way of Life

    September 22, 2011 /

    Military life has a heart, a voice, and brains galore!  Family presence, once a background nuance has been raised to the top level of prominence.  Communication is the lifeline in this forceful body: in shape, in motion and in communion with all levels, ranks and backgrounds.  Every branch of service has it’s unique concept for hosting this life line: the Navy has the Ombudsmen and the Army has the FRSA.  The Air Force has their own new program: Key Spouses.Programs come together, and on paper are workable.  Then… when real people enter and dedication, love of country, zeal for esprit de corps, Key Spouses zoom… Off the Key Spouses go…

    Keeping It Simple – How to deposit money with USAA

    September 20, 2011 /

    I am a fairly simple girl.  I love my family.  I love my God.  I love my country.  Dinner shouldn’t take me much longer then 30 minutes to make.  Homework tools should be kept in the same place every night.  Junk mail, old school papers, finished newspapers should go right into the recycler.  Rooms should be picked up and toys put back in their place each night.  Banking shouldn’t be complicated. Banking.  Even taking the time to deposit money via the drive through is on the not so simple ways to do things list for me.   I can remember being fresh out of college, receiving sporadic checks and depositing them via USAA Deposit by Mail.  Sure, it…

    Helping a Veteran!

    September 19, 2011 /

    The Big Dead Tree … respecting the flag they fought under… The weather is getting a bit cooler, the days shorter, school has started and Fall is upon us! Veteran’s Day is fast approaching … The MilitaryAvenue team is busy preparing for Veteran’s Day with helpful articles, blogs, another Giveaway opportunity, recognizing veteran support organizations and much more during the almost two months preceding November 11th. Then I thought about how I had so much to be thankful for as a veteran. A loving wife (who moved 18 times and will celebrate a 40th anniversary in the spring) and family, a great support team of family/friends, veteran benefits, a church…

    Flat Daddy

    September 16, 2011 /

    My husband crashed a party. First of all he made his way to a big Kissinger Family party.  His original RSVP said he wouldn’t be able to make it because of a prior commitment (something about serving in the Army National Guard in Iraq).  So weren’t we surprised when he showed up! Can you find our very own Flat Daddy Kocsis? He visited the ladies room. (You really have to watch this guy!) He helped the local law enforcement keep the rowdy Kissingers in check. He even “helped” the hotel staff.  (He didn’t quite have the customer service skills they were looking for though.) Then he crashed it…  a wedding happening at the…
