    A Little Bar of Soap and Our Values

    March 8, 2012 /

    We are a country of generations, framed by them, marked by music we loved as teenagers, wars fought in each and of course, TV programs that we enjoyed. Each marks a different view of life and values in many ways as well. We find causes, issues that make us get involved and each is based on when we grew up.   Breast cancer awareness, the environment, Vietnam, the housing crisis, each mark a generation most involved or responsive to their cause or issues.  New issues and causes can appear for each generation at any time and I have found a new one to write about today.    Frequently generations disagree on…

    For the Health of It

    March 7, 2012 /

    I just ran across a video that I had to share with you.  It is about 9 minutes long but it is going to suck you in.  Go ahead watch it.  I’ll be right here waiting: Wow! Half an hour of walking a day has all that health-benefit?!  This isn’t really rocket-science, folks.  In fact, to make it personal I struggled with gestational diabetes while pregnant with my youngest son.  The food didn’t impact my sugar-levels as much as the exercise.  It was all about getting up and burning the sugar. If I didn’t get up and /move/ around every couple of hours (notice I didn’t say lace up my running shoes, put on…

    Cutting Military Benefits – How Far Can We Go to Protect Them

    March 5, 2012 /

    Being part of the military community is like being a piece of meat in a sandwich!  The President is Commander in Chief and proposes the defense budget but Congress must approve it.  In the meantime the military community is caught in the middle of these “discussions”. We can be part of this political discourse but are extremely limited by law while on active duty.  How far can a military family member or retiree go during discussions about military “stuff”.  Budgets, strategies, deployments, Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), etc come to mind.  We try to be as politically neutral as possible with MilitaryAvenue’s articles, blogs, tweets and pins.  But this one…

    Organizing The Road Trip

    March 5, 2012 /

    The Road Trip.  Part of the Great American Military-Family Experience, right?  We do it to PCS across the country.  We do it to visit family and friends who we moved away from so many years ago, a visit home.  We do it to for some R&R, to get out and see parts of the country so many American families will never see.  The Road Trip, it is part of the ‘American Military Family’ definition. So how do you prepare for such a great part of your experience as a military-family?  I recently ran across some great posts that I thought I would share with you.  Whether you will be travelling…

    Praying for My Children

    March 4, 2012 /

    Praying for our children, it is one of the most important things that I feel a mother can do for their sons and daughters.    Sometimes though I’m at a loss of words, a jumble of thought, even a perceived lack of time.  However, I ran across this printable 31 Biblical Virtues to Pray for Your Children that has added new life to my prayer life. Source: keepingitpersonal.com via Leanne on PinterestI printed off this very nicely done list of biblically based virtues which we want our children to grow into and foster.  Then I placed it on my frig right above our water dispenser at eye level.  31 Virtues, 31 Days in the month, heaven…

    Troopons – Coupons for Troops

    March 2, 2012 /

    Have you heard of Troopons?  This is a great opportunity for those of us that live CONUS to support our fellow military-families that are overseas.  All you do is clip coupons that you won’t need, or send coupons that are about to expire to this small-business and they will send them to those that can use them. “Commissaries located in foreign overseas areas accept coupons up to six months after the expiration date stated on a coupon.” – Do commissaries accept coupons?  Troopons is an easy way to help extend the dollar to those military-families that can use it.  What a fantastic idea! There are certain restrictions, for instance Troopons can’t accept food stamps or…

    Three Veterans in the Same Room

    March 1, 2012 /

    US Marines DoD PhotoOur country has a problem with military service.  Less than 1% of our population is physically and mentally capable of serving in the armed forces!    An interesting statistic but it does not hit home to most Americans. Then we find after serving so many can not find employment. Finding those who have successfully transitioned is always a great story. Last night during a medical test at the University of Michigan Cancer Center, it was surprising to find three veterans in the same room and two of them were employed there as technicians! One an Army retiree, served 26 years; the second, a former Marine (well always…
