    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…

    Care Package Ideas

    December 28, 2010 /

    Find more Care Package Ideas and muchmore from MilitaryAvenue on Pinterest I really enjoyed a blog post from the DoD’s Family Matters blog and wanted to be sure to share it with you. These are some great ideas for a wife, daughter, sister, friend that is deployed but you can always take the thought and apply it to your loved-one. [Like I’m thinking if I sent my husband curtains and a comforter he would have been more ‘annoyed’ then appreciative… but maybe that’s just my hubs ;)] The following are some care package items I found especially awesome while I was deployed:– A stack of 11×17 landscape prints from a…

    Supporting our military families this Christmas Season

    September 10, 2009 /

    I just read about a wonderful program from a company called ‘Christmas Decor‘ that I wanted to share. It is hard to be thinking about the Christmas season … a few months away when we haven’t even bought our Halloween candy for the year. However, Christmas Decor has a *wonderful* program for our military-families. The lights of the holidays brighten a world where families are separated by war and hostilities. The homes we light for a soldier’s family always seem to sparkle more and shine brighter. The Decorated Family Program of Christmas Decor has been bringing light into the lives of many families throughout the United States. To us and…

    Trunk ‘n Treat

    October 27, 2008 /

    Friday was a fun time for my boys. Exactly a week before Halloween and they got their first taste of this year’s Halloween Candy. MMMMM…. Sugar… Our local MOPS chapter organized a Trunk ‘n Treat in the church parking lot. If you are looking for a fun & safe alternative or addition to the traditional Trick -or- Treat this is the up and coming thing :). All of the families parked their cars in two rows with the trunks facing in. Then the children could go from trunk to trunk, car to car, and pick out some candy. Since most of the moms were escorting their children, the candy was…

    Brace yourself Mom… It’s Science Fair time!

    January 18, 2008 /

    Science Fair: Those words were the scariest words spoken by the children at the supper table. A hush fell over the room. Dale would mysteriously get a phone call to send him into the other room. Appetites were quashed. Those words work better than Slim Fast! Lamely I would say, “Oh, this is going to be fun.” No one bought it. I was talking to some Moms who are facing the science fair time of year, as if taxes aren’t enough… but at least with tax time, there is tax help for free on Base. However, with science fair you are on your own. The project has to be interesting,…
