    Active Living in the US Navy Even Has an IPhone App! DoD Blogger Roundtable

    May 8, 2013 /

    “They have an IPhone App for their program…” Spring seems to be a great time to get started on new workout plans, healthier eating, gardens and more! May is even designated as physical fitness and sports month so it was great timing for the DoD Blogger Roundtable to discuss the US Navy Operational Fitness and Fueling System and some new and better ways to help stay healthy! As a long time advocate for a healthy lifestyle I was very interested in the topic but wanted to make sure that it would be interesting for our followers. Diana Strock, Physical Fitness and Injury Prevention Program Manager said they had “resounding feedback”…

    Military Kids Website Also Helps Parents, Educators

    January 23, 2013 /

    Technology has come a long ways since I was a military-brat PCSing around the world in the 80s and 90s. I didn’t have to deal with year long deployments but I remember Dad being gone for six months at a time for training and schooling. Fast forward a ‘few years’ and I watched my husband head off to Iraq with the Ohio Army National Guard.  I had a few print pamphlets and a couple of Internet articles I could share with teachers that weren’t accustomed to having military-children in their classroom but there wasn’t much more support then that.I am so glad to see our military families getting the support they need! The Defense Department…

    NORAD and ReindeerCam.com

    December 4, 2012 /

    I am constantly reminded how things change through the years.  Computers and Internet have changed communication, from hand written letters of many years ago to nightly Skype conversations with soldiers and children, airman and wives, marines and husbands, sailors and moms, coasties and dads (and any of that mix you can imagine). This Christmas season I am so happy to have our family whole but we are still glued to the computer.  There are two new loves.  (Don’t get me wrong: family is more important then these fun tools.  However, you can certainly take the time to watch these as a family and create memories if you are together!)

    Attainable Goals and the Sky-Blue Hue of Celery

    January 6, 2012 /

    It started as a simple experiment.  My four-year old neighbor was over and she had never done the ‘celery experiment’.  Imagine that!  So I dug in my produce drawer and pulled out two stalks.  We put a piece in each cup and then added food dye to the water.  Red and blue.  We watched them through the day and we saw the change.  We noticed how the celery was drinking the water as the celery turned from green to a shade of the color of its water.  We talked about the importance of drinking and how, yes, even plants drink.  Her eyes were widened at this thought.  Then my mind started spinning…

    The End in Sight? Iraq Withdrawal Continues! DoD Blogger Roundtable

    October 14, 2011 /

    We are finally leaving Iraq… well maybe not… the diplomats are still talking… the troops are left holding their breath. According to current agreements as of December 31st 2011, the 41,000 military personnel in Iraq will have left and the final 22 bases will have been closed or handed over to the Iraqis. Eight years of conflict leaves a lot of material, equipment and trash. We have gone from a high of 505 bases and 165,000 troops to the current levels in a short time but the count down to the end of the mission continues rapidly. One point six million (1.6M) pieces of equipment have been moved from the…

    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…

    How Did I Miss this Great Information Resource? The USAA Educational Foundation

    June 13, 2011 /

    What do you know about the USAA Educational Foundation? I have been a USAA member for over 40 years and have to admit that I knew little about this non profit resource provider! They are totally separate from USAA since USAA donated a one time gift to establish the foundation and have completely separate missions, leadership and absolutely no ties for products or services, etc. With an opportunity to talk to Barbara Gentry, the President and Steve Finley, the Director of the USAA Educational Foundation, I thought I could tell others about another resource for your challenging military lifestyle! I spoke briefly to Barbara about the mission of the education…

    Finding Scholarships

    October 20, 2010 /

    We have 3 adult children, who married 3 adults – all attended colleges – all accumulated debt. When added up, there are 8 degrees and one more on the way. Degrees are worth every penny though! And every penny that you can get in scholarship is FANTASTIC. I went online looking for scholarships and was amazed at the massive amount of information out there. I found a great website that brought the search down to the reasonable: Scholarship Help & Advice. The internet saves time by having an ocean of information available at your fingertips, websites that have been set up to help students and parents get a financial reward…

    I mentioned that we found morels. Boy Howdy did we! Since I have these beauties, I am bound and determined to use them. I researched the Internet for some goodies, and I was not impressed.
