    “Mondays in My Garden”: Four Easy Ways to Save Money when starting your Garden

    March 11, 2013 /

    There are a few blogs that I just love. Household 6 Diva is one of them.  Ann Marie is a down to earth Army spouse recently relocated from Germany to Texas and there are so many times that I think, “Wow, would we be good friends if our lives had ever crossed.” She started a series called “Mondays in My Garden”.  Be sure to read her inaugural post here: Welcome to “Mondays in My Garden” Ah… my garden.  Just the thought of it has my heart smiling. Yesterday it was 72 degrees out in NE Ohio.  The back door was open all day.  The front door was filled with sunshine.  Smiles, laughs, giggles…

    Pinterest and the Military Family

    January 25, 2012 /

    Hours … I have lost hours to Pinterest.  But maybe lost isn’t the right word because Yes! I have successfully re-created some of the great ideas I have found.  Dinner has become more exciting, I’ve discovered the many uses of vinegar, and it has helped me on my quest to keep “2012 the year of Organization.” I also created some resources that you, the military family, might find useful.  There is a sea of information out there and this is a great way to keep it organized.  Find what you like, pin it to your own board and you’ll have it when you need it (or have time to read it!)

    USAA’s iPad Application – Be informed!

    January 28, 2011 /

    When we are informed we make better decisions.That is what USAA’s iPad application is all about! I have had the privilege of previewing their banking app for the iPad and I have to say I am mighty impressed. It just suits me. It is clean. It is organized. It makes me feel like I am in control. That is important when it comes to finances! I love the look of the Insurance Policy pages. Like a small library of policies. Pick a book. Open it up. Before you lies everything you need to know about your auto insurance policy, or your home-policy, or your life insurance. All at your fingertips,…

    Big, Red, Bouncy Ball

    July 12, 2010 /

    *C*, 5 years old learned something today. The power of a saved-dollar. He doesn’t get an allowance yet. (We started his older brother on an allowance at 1st grade). We don’t pay for household chores. My thought is no-one pays me to make dinner, why should I pay them to put away their laundry and get the table set before dinner? Household chores are just part of being a family! So at this point in the game if he has money in his wallet it isn’t from Mom. Stepping up the plate is Grandma. You have to love Grandmas! Especially the ones my boys have. Twice a week my mother-in-law…

    Earth Day – Making Army Boots More Friendly for Our Environment – DoD Roundtable

    April 25, 2010 /

    Earth Day – Making Army Boots More Friendly for Our Environment It was a beautiful day in Michigan on Earth Day this year! Sunny, 70 degrees, the Redbuds were out in full bloom, the air was fresh, grass was green, we have vegetables in the garden coming up and I was talking to Mr. Tad Davis, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Environment, Safety and Occupational Health. We were discussing the Army’s Earth Day activities and their “Army Go Green Initiatives”. We were meeting with the DoD Bloggers Roundtable while he was visiting Ft Bragg and he explained that he had just left Butler Elementary School after meeting with…

    A Breath of Fresh, Unhurried Air

    March 9, 2009 /

    I almost didn’t go this morning. I have felt *very* overwhelmed the last 10 days and the thought of sitting around with friends and fellow-moms at a MOPS meeting wasn’t appealing. After all, it is Monday. I lost an hour of time this weekend (thanks to Daylight Savings Time). Getting the boys out of bed, dressed, lunches packed and the kindergartner on the bus was a little tougher than usual this morning. Plus, I have had a few job responsibilities shifted onto my plate while my fellow bloggers are on a well deserved vacation… and to top it all of my *Hubby* returned back to the sand-box about 10 days…
