Travel
Traveling with your entire family can be tons of fun and extremely rewarding as a parent. However, traveling also involves a fair bit of waiting: for your flight, in traffic jams, before dinner reservations, etc. This is especially true during the holiday season when thousands of families are trekking to see loved ones around the world.

Military Life
Thanksgiving can be a big nightmare for military families in every way. It can bring emotional, mental and physical stress due to the erratic work schedules, deployment, and separations. I certainly can tell you from experience as I have lived through many already! Therefore, Thanksgiving for military families can be quite different from how the average American celebrates the holiday. …
Food
I love baking for my family – it’s a busy house, where we live, so baking does help me relax and unwind. Especially since I know that the food – blueberry oat cheesecake in this case – I’m preparing will bring a smile on my little babies’ faces. However, I do tend to not use sugar too much in our …

Military Life, Parenthood, Travel
I looked over towards the right at that empty suitcase and then glanced towards the left where the crapload of clean laundry was still in the basket. Then behind the laundry was the toys and toiletries scattered all over the floor. I rolled my eyes and had a sudden feeling of dread come over me. How the hell was I …
Parenthood
With a preschooler in our family, I was on a parent meeting the other day trying to prepare for a fundraiser for the school. It was a daunting task trying to get 20 parents to decide on a single idea. Why? Every time you turn around it seems like your kid is participating in one event after another at school. …
