Going back to school each Fall always requires some training. As parents we prepare for making lunches and having any easy system to get out the door each day.

Being a military spouse has so many sides to it. We all live different lives with our spouses, in different jobs and different branches. We all adjust to the changes differently, but there are a few common threads that tie us all together.

Lack of sleep is also another common thread that binds us together, this can be crippling for you and your children.

Unfortunately though, summer in Florida also means we are surrounded by mosquitos and other biting insects that can put a damper on our good time.
