Should Old Acquaintances Be Forgot? Heck Not!

I love Robert Burns. (The link is to a blog I wrote about another Robert Burns poem I love.) I don’t know if I ever knew that he was noted for writing Auld Lang Syne, which always seemed to be a confusing song to me. Catchy tune but a confusing song if you don’t stop…

The great housing debate

There are a million and one things that you have to think about during a PCS, but the biggest thing that remains at the forefront of everything is where you are going to live. The talk of housing can send any military spouse into a tailspin. Where is the house going to be? How big…

Housing can be a nightmare too though- especially if you are e4 and below and/or have no kids

I think we all have our share of housing horror stories. For me, the pros always seem to outweigh the cons. It doesn’t matter what the house is, because we always somehow make it feel just right and cozy…i.e. home.

Lessons Learned

        One of the things that I enjoy most as an Army Wife Network team member is helping spouses with their questions. Answering what our team calls “field problems” is something Tara and I started doing from the get-go, before Army Wife Network was even conceived. It remains one of my primary tasks today. If…

You’re beautiful, whether you like it or not.

My father wasn’t an active participant in my life, well, ever.  From as far back as I could remember, he battled drugs and lost time and time again.  He didn’t make much of a positive impact on my life.  One of the few things I learned from him is how to be cold and keep…

If more woman/girls had you as a friend there would be less hurt in the world. Too many young girls grow up believing they aren’t amazing then it goes into their adult life. Then you have gorgeous people(example..you) who are just beautiful and they can’t accept that everyone sees them that way. Thank you for making this blog <3.

I would like a job at “expert smartass” – I think I am qualified.

I had tears in my eyes reading that, but when I read what she said about you @[791714795:2048:Tara O'Connor Crooks], I couldn’t agree more. It does not matter what a camera portrays, you are an amazingly beautiful person!! Don’t ever lose track of that. I love you woman!!!

Real Life “Stars”

Celebrities. They are mesmerizing in many ways. For some reason we have found ourselves worshipping those who are either in influential positions or who are entertainers. This isn’t something new. All it takes is one quick search of fans at an Elvis or Beatles concert to see how Bieber-fever is nothing new. Teens for decades…
