Adventures of a Military Family of 8
No Anchor Can Hold Us Down...
I recently attended a hosted three day stay in Hershey, Pa. where we got to learn about all the things- new and old! My Family had attended last summer and although it was a very fun day, you don’t always get to learn all about the park when visiting. This time it was different, it was all about the learning, tasting, and doing! New and Fun Things To Do & Eat in HersheyPark- Hershey, Pa.
Last month I was invited to Hershey, Pa. for a #SweetWelcome tour and it was everything! Our Family visited Hershey Pennsylvania last summer when we visited Hershey Park and we have been planning to return this summer as a new yearly tradition. The Town of Hershey in itself was base for Hershey park and that was the extent of my knowledge, until this trip: Hershey, Pa Press Tour- All You Need to See #SweetWelcome
I got to meet seven fun and amazing fellow bloggers on this trip, alongside the amazing staff that greeted us and accompanied us during the entire trip. From the fun car conversations to walking through the theme park to PETTING A BEAR; it was amazing! [Read more…]

The point of the Always Live #LikeAGirl program is to show our girls what they can achieve in their world by helping them stay confident. Always and Walmart are encouraging girls to stay in sports and to persevere through failure—both of which are key confidence boosters. To make this possible, Always and Walmart are working to #EndPeriodPoverty.

A girl’s puberty is a very big time in her life. It can literally make or break an event or situation. Although this is a big moment in their life, most girls go through a lot because of all the new things they are experiencing. One of the things that a young girl experiences with the coming of puberty is the beginning of a lack of confidence. When it came to my two daughters this was something they dealt with as well.

Today I will share with you a few traditions for New Year’s Eve from around the world. Some you may not have ever heard of and may find pretty interesting!
This Christmas I bought every present for our entire Family and friends with savings. Throughout the year, every time I got change from a purchase I put it aside. I never looked at it, never counted it, and I really hoped it would be enough. I decided to do things a little different for the new year, a little more structure and accountability. This is why I created these Three Different Versions of the 52 Week Money Challenge Printable.
Take a look at our Star Wars Ultimate Gift Guide and Free Printable Gift Tags. It is packed full of great gift ideas for all those Star Wars fanatics in your life. If you have a hard time choosing just one, make a Star Wars gift basket and pack it full of goodies. You can even use this Star Wars Storage Bin as the basket. After you have crammed it full, wrap it with clear cellophane so all of the gifts are visible even before they unwrap the gift.
Every Holiday season I say that I will be fully prepared for the next, no more last minute loss of ideas. Every year I am running around last minute looking for last minute Hostess gifts. Let’s not forget that one thing we are missing but don’t know what it is yet. That’s me in a nutshell. This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com and as a result I received the cutest package for review. I hope you enjoy reading Eat Drink Celebrate Repeat This Holiday Season with Babble Boxx #EDCRepeatBboxx
I’m happy this year our annual Holiday Gift Guide will be a little different. These changes came because we wanted to do some good. We were very selective with the items we added to our gift guide. The toys we accepted will be going to some very special and well deserving children. Children from our local Military Family support group. These children, as well as my own, have spent Christmases without a Parent due to being Deployed during the Holidays. Needless to say, we set the bar extremely high with what we wanted to recommend and gift to these children. I was besides myself when Jakks Pacific toys offered to send us items for The Perfect Holiday Gift Ideas for Every Disney Princess.
There weren’t many traditions around Christmas time while I was growing up, we had Christmas Eve tamales and woke up on Christmas morning with excitement. I always dreamed of having so many traditions and celebrations once I had children of my own, then reality hit. My Husband was deployed more often than not. If he wasn’t on a deployment far away, he was on a work-up trip preparing for deployments and that meant he was gone for weeks at a time. His Military career never gave us an opportunity to settle down and have some set traditions, so we did things as we could. Having premature babies with heart monitors also made for selective outings around people. These were all reasons why we were never able to see Santa every year. It took many years but we finally have one: Visiting Santa- It’s Never Too Late for a Great Tradition!
