This week, I'm loving a book series that I highly recommend. But only read this if you are 18+ and are comfortable reading very steamy adult scenes.

You will be confused, emotional, and completely enveloped by the story and characters of The Ravenhood Trilogy from Kate Stewart. Flock is the first book, then Exodus, and finally The Finish Line.

I'm not lying when I say that you'll be thinking about the book and the characters long after you've finished reading them.

And to dive even further you can listen to this Spotify Playlist that the author put together to go along with the book. They are such a good combo together.

Once you read the books be sure to connect with me on Instagram because I need to talk to others about these books!

Who is ready for a vacation? After the last couple years I'm pretty sure most people are.

We were so excited to come to England so we could travel and after lockdowns the last two years, thankfully things are more open and we've finally been able to travel more.

This episode is going to walk you through how to make those trips more of an event, share it with others in your community, and do things that will cement those vacation moments into your memory forever.

Listen in before you go on your next trip!

It's PCS season (that means a lot of military families will be moving over the next few months) and with that a lot of goodbyes are going to be said. This week's podcast is going to walk you through several ways to make saying those goodbyes a lot easier. I'm talking about marking off those bucket list items, making plans with friends to stay in touch, and how to make saying goodbye easier for your kids too.

I hope you get some value out of the episode and share it with another military family you know that may be moving this year.
