    If you’re anything like me, you are definitely not taking an entire Sunday to chop and prep your food for the week. No matter how hard I try, I know it just isn’t going to happen.

    What does this have to do with military marriage? I find that taking things off your plate, like meal prep or planning, opens up so much more space you can dedicate to your marriage and your family so it is a win-win

     

    In this episode, Heather and I explore:

    • -What is food insecurity and how Heather is creating a much-needed change for our community
