		<description><![CDATA[Planning for a baby is full of major events, including hearing your baby’s heartbeat for the first time, learning the gender (if you so choose), choosing a name, preparing a nursery, and—yes—registering. OK, so registering may not be a requirement for a newborn, but one way or another there are certain supplies that you have <a href='http://blog-brigade.militaryonesource.mil/2012/05/16/newborn-necessities-a-shopping-list/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Other times, missing items will haunt you for years—like a boot or your mom’s serving platter. Did you misplace it or was it never delivered?

I usually worked out “payment” arrangements with them to support their extra-curricular activities with extra chores, responsibilities, or volunteer activities.

For instance, the checklist you use when you leave the house, baby in tow, shopping list in hand.

So if you would have told me that I was going to become a military spouse I would have thought you had a case of mistaken identity.

		<description><![CDATA[How many of you have had your teenager exclaim something like, “you’re not listening” or “you don’t understand me”? Teenagers can make it hard to want to hear them out, especially when the topic is hard or when tempers are flaring. But, ironically, they need their parents to listen to them more than anyone in <a href='http://blog-brigade.militaryonesource.mil/2012/05/09/talking-to-your-teenager-yes-it-can-be-done/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

I had no moving experience at the time, but I couldn’t help but feel like they were doing it wrong.

		<description><![CDATA[When my children first started playing sports, I was shocked by how serious and agitated adults could be during youth sports. Sometimes the coaches are mad at each other, the umpires are agitated, and the parents are mad at the coaches and the umpires! It’s not always that way, but some days…it’s crazy town.

		<description><![CDATA[In the military community, it is a well known fact that the word “attention” means stop what you’re doing and focus your attention on the person demanding it. Your baby deserves that same level of undivided attention and as you may have discovered, is hardwired to expect it from day one!
