Dawn M. Smith is an Army spouse, mom to a high schooler, and a senior Golden Retriever. The dog isn’t the only senior in the house, though. Somehow, Dawn is now considered a senior spouse thanks to her husband’s 20+ years of military service. She’s owned a writing and consulting business for 15 years. The content she writes focuses on military life, real estate, and home topics. Dawn’s family lives in the National Capital Region, and they work on their DC bucket list as much as possible.
