I'm Stacy - an Army wife, and a stay at home mom to my 7 year old Lovebug. I spend my days homeschooling, doing at-home OT, gluten-free cooking, taking photos, reading, blogging, doing fun science projects, going on field trips & managing the home. I also enjoy sewing, scrapbooking & crocheting and need to make more time for those.

I'm passionate about my faith, my family, my friends, foster parenting, adoption (one day!), advocating for special needs, nature, the beach, and CHOCOLATE! More details about me & my family

Don’t Forget! The war is not over!

By Midlife Army Wife, on August 19th, 2010

I’m sure you’ve heard by now that many of the troops are being moved out of Iraq. Please, for the sake of all those that are left, don’t misinterpret this as the war being over. It’s not.
