Resources for Military Kids
My husband and I raised four children in the military life, going through deployments, moves across the world, and changing everything familiar every couple of years. We also homeschooled for many years. Our children are all young adults now, and I’m also the mom of a military member and the grandmommy to the cutest little “military brat!”
Military kids are so awesome! I’m sharing some of my favorite resources with you as you raise your own precious military children.
