Hi, I'm Jen!

As a military spouse of three decades and now the mom of an active duty son, my hope is to support you in your own military life. You’ll find help for your military marriage, deployments, PCS moves, and more!

For families on the move, Girl Scouts is a constant, allowing girls to pick up right where they left off: benefiting from the single best leadership development experience for girls in the world.

The SpouseLink community is a unique space created by AAFMAA to help bridge the distance between family and friends that comes with military life and help military spouses and families stay informed, get support, and be inspired.

Did you know that Tricare covers a breast pump, breastmilk storage bags, lactation sessions, and more? Homefront Pumps can help walk you through the process and get it all delivered to your door.

If you’ve been to the commissary, you’ve seen Family Magazine. Get recipes, coupons, articles, and more!
