Life Lessons of a Military Wife (overseas in Europe!): Make It From Scratch #58

Life Lessons of a Military Wife (overseas in Europe!)

My goal here is to make your life easier, especially those who are in the unique situation of being a military spouse. Yes...I've been around...but in a good way...and hopefully can share those tips, tricks and shortcuts with you too. I've been on this military bus for over 40 years now. My goals in life are to have a well-run home, few money worries, well adjusted children, money socked away and whatever happiness I can scoop out of life.

About Me

After life as an Army brat, being in the Army myself and marrying a soldier, I can honestly say I have a bucket full of life lessons I can share to help you make your everyday life easier and enlightening. Don't waste your time making unnecessary mistakes and benefit from others who have come before you on your journey through life.

With it being the 1st of April, you'd think I'd have some kind of April Fool's prank to play on you all. Well, I'm not going to do it. I was going to tell you that all these items can be bought somewhere, but that would defeat the point of making things from scratch. I don't know where you folks get your creativity, but there are some real gems here...all made from scratch! Enjoy!
