Welcome to Milspouse Matters, the podcast dedicated to encouraging military spouses!

I’m your host Jen McDonald, and I was a military spouse for 30 years until my husband’s retirement. We lived all around the world, raised four kids, and dealt with all the challenges and adventures of military life, just like you! I’m also the author of two books for military spouses. Over the years, I came to believe that we military spouses are tough, but we're only stronger together. Whether you’re a new or more seasoned spouse…Whatever life is throwing your way?  Let’s talk about it!

On this episode, I’m talking to Stacy Allsbrook-Huisman, and Amanda Trimillos, who are the co-authors of Seasons of My Military Student: Practical Ideas for Parents and Teachers.

You might remember Stacy and Amanda from Milspouse Matters episode 37, Easing Transitions for Military Kids, and they were so gracious to come back again and talk about helping our military kids through all the changes we’re going through right now. 2020 is such a crazy time and constantly changing, but one thing we know is that the pandemic and ensuing quarantines are impacting our military kids’ education. Whether you’ve just moved, are dealing with virtual schooling while you also work from home, doing a hybrid school where your kids are attending part time, or something else—let’s talk about getting through this time and setting military kids up for success!

They’ve both also recently gone through a PCS move and have school-aged children of their own, so they are right there with you, figuring this all out.
