One thing that's usually certain
about military life is that you will move at some point! Today, I
have SO much information to share with you, and I really hope you
will get something out of it, whether it’s your first move or
tenth!
Having been through 13 moves as a military family, I'm sharing practical tips for your PCS move, sprinkled with some funny stories and wise advice from other military spouses and listeners.
We’re talking about prepping for a move, moving with kids of all ages, moving with pets, moving overseas, and even some thoughts about when it seems like all your friends are moving but you’re stuck.
