Household 6 Diva : Army Wife, Busy Mom, Balance Seeker: Military Spouse Blogging Community

Military Spouse Blogging Community

Household 6 Diva is the story of a Modern Military Family.
We are very similar and yet also different from the average American Family.

Like most families, we work on...
-- Learning to communicate better for our marriage.
-- Learning to cook healthy meals and still be frugal with our money.
-- Raising children and planting a garden to teach them where food comes from.
-- Maintaining relationships and building a career while raising a family.

And yet, we are set apart by...
-- Packing up our things and moving every 2-4 years.
-- Coping with multiple deployments - some lasting up to 15 months.
-- Living overseas where everyone speaks a different language.
-- Challenging separations due to training for weeks in between.

In the past year I have been so blessed by the support and encouragement I have received from the International Blogging Community. I want to share this experience with other military families.

I want to give something back to the Blogosphere.

My contribution will be a simple, easy to navigate link-list of Military Spouse Bloggers who are interested in connecting with others, sharing ideas and relating through common experiences.

These families are rich in culture and diversity because they are a cross section of the small towns and big cities of the United States - some even from other countries of the world serving to earn their citizenship.

This will be a place for connections to be made.

By connecting with these Military families, there is a huge opportunity for learning about how average American families uproot themselves and learn to adapt to new cultures and traditions. (Did you know there are military bases in Korea? Japan? Italy?)

Friendships across oceans. Partnerships between professionals.

What sets this community apart?

It is about sharing the stories from this unique Military Spouse Lifestyle.
It is about fostering connections between families - both Military and Civilian.
It is about supporting these families who have a family member defending our freedom.

“With just one percent of our population—our troops—doing 100 percent of the fighting our military families are being tested like never before...” - Michelle Obama during an address to the National Military Family Association’s summit (read the full article here).
