Well, it’s official! I was asked to be a featured blogger for Military Spouse Magazine’s web site and my first post posted today.

There may even be a possibility of doing some reserve/NG columns in the late fall…
So that’s where I need your help! (Click Keep Reading to.. um, keep reading!

Congrats, Sara! What a great platform for WoF!

Went by to read your post. Great intro! I look forward to reading more on their site as well as yours.
