Wow...the summer flew by this year. Well, it did for me. One of the highlights of my summer was a trip to the beautiful Hawks Cay resort in Duck Key, Florida. This island getaway has everything a person could want, plus they offer military members and first responders special rates starting this month. To support the military, they are even giving away a vacation for a family of four. You can find out all about the resort and the giveaway in the article Hawks Cay Resort Honors America's Heroes.
The end of summer means the return to school. This month we have a great line-up of back-to-school articles. Check out the cute notes you can pack in the kids' lunchboxes in Put a Little Love in Your Child's Lunchbox. Don't miss the exclusive Macaroni Kid promo code that will save you 20%.

Finally, I am so happy to have Judy Davis as a guest writer this month. Judy is better known as the Direction Diva and has the honor of being Fort Carson's Military Spouse of the Year for the past two years. Judy has shared with us her helpful hints for steering clear of the Mama Drama in 3 Steps to Ending Drama and Improving Your Life.
Until next month,
