The Military Momma

Hello! I'm R but you can call me the Military Momma. I've been married to J for over three years and we have one beautiful baby, Ellie. I have had quite a few ups and downs - long distance dating, long distance marriage, pregnancy loss, first time motherhood, navigating a partner's deployment and return, buying a house, etc. .- and hope that by sharing my experiences, I can answer questions and provide some comfort to those who read my posts.

Have questions? Want to talk about your own experience? Think I should add or change something? Please reach out! We are all part of the military and momma community.
