On the blog today, we share the budget-friendly fun day we had at Irvine Spectrum Center. Check out what we did, and the holiday events happening at this shining beacon off the 5 and 405 on the blog today - link in bio. . . #milmomadventures #irvine #irvinespectrum #familyadventure #familyday #socal #socalmom #socalblogger #militarymom #milspouse #milspo #budgeting #budgetplanner #thepreschoolertookthephoto

There are hardships with military life, and there are also amazing benefits. Getting to live and explore across the country and the Globe is one of them. When living on the east coast we caught a Space A flight from Norfolk Virginia to Rota SPAIN and took a Spanish vacation 💃🏻🇪🇸We did not have to pay for flights and we got to ride inside of a super cool military cargo aircraft. Both were once in a lifetime experiences. We had them because we are a military family. We embrace the unknowns and try to make the most of this adventurous life. Sometimes it is learning our own strength during a deployment. Other times it is being on leave and International travel. We are GRATEFUL for this life and the opportunities to learn, grow, and adventure 🤩 . . . Check out what fellow Pro MILSO's tips have to share about gratitude in the military lifestyle too! @airmantomom @bravecrate @movingwiththemilitary @mrsnavymama @seatoseawithlove @soldierswifecrazylife @theseasonedspouse @thewaitingwarrior @threelittleferns @upliftinganchor . . #milmomadventures #gratitude #thankful #militarylife #militaryfamily #marinefamily #navyfamily #armyfamily #airforcefamily #coastguardlife #milspouse #travel #familygoals
The Marine Corps Ball is an evening of celebration, but also reflection. During every Marine Corps ball there is a moment of discussion of the empty table. The meaning behind the Missing Man table: The white tablecloth draped over the table represents the purity of their response to our country’s call to arms. The empty chair depicts an unknown face, representing no specific Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine, but all who are not here with us. The black napkin stands for the emptiness these warriors have left in the hearts of their families and friends. A Purple Heart medal can be pinned to the napkin. The single red rose reminds us of their families and loved ones. The red ribbon represents the love of our country, which inspired them to answer the nation’s call. The yellow candle and its yellow ribbon symbolize the everlasting hope for a joyous reunion with those yet accounted for. The slices of lemon on the bread plate remind us of their bitter fate. The salt upon the bread plate represent the tears of their families. The wine glass, turned upside down, reminds us that our distinguished comrades cannot be with us to drink a toast or join in the festivities of the evening. The dog tags are blank but could read the name of anyone. If you made it this far, thank you for reading❤️ Please take a moment to pause and reflect on those military members who never made it home or are missing.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in SoCal! The perfect time to grab a friend or family and explore amongst the wintry backdrop in flip flops! . . Disneyland has begun their transformation, and twinkling lights are going up at malls across the US! Are you going somewhere for the holiday season? . . Military families- Disneyland offers specially priced military salute tickets and they are good until December 21st! Feel free to explore and enjoy the holiday decorations before the busiest two weeks of the year!
Whichever uniform, whichever campaign, or time in history you served we appreciate your patriotism and service. Thank you. . . . #milmomadventures #thankyouveterans #veteransday #veteransday2019 #thankyouforyourservice #supportthetroops #thankful
