I’ve written about MetLife TRICARE Dental over the past few weeks and our military experience.  I’ve really enjoyed sharing our story and encouraging other military families out there.  It’s a subject that is near and dear to my heart.

I’m so proud to say we were in the military and my husband served his country proudly!  I’m also proud of companies like TRICARE Dental that support our military and offer great care.  If you are military and eligible to apply, please take a moment and check out the MetLife TDP Monthly Premiums chart to get a better idea of coverage.

The MetLife TRICARE Dental Program is making changes to their monthly premium effective February 1, 2015. Premium amounts change annually each year on February 1st.  MetLife TRICARE Dental Program premiums vary based upon a family member(s) military status (Active Duty, Selected Reserve, Individual Ready Reserve and type of enrollment).  With the MetLife TRICARE Dental Program Family members are covered regardless of a sponsor’s change in status to and from active duty.

The TRICARE Dental Program is ideal for military families because it is a convenient and cost-effective way for families to have continuous dental coverage despite changes in life events, geographical locations, or military status.  We are already a month into 2015 and having coverage for your chompers is a big deal y’all.  Especially if you have kids and they start to lose their teeth, get cavities, braces, or have molars removed.  The costs can rack up quickly.  Taking advantage of TRICARE Dental through MetLife will give you peace of mind.  No matter what life events occur this year you and your family will be prepared and taken care of.

The flexible coverage that TRICARE Dental provides is a major plus in my book.  Everyone has changes in life and through this program you aren’t tied down.  After completing the 12-month minimum-enrollment period, enrollment may be continued on a month-to-month basis until an enrollment termination request is made by the sponsor.

Connecting with TRICARE’s Facebook page and signing up for Dental HealthMatters Newsletter are two great ways to stay in the know with TRICARE.

What are you Reading? #Kindle

I got a Kindle for Christmas and I’m LOVING it.  I’ve been reading like a mad woman lately.  I love it.  I forgot how much joy I get from reading.  It’s relaxing and an escape for my mind.  I can float away for a few hours and be in another story.

So, question of the day is….WHAT HAVE YOU READ LATELY AND TELL ME ‘BOUT IT!!!

Give it to me straight girlfriends….GO!

Cccccchhaanges.

Here we are in 2015 with a big bang.  I’ve been slacking on the bloggity blog…but mostly because I’ve had a lot going on.

First off…I put my 2 weeks notice in at my current job (which I love) and have been with almost 8 years now.  It’s such a bittersweet feeling.  I’ve been with this company since before Connor was born, and after he was born, & now he’s going to start KINDERGARTEN in the fall!  Someone hold me.  I was offered a great position from some wonderful people who will allow be to work part-time and also work from home a bit.  I’m so excited!  I’ve never done anything but work 8-5 and now I feel like a weight has been lifted.

Terence and I have talked in the past about me working part-time so I could be present more.  We both didn’t expect an opportunity would come this soon.  So, all of that said I’m excited for this new adventure & the free time it will give me to do things that would normally stress me out.

IE: meal planning, grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, & just the every day normal STUFF that piles up in life.  We are hoping to move a bit closer to T’s job so he won’t be on the road so much.  The goal is to have more family time & less stress.

I praise God he brought this opportunity my way & I know HE has perfect timing for everything!

Super excited to spend more time with this guy:

Over the holidays it’s always fun to get together and catch up with family and friends.  Actually, I can’t believe we are already half way through the month of JANUARY!  Seriously?

A few weeks ago we had a wonderful visit with Terence’s extended family.  We all wined and dined and enjoyed catching up on our daily lives.  We brought desserts and wine to enjoy with everyone & ring in the New Year.

We took a couple of bottles of Brancott Estate Wine and it was SOOOOOO good.  Y’all know I love my wine!  Ha ha!  The  Estate was the first to plant and create the world’s first Marlborough Sauvignon.  Blanc wine—a style that has since changed the course of our country’s wine industry.D7K_8093

The thing I absolutely LOVE about this wine it is 20% lower in calories, but with all the quality and taste, Brancott Estate Flight Song, it tastes great and you can enjoy it with a little less guilt as you start your New Year’s resolutions.  Lord knows I’m always trying to cut calories…it makes it soooo much easier when you find something you enjoy that tastes good too.D7K_8094
Brancott Estate Flight Song wine has 20% fewer calories then similar selections of
Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio.  I have to tell you one of my favorite selections of wine is a Pinot Grigio…and this one did not disappoint.  My wine wasn’t missing a single note of flavor.

With Flight Song, you can still indulge in a glass of wine or two without all the guilt.  After we ate all those desserts, I guess I can feel a little less guilty right?

Whether you are enjoying time with family or a night out with the girls, Brancott Estate Flight Song wine is going to be a hit.  Pair it with your favorite pasta or dessert…because remember it’s okay to indulge sometimes 🙂
