Mothers of Preschoolers
UpClose with Four Military Moms
by Susan Besze Wallace

Each mom’s journey is ever-changing. Add in a dad, or mom, who serves in the military, and you take “adjusting” to a new level. Deployments mean double duty at home and far-reaching fears. Service means moving, transitioning, living fully even though a new chapter of your life is always one stack of paperwork away.

Meet some MOPS moms whose marriages and mothering serve those who serve in the military.
