Customer Reviews

Great resource!

This book is a great resource for ideas to keep you organized during a move. I bought it right before we PCS'ed for the third time 2 weeks ago and once again, I was left by myself to move in 7 months pregnant with a 2 year old running around. After reading this book, this was the least stressful move I've had yet! The only thing I would do differently is the make the book an 8x10 so the reference pages in the back are bigger. Other than that, great for any military family!

Help getting through it all

Sometimes you just need another persons point of view and when your better half if half way around the world and you live no where near another military family let alone a base it can be quite overwhelming. I highly recommend this book, if you are facing your first move or you fifteenth move no matter what branch of service you are in.

Moving Help...even for "experienced" military spouse movers!

It's funny how civilians always seem to think that if you are in the military or married to the military, you are naturally organized. Ha! They also think that after you have a few moves under your belt you have it all figured out. Ha! If that were true we wouldn't all have these boxes we keep moving, don't unpack, never make decisions about. I read this book just prior to our 20th move and learned a number of things I hadn't known before (or simply never thought of.) Sandee's book would have also saved us some big furniture purchase mistakes (i.e. that bed headboard that never fit into any bedroom or up the stairs to the bedroom). Read this book and reread it prior to each move!! Kathie Hightower, coauthor of Help! I'm a Military Spouse...I Get a Life Too!

An FM for all Household 6's

We military wives really needed a book like this. A friend of mine has this book and at first glance I knew that I had to have a copy of mine own. Every move that we make, in support of our husband's career, is a new decorating adventure. I myself truly enjoy this - I say this as I am sitting among lots of boxes and am unpacking for the second time in a year. We have a couple of rubbermaid totes full of curtains, organizers and stuff that we may not need in one house but need in the next - so we hang on to it in anticipation of the next move. Thank you Mrs. Payne for your dedication to your husband and nation as a military wife and also for your book that helps other military wives make a house a home, where ever the Armed Forces thinks that needs to be, for their soldier and their children.

Awsome

Finally someone has taken the time to take the guess work out of PCSing. That Military House is full of great tips to prepare and organize for a PCS move. Then, That Military House gets you ready for the dauntless job of unpacking and making a house a home. Also this book provides organization, implementation, and following up techniques that are specific to a military family move; the book provides tips and guidelines for basic home decoration on a military budget. Thank God for this book.
