Direct Energy Shows us How to Say Thanks with New Benefits for Veterans and Active Military

I grew up sorta kinda a Military Brat. Even though my parents divorced when I was young my Dad still made sure to expose me to the Military life and I spent summers in various locales like Germany, Florida, and Virginia. My Dad retired as a Colonel in the United States Army and now works as a civilian in the Inspector Generals Office. When I was visiting him this past November he took me by the base on Veterans Day and showed me his office. I couldn’t help but smile inside as my Dad told me the history of the…

If you follow me on Instagram then you know, I do a little dibbling and dabbling in the home reno/diy/What was I thinking category. Just this summer the hubs and I ripped out one of the randomly placedd cabinets in our kitchen and built a banquette. I was supposed to share this with you guys a long time ago, but I got super busy and well yea we have banquette!! Now that we can seat more than four people comfortably around the dinner table I decided that it would be nice to finally do something that I have been pinning…
