Military families are busy, sometimes busier than other families. There’s the normal day-to-day life demands (laundry, housework, errands) and then there’s the military life demands (checking the LES, waiting in line at the gate, waiting in line at the pharmacy – which seems endless, figuring out who to talk to in which department for a specific answer to a specific question). This doesn’t leave much time to sit around and scour your favorite sites looking for new content. The Military Families newsletter solves this problem! It’s a short and sweet newsletter sent directly to your inbox outlining what’s new on the BellaOnline Military Families site and where exactly to find it.

Weekly newsletters will describe the latest articles; additions to the site; related book, movie, and product reviews; hot topics being discussed in the Military Families forum; upcoming chats with the Editor or special guests and answers to your frequently asked questions. I will also be sharing outside links to information for military members and their families and articles of interest from other news sources. Freebies or military discounts and specials will show up frequently as well!

As a military wife, I know what type of information you are looking for and I know that you want it from a dependable military-related source. I know what it’s like to be a new spouse floundering about trying to find all the answers. I know what it’s like to be a “seasoned” spouse that sometimes needs a little reminder or support. The Military Families site is a place to go for advice, information, validation and a shoulder to cry on if you need it! The site itself includes information about each branch of service, basic general information, military support ideas, deployment information, event notifications, reviews, and more. You can expect these same topics in your updates.

Signing up for the newsletter is quick and simple. Look to the right or end of this article for the free newsletter sign-up box. Put in your e-mail address. Carefully check the spelling before you submit, so you can be sure to get your newsletters! If at any time you are having trouble receiving the newsletters, e-mail me so I can work with you to keep you updated.

When you give BellaOnline your e-mail address, it is kept private and will not be shared with myself or anyone else on the site. Your IP address is tracked for your protection in case someone else tries to sign you up for newsletters you don’t want! BellaOnline does not sell e-mail addresses to outside sources. You will receive nothing but the Military Families site newsletter.

Immediately after you sign-up you will be sent a test newsletter. Please check to make sure you receive this message. Some e-mail providers may view newsletters as junk mail or catch them in spam filters. You may also need to change your settings to accept messages in HTML format. I will sometimes include pictures in the newsletters, so you will have to unblock the content to see them. Feel free to e-mail me to confirm your receipt or with any questions and suggestions on my contact form.
