Domestic Commando is for SAHMs and SAHDs (really, can't we come up with a less depressing term? Domestic Commando is so much better than SAHD) who want to enlist and take charge of their stay-at-home parenting decision. I like to serve up helpful tips (Tactical Ops), easy recipes, family preparedness info, and an occasional side of attitude. Whether you're home for a few weeks or a few years, stop by for a positive perspective that's a little bit old school, a little bit new school (sometimes I wish I'd homeschooled), occasionally crunchy and always efficiently self-reliant.
