National Thank a Police Officer Day is always the third Saturday of September each year. This year you can show your support for law enforcement on Saturday, September 16th, 2023. And Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (also known as L.E.A.D.) is on January 9th every year. If you are a law enforcement family then you, without a doubt, show your support all year long.

How to thank a police officer (with a FREE police printable)
Thank you to Thin Blue Line USA for sponsoring this post. All opinions and work are my own. Showing appreciation toward law enforcement is needed now more than ever. And taking the time to thank a police officer doesn't have to be big or grand, a simple thank you goes a long way. Obviously, I show a ton of love and admiration to my husband in law enforcement all of the time, but there are certain times of the year that I want to extend my gratitude for other officer's, as well. Our officer's need constant, daily reminders that we support them. We need to flood them with praise, Click for more

How to Stay a Positive Police Spouse when it Feels like the World is Against Police Officers
In all my years as a police wife (13 to be exact), I have never struggled and seen other police spouses struggle as much as we are this year. We know support for law enforcement exists, but some days all we see or feel are those who are against police. It can feel like everyone hates them when in reality the bad people and horrible events are just drowning out the good. During such challenging times, I think a few things are important to remember. First, we have to focus on what we can control. If we are letting the negativity of the world control us and our emotions then we are Click for more

With my husband's schedule often being opposite of mine, it has always been a little hard to get quality time together. Add 3 kids to the mix and it just became harder. It left us with no other choice than to PLAN time together as best as we could so that we could make Click for more
3 ways to pray for your officer this Christmas
The holidays can really be a difficult time for so many first responders. While it is a joyous time of year for so many other people, law enforcement are unfortunately seeing the sad and bad sides of people. When they come home after a long shift, of course we want them to make holiday memories with us and participate in holiday events, especially if we have little ones. As a law enforcement family, it can be easy to forget that our officers still need that time to decompress. They may be struggling on the inside but not wanting to share in order to keep the joy of Christmas alive. And Click for more
