This post is sponsored by Arrest My Vest. All opinions are honest and my own. National Thank a Police Officer Day is recognized every year on the third Saturday of September.

While law enforcement needs our support and thanks every day of the year, this is a great day to go the extra mile and let local law enforcement know how much you appreciate them. Below are some ways you can easily say "thank you" and show Click for more
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

I know some people aren't fans of Amazon so if that's you then this isn't the post for you and that's okay :) But if you do shop at Amazon, then check out the deals below.

I have been an Amazon Prime member for y-e-a-r-s. I totally LOVE it as it saves me so much time and hassle. Once a year, Amazon has this AH-MAZING sale for almost 48 hours.

A list of Police Week events & experiences
This is a sponsored post from Thin Blue Line USA. All work is honest and my own. My husband and I live pretty close to Washington, DC so that means we try to attend National Police Week every year. As a law enforcement family, it is a way for us to pay our respects to fallen officers and their families from the previous year. It is also a time to come together, as blue family, and show one another support and participate in events and experiences police related. Thousands of officers and their families travel from all across the Nation to attend Police Week during the second week in Click for more
Easy & delicious thin blue line cupcakes
My kids lovelovelove to make sweet treats for the officer in our life (okay, maybe I do a little, too). Not only do we enjoy making yummy treats for my husband, we like making them for the officers in his department, too. Why not spread the love? So, of course, it is fun to make any treat into a thin blue line version like thin blue line cupcakes to show support for law enforcement! These cupcakes were super easy to make! I took one box of Devil's Food Cake Mix (Duncan Hines) and prepared it using the box directions for the chocolate part of the cupcake. Next, I took Classic White Click for more

The War on Cops is Real Signed, A Very Tired Law Enforcement Spouse
"Another officer shot". "Another officer critically injured". It's happening over and over and more frequently. The news and politicians want you to think "things are getting better" but they just aren't. You don't see these officers getting hurt or killed making many news headlines, do you? It's been bad and it's not ending. Law enforcement officers are literally being targeted and most of the nation is silent. Don't tell me the war on cops isn't real- it very much is. And law enforcement families are TIRED of it. What is it going to take for this to end? Have law Click for more
Travel Deals for Law Enforcement Families
This post is brought to you by Heroes Travel. All opinions and words are honest and my own. If you are a law enforcement officer or family, then I don't have to tell you twice that police officers experience high levels of stress and negativity on a regular basis. It is not only healthy to take regular breaks away from the job, it is recommended. Law enforcement officers are susceptible to burnout and one way to avoid this burnout is to take vacations reguarly. And if you are spouse reading this, then you can even let the officer in your life know that there is actual research Click for more
