Today was SUCH an AMAZING day!! 🙌🏽💜 I had the absolute honor of sharing my book, my journey, and my heart for military families at for the 5th Annual Operation Military Families Event! 🇺🇸📚

And to make the day even better, I finally got to meet my Instagram friend in person!! Our tables were right across from each other! We had never met face to face, but the connection was instant! Military spouses just get each other, and that bond is something special. If you’re a military spouse and not following her yet, go do that now!! She is amazing!! 🤍

Even as a former military spouse, being surrounded by this community filled me up. The military lifestyle is unlike any other, and the support, understanding, and love within it is so needed.

Overall, today was beyond GOOD…it was INCREDIBLE!! So many wonderful families came out, so many awesome kids stopped by, and my heart is just full!! Thank you to everyone who showed love and support! 💕🇺🇸📚

If you missed me at today’s event but would still love to support, My Daddy is on Deployment is available now and is a heartfelt resource created to help military children navigate the emotions of deployment. Grab your copy today and help a military child feel seen, understood, and supported! 💙✨

I’m Tamika Tinsley. Former military spouse. Mom of four.

I’ve lived the full-time mom life. The working mom life. The deployment life.

And if you’re in that season right now…

I see you.

I see you doing school drop-offs alone.
I see you managing the bills and the breakdowns.
I see you answering “When is Daddy/Mommy coming home?”
I see you staying strong when you’re exhausted.

I see you.

Self-care doesn’t always look like spa days.
Sometimes it looks like sitting in your car before you go inside.

So here’s your reminder:

Take 5.

Take 5 minutes to breathe.
Take 5 minutes to pray.
Take 5 minutes to reset.
Take 5 minutes for YOU.

Because you can’t pour into everyone else if you never pause for yourself.

If no one has told you today — you are doing an incredible job.

I see you. 💛

Okayyyy… I know, I know. I haven’t posted in a minute 👀

But I’m back and I’m serious about getting this book into the hands of the military families who need it most 💙

I didn’t write My Daddy is on Deployment just to say I’m an author. I wrote it because military kids have BIG feelings… and they deserve support, comfort, and understanding while their parent is away.

In honor of my birthday 🎉 you can receive $5.10 off with coupon code 51WON on my website: TamikaT.com

Because helping military families isn’t just business… it’s personal. 🇺🇸💛

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement.
