Web Site for Kids

Rachel writes for parenting magazines as well as web sites for children and parents.

DeploymentKids.com was created especially for military children who are going through a loved one's deployment. You'll find a time zone and distance calculator, games, cards, hero certificates, information about deployment locations, and much more!
