Lindsey Anderson
Lindsey Anderson is a writer, military spouse, and mom to three children (born in 2018, 2019, and 2023). Before having kids, she worked as a newspaper reporter, but now she embraces the role of a stay-at-home mom, navigating the challenges of military life. In the summer of 2024, Lindsey and her family made the move to New Mexico. It’s the third state her two oldest have called home—the seventh house for one and the fourth school for another! Amid the moves and solo parenting stints, Lindsey is dedicated to raising resilient, kind, and open-hearted “military brats.” When they’re not diving into new friendships and activities, you’ll find Lindsey, her husband, and their kids working their way through their extensive New Mexico bucket list.
