Because they knew I have a soft spot for
Are you ready for Christmas? Just kidding. Or maybe not? Some people are wonderful at organizing, list creating, and shopping throughout the year. Others still haven’t started – and may not start for another few weeks! We love you either way. I promise. So, if you haven’t started shopping, or still have some left to
My husband and I were discussing having a larger family. Being that I had my tubes tied due to my high risk pregnancies, we naturally discussed adoption. He said he would prefer to adopt an older kid, instead of a baby, because he would not want to go through all the feeding, cleaning and diaper
Raising a child with learning and attention issues is a journey. And it’s one that’s full of ups and downs, successes and challenges, questions and decisions. But what if your child is struggling and you do not even realize it IS a learning or attention issue?
In the U.S., 1 in 5 children struggles with brain-based
The holiday season is just around the corner, which is really a stressful time of year for many. Especially for those who could be on the verge of losing their home. And while this is, of course, a stressful thing for anyone to go through, having it happen near the holidays can be devastating.

Depending on where you are – your kids have likely been in school for a month or two already. Have they missed any days during that time? How many? Is that even something you think about regularly? When they did miss – you probably did everything you needed to do to ensure that they stayed

There is always so much excitement around the weeks leading up to back to school. We get our shopping lists for supplies, new school clothes, and we start getting ourselves prepared for a new schedule. And even as parents, when our kids go back to school, our schedules change. Do
For 72 years, Smokey Bear has been in our homes and in our schools reminding us that WE can and should prevent forest fires.
It is the time of year when families are out and about, going on hikes, taking summer camping trips, and just all around enjoying the nature around us. But before you
For most of us, grabbing our gear and running out to the car and heading to appointments, play dates, work and daycare are a regular every day thing. When we have little ones, we put them in their car seat and buckle them up without a second thought to whether or not they are in
A few years ago, we almost bought a home. We had our offer approved by the seller & the bank, put a deposit in escrow and were about to close on the house. The woman we were to buy from was attempting a short sale (which is a way to avoid a full foreclosure). But
You know how much we like getting outdoors, so we were excited to assist with sharing the word about National Get Outdoors Day June 11th!
As kids it was easy for us to spend time outdoors – to go barefoot in the grass, play in the mud, explore the wilderness. As we get older we find

Did you know that every 33 seconds a child under 13 is involved in a car crash in the United States? That probably isn’t the first thing you think about when you are hauling
My grandpa has diabetes and my father has prediabetes. Diabetes runs in his family, so much so that his uncle lost a leg and eventually died from being diabetic. When I was pregnant, we had a gestational diabetes scare. Thankfully upon further testing, I came out alright. I used to work as a Senior Case
