Helping Moms Survive Parenthood...One Post at a Time
Since we moved into our home, I've been very lax about decorating, especially on the walls. There are still some bare walls in the house - even though we've owned them for almost 7 years! It's sad really, but it was just never a priority for us. Now that we have begun our family, I want to hang more personal items. We like modern art and beautiful scenes, but family photos and related decor is … [Read more...]

One tradition we have is putting up the Christmas tree and holiday decor. In my family, we used to put it up on Thanksgiving evening. James and I have … [Read more...]
On Facebook, several of my family members and friends have been saying what they are thankful for each day, and they plan to continue to do so throughout November. I always fail at remember to do daily things like that, so I decided to put all of my thanks in one post...and to publish it today, on Thanksgiving! So, here are my 30 things I am thankful for... 1. My husband. Cliche, I know, but he … [Read more...]
Most people have health insurance so that they can get assistance with paying for medical bills as they arise. However, it's also important that you practice preventative measures to keep you and your family away from the hospital or doctor's office in the first place!
