Every summer, my daughter goes to her grandparents for three weeks. One week each month of summer break. Sometimes they stay home and just chill. I mean, come on. They have a great house only 10 minutes from the beach and a pool in their backyard. Can’t ask for a better combination, right? Plus, they…
Staycations are no longer an unusual occurrence. People are doing what they can to save money, but at the same time, have fun too. With prices going up just about everywhere and paychecks staying the same, it may seem disheartening. But there is so much you can do in your own backyard! Literally and figuratively. Here…
Yes, it’s that time of year again. Back to school shopping is in full force. Sale ad’s are out and kids are pouting. My daughter is somewhat happy and unhappy for one specific reason. Her new school requires uniforms. I personally am loving this. Mainly because I won’t have to argue with her each morning…

School is just about out, (if it isn’t already for some of you lucky ones!). So, it is time to think about what you are going to do to have fun with the children! What happened to Summer School? Just Kidding! My kiddo would disown me if I brought that idea up to her! Parks…
We hear all the time of how you should have an emergency kit in case of a natural disaster. You should have a weeks worth of non-perishable foods that you don’t have to cook, in case you don’t have power. You should have X gallons of water per person. This is GREAT information. However, how…
I feel that I know a little about rough mornings. My daughter has ADHD and getting her focused in the morning can be really rough. It got to the point, I started dreading the mornings because I didn’t want to have another fight with her. Have you faced this as well? I’m sure it is…
