Think back to when you were a little girl. I think I was in 3rd or 4th grade when "the talk" happened. The boys were sent to the gym and the girls were sent to the cafeteria. The boys spent the afternoon in the gym playing basketball. We spent the afternoon learning about puberty, more specifically periods. Then we were sent home with a little purple box with a few big bulky maxi pads. And that was it. Until you actually got your period. Back in the 80s periods were not a topic of ...

A More Restful Night’s Sleep
I have a king size bed. Before I had Peyton I swore that I would not have a family bed. I swore that my child would sleep in her own bed. That philosophy lasted all of 5 seconds once Peyton was born.

Have a Massage Nearly Anywhere
I never knew you could have so many back issues, until I became a parent. Between working long hours at a desk, typing away all day and caring for a small, there are days my neck and shoulders at screaming. But is it realistic to get daily massages? Nope. There is no time for it and it's financially unrealistic. So what's an alternative? Home massagers. I've tried a few different brands of home massagers and I can honestly say the Naturalico Shiatsu Massager is unlike any of the other massagers ...
Could a Landline Be Your Lifeline?
Having a cell phone and a landline can become pretty costly. I have been contemplating, for a few months, if I should get rid of our landline to save a few dollars. But then I sat back and started to think about it and weigh out the pros and cons. Keep reading to see why I am keeping my landline. Picture this: It's the end of July—smack in the middle of summer.
