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 ...

One of my fondest memories growing up was the vacation my grandparents took me on to Sea World. I was about 6 years old and it was my first time to a park with sea animals. Oh boy was I excited!

Is Your Child in the Right Car Seat?
Since I brought Peyton home from the hospital we've gone through 5 different car seats/booster seats. Choosing the car seat that fits with your child, car and lifestyle can be overwhelming. It's a big decision. One I've had to make 5 times because I didn't take the time to research and think about my child and/or size of my car. Unless you plan on walking, a lot, your child needs a car seat from the time you walk out of the hospital until they are at least 7 years old. And, by law, most ...
