  • Crazy Horse

    South Dakota is steeped in history, it’s one of the main reasons I chose to take the kids here for MEA break. After visiting Mount Rushmore  we headed over to Crazy Horse.

How to Restart Your Career When You’ve Raised Kids

While you’ve been spending years raising children and investing all of your very best into them, they’re going to get increasingly independent as the years go by. Sooner or later, you might find that you have a bit more time on your hands - perhaps they started school a while ago and are old enough to look after themselves for a few hours, or maybe they have grown out of all the supervision a long time ago. Nonetheless, it’s a great idea to refocus a bit and start to work on a ...
