Dreaming About Construction

When we bought this house about 5 years ago, I thought it would be the perfect house for us. The perfect home for us to grow with. We would start out with a 3 bedroom apartment, one for the kids, one master bedroom, and one office/guest room. The kids were younger then, and I figured […]

CBD Oil For Heaves In Horses

I find alternative medicine fascinating, especially ones that are scientifically backed, like herbal medicine, and CBD and medical cannabis are a special interest of mine. One thing I’ve learned, though, is that cannabis is absolutely poisonous to dogs. So imagine my surprise to learn that CBD oil is used for some animals- specifically horses- medicinally. […]

What No One Tells You About Divorce

My parents are divorced. Both sets of my grandparents are divorced. I have quite a few divorced friends. And yet, as someone going through divorce (yes, still going through, this is taking a while…), I realized that until I went through this myself, I had no idea what it was like. There’s so many things […]

Why I Abhor Multi Level Marketing Schemes and “Businesses”

Please excuse my hastily put together image. Yes, its someone putting money in the trash, because, at best, thats what MLMs are. Today I want to talk to you about a topic that is near and dear to me. A topic that hits home for me, very much. A topic that is misunderstood by many. […]

You’re Never Too Old To Chase A Dream

Free Lambs Heads and What I Did With Them

This post contains graphic pictures of lambs heads. You have been warned. Don’t read on if you will get grossed out by pictures. I recently had a conversation with someone about veganism, or rather, why I have no plans on ever being a vegan. I’ve written about it here before on my blog, but while […]

What It’s Like Having a Dog, Two Years Later

This summer was 2 years from when we brought our dog, Snickers, home. Getting her, while something I’ve wanted my whole life, was a more or less “split second” decision. One day I’m talking with my son Lee about getting a dog, the next day I talked with my therapist about whether or not it […]

Don’t Buy These Baby Items Second Hand

I’m a big fan of shopping second hand, especially when it comes to items you won’t be using for very long. But as this contributor shares in their important peice, for some items, you do not want to be shopping second hand. This is especially true for your fragile newborn infant. Here’s more. Here’s to […]

Celebrating Milestones, Corona Style

I was going to start this blog post writing about what the hardest part of life during corona, but as I was writing it I realized that it would be kinda silly to write what is the hardest because there are just so many challenging parts about this time period and picking just one is a […]

7 Reasons Why You Should Let A Tutor Teach Math To Your Children

I’ve been a math tutor. I’ve been homeschooled math so I got taught one on one. I had a tutor when I was learning a particularly hard portion of math. And having been with all that, I can tell you just how different math with a tutor is than math in a classroom. If your […]
