Ever since I was a little girl it was apparent that all I wanted to be was a mother, I decided that until I was lucky enough to become one I would do the next best thing, I’d become a Nanny. While studying for my diploma I was introduced to something called Infant Massage, this was something I’d never heard of before but I was intrigued, even though I was learning on a plastic doll. I felt rather silly talking to this doll and trying to connect to it through my studies, but I was curious to see how these...

“Infertility” Written by Fran Meadows
“Infertility” is a word that most couples don’t want to hear, but today it is more common than you know. It is devastating and puts a strain on couples emotionally and financially. It is a roller coaster ride and most people don’t even know how they got on it. It hits you hard like you ran high speed into a brick wall. Most couples try for years before they even know something might be wrong. They are often in denial; thinking things like, “This can’t be happening to us?” Or, “Why are they pregnant and we’re not?” And, “Why is...

DOES $$ GIVE YOU A HEADACHE? Written by Kimlai Yingling
The word FRUGAL is a label that has been stitched to me since I can remember. My mother (first generation Vietnamese) has engrained it in my brain….as long as you owe money-you don’t have money and if you can pay rent then you can pay a mortgage. It’s extremely black and white. Don’t spend what you don’t have. Having money, saving money, and spending money seem to be very difficult for many people. Being financially responsible definitely takes some discipline. You have to constantly ask yourself: •DO I NEED IT? •DO I WANT IT? •WILL I DIE IF I DON’T...
My Personal Survival Guide To Traveling With Kids… Written by Susan Jarvis Moody
It’s back to school time for most kids, but if you have preschoolers, Fall is a great time to take advantage of cooler temperatures, lower rates, and less crowded tourist destinations. We live between 500-1,000 miles away from both sets of grandparents, so air travel began for our children, Alex (now 6) and Harper (now 3) at about 12 weeks old. While both are now experienced travelers, as they can take off their shoes and fill their own bin at airport security, they are not immune from some travel related meltdowns and mishaps. Here are some of my survival strategies....
