I received a complimentary copy of this book to facilitate my post and review. I was not required to leave a positive review and the opinion given herein is 100% mine alone. We’ve established previously that parenting is tough. There is no guide, there is no manual. You aren’t handed a “How-to Parent” guide in the hospital. And you can read as many books on parenting as you’d like- and you still may not have all the answers. That’s just how it is. As a parent of special needs kids, there have been times that I was on the brink of losing hope. That I questioned the light at the end of the tunnel. I wondered, some nights, if there was ever going to be…

All opinions are 100% mine.” Did you know that drowning is the #1 cause of injury related deaths in children under the age of 4? That’s a pretty scary, but very real, thing to think about.

We have been incredibly fortunate in the time that we’ve lived here, but it was also an important reminder to us. Our home is already secure from a safety standpoint to combat Sweet B’s tendencies to wander. But what other steps can we take? How else can we safely secure our home? Granted, we can’t prevent everything but we can certainly do our best to be prepared. A majority of us that reside in the United States are worried about leaving home while…

While I would love to say that we’re on top of meal and menu planning… we’re not. This is an area that I want to focus on though because I think it would go a long way in terms of staying within our family budget.

It would also help when we go shopping and hopefully cut down on the number of trips that we make to the grocery store once we start  meal planning and prepping.  5 Overall Benefits of Meal Planning Eat Healthier Planning your family meals will cut down on your trips to your favorite fast food restaurant and…

Doctors, educators, and experts in childcare believe modern changing lifestyles have a negative effect on the health and well-being of children. Children and youth spend a lot of time indoors using electronic equipment like computers, playstations, mobile phones, watching their favorite programs on TV, or playing with the numerous toys and gadgets available…
