.“This post was sponsored by Nature Made® as a part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central.” A balanced, healthy diet is usually the best way to meet all of your dietary and nutritional needs. But, let’s face it, as a work at home mom; I’m not always great with following a balanced diet. Most days I count myself lucky if I can eat three meals a day and maybe have  a few healthy-ish snacks. However, most days usually start with coffee and I don’t eat breakfast until 10. Unless I have yoga in the morning at the gym. In which case I do try to eat before 8. That’s why I wanted to talk to my doctor about taking vitamins and supplements to make…

While I was never formally diagnosed with an anxiety issue, it is something that affects me. I have had panic attacks in the past and I do experience feelings of anxiety. My mental health issues stem from clinical depression and an undiagnosed body dysmorphic disorder. I have been on medication in the past but I wanted to try and beat it without medication. So far so good. But how do I deal with the every day anxiety? For that matter, are there any best ways for moms to deal with anxiety? While I may have talked about anxiety in children and anxiety in autistic children in the past; today I want to focus on moms. Now, what gives me anxiety may not give you anxiety….

“This post was sponsored by WaterWipes as part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.” When you have kids with a significant age gap, parenting changes. Having your first child in your teens and you last child in your late 20s will do that to you, apparently. Or at least that I’ve found. Having two children with special needs and one who is developing typically; also gives you a different perspective. Squeaker is my last child. That has been decided and she will remain the youngest in our family of 7. Knowing that she’s the last and youngest, has also helped me to appreciate the first year…

Squeaker was supposed to be a Christmas baby. And by that, I mean her due-date was actually December 23rd. She chose to make her arrival a little bit early by coming on December 5th instead. Last year, 2015, however was the first year that she was really introduced to the concept of Santa Claus. As you can see here, she really wasn’t impressed: This year, we are making more of an effort to introduce the idea of Santa Claus as a part of exploring Christmas. I’m also trying to be proactive about balancing Christmas and learning about various traditions around the world. I don’t want Santa Claus to be the primary focus of our Christmas celebration and traditions. But I also want Squeaker to understand…

I’ve been reading a lot about how plugins increase your load time. And with Google constantly changing and making updates to their algorithm, this is important to understand as a blogger. Now, let’s also be real here: sometimes trying to understand the Google updates is like trying to read a foreign language. Unless you understand all of that tech talk? Well, it can be downright confusing. So instead of trying to figure it out from Google, I look for other places that can explain it to me. Websites like Moz, Neil Patel, and SEMrush. Much easier to understand and process. And in turn, I can apply that better. With page load time, in particular on mobile, becoming increasingly more important; I want to reduce the…

Star Wars is an epic series of movies created by George Lucas. In addition to the movies, it has generated comics, toys, books – and of course, LEGO sets! These are among the most popular sets in the LEGO line. The sets sometimes depict a certain spacecraft – and other times emulate a certain scene from one of the movies. They come from all of the movies, not just a few. In addition to the vehicles and environments you can build, you’ll also get a variety of Star Wars characters – from Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker – and even some of the less significant characters. Some fans like to build the exact replicas using the instruction manuals that come with these sets, while others…
