A divorce can be a blessing in disguise. Here are some dating tips for divorced men or women as to when to start dating after divorce.

Choosing Love: Dating Tips for Divorced Men or Women

Wise men say only fools rush in – Elvis. Some will say that one of the best song lyrics for relationships is “All you need is love” from the Beatles. I would argue that while yes, love is definitely important; you need more than that for a relationship to truly thrive and survive. You need patience, understanding, respect, humor, growth, humility… I could go on. There is so much more to a relationship than love. And, unfortunately, sometimes it really isn’t enough. When a marriage breaks down and a divorce happens, sometimes you may think that it’s the end and love will never find you again. Or you may be so bitter from the divorce that you rule out love and relationships all together. While…

Figuring out the best autism treatment options can be one of the most overwhelming things following an autism diagnosis.

Treatment Options for Children with Autism

Perhaps one of the more overwhelming things after receiving Sweet B’s diagnosis, was figuring out the best possible ways to help her. At the time, she was already receiving special education services, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy at home. But, it was also evident that she needed more support. As her mom, of course, I felt that I was more than qualified to help her in whatever way possible but I also realized that I was limited in my abilities. That’s not to say that I couldn’t have learned or that I couldn’t have prepared the type of environment that she needed. But what she needed was also beyond my own ability to provide. So it was at that time that I started…

Monthly Blog and Personal Goals: February 2016

Monthly Blog and Personal Goals: February 2016

I may have mentioned before that I am a goal oriented person. I like setting goals and I think they keep far more on task then setting something like a resolution. Sometimes I may have issues with achieving my goals, especially if I’m not breaking them up into actionable steps. This is also something that I’m working on in terms of self improvement and time management. It’s all about steps and breaking things up for me because the more I can plan, the better of I am… most of the time. Now if I could just apply all of that to blogging, I might be good to go! January was an okay month for me on the blog front. I managed to rebrand, mostly with…

Migraine headaches suck. Here are a few ways to find relief for migraine headaches.

How to Deal with Migraine Headaches

“I created this post as part of a campaign by Teva Pharmaceuticals. I received an American Express gift card for participating.” Migraines suck. There’s really no way around it. And if you suffer from migraine headaches, then you know what I’m talking about- right? They’re disabling, disrupting, and so much more than just a headache. Often, the moment you see those auras (or whatever else your warning sign might be), you know. You’re down and out for the day. Whatever plans you may have had, will be put on hold. Or you could try to power through it, when we all know that it isn’t likely to happen. Sure, we’ll put on a brave face and make do because it’s what we do. But are…

Looking to fuel your weekend activities? Start your day with this eggtastic, protein packed weekend breakfast bake.

Eggtastic Weekend Breakfast Bake

On the weekends, I love recipes that can serve as both breakfast and brunch. Sometimes I get the chance to sleep in on the weekend so having a handy brunch recipe is always nice. But even on those weekend mornings where I can’t sleep in (which is more often than not) I still enjoy having a hearty and filling breakfast that will keep me going throughout the day. Because of this, I like to have recipes on hand that have eggs and at least once a month, I make this eggtastic weekend breakfast bake. Sometimes I’ll make it during the week as it does reheat well. This particular breakfast bake is also loaded with sausage, spinach, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and cheese. You could certainly…
