As a child, I want to say that I had a pretty good immune system. As an adult, that hasn’t changed too much. Sure, I’m the victim of seasonal allergies, I have sensitive skin, and I’m lactose intolerant… but, I don’t get sick too often. When I do get sick, usually it doesn’t last too long though there have been some colds that really threw me for a loop. I try not to reach for medicine because I feel that it’s suppressing my immune system rather than working with it. And that’s why I’ve started looking for natural ways to boost my immune system. Having a good immune system can help you avoid contracting many illnesses and common colds, or at least make them last…

I can almost smell the pumpkin spice, hear the leaves crunching beneath my feet, and taste the crisp apples after they’re picked fresh from the tree. Yes, my friends, I am so ready for all things Fall! While this summer hasn’t been particularly hot, there were some days that I would have happily traded summer for winter in a heartbeat. But I really can’t wait for fall to get here. Living in New York, it has become one of my favorite seasons. And today, for freebie Friday, I want to share a free fall coloring pack with you. All total, you get 11 pages of fall themed coloring fun. This pack was created using free clipart from My Cute Graphics so be sure to look…

Well folks, here it is- the final part of how to raise a money savvy kid. I truly hope that you’ve enjoyed this series and that it has been of some use to you. Next week, I will be starting a new series about how to teach your (hopefully) now money savvy kid how to save money. This is such an important thing to learn at any age, I think. But when you can start young, even better. This last part of raising a money savvy kid ties nicely into the new series as it’s all about bank accounts for kids.   Bank accounts are part of managing your money. While you probably don’t want to go out and get a checking account for your…

I have received information and materials from McNeil Nutritionals, LLC the makers of LACTAID®. The opinions stated are my own. This is a sponsored post. Have I ever mentioned that I’m lactose intolerant? I get this from my mom’s side of the family and most of my family members on that side are also lactose intolerant. We think it’s a hereditary thing from being Asian. And it’s actually quite common. Lactose is a type of sugar found in milk. The enzyme lactase is needed to digest this sugar properly. People with a lactose intolerance don’t make enough of this enzyme. Pretty simple, right? But this pretty simple thing can prevent those with lactose intolerance from enjoying a lot of dairy based products. And for me,…

We’re definitely getting into the arrival of Fall (and the early apples at the Farmer’s market). Last week we shared an easy toilet paper stamping apple art project and this week we have another hands-on fun activity. It’s Squeaker’s first time doing anything handprint related with paint, though we’ve done a few handprint projects by tracing. I wasn’t too sure how she’d like it, but once I showed her what to do, she really got into it. Then, of course, she looked at her hands then at me and asked “What did you do?” Still, she had a lot of fun making this handprint and pom pom apple tree. Next time we do this, I’ll have different colored pom poms for variety. This post makes…

Budgeting For a New Baby

When Kyle and I got together, our family was pretty much complete already. Certainly, we did talk about the possibility of having more children but with both of us bring in two children already, we were also content enough with what we had. Squeaker, obviously, had other plans. And quickly we realized our blended family of six, would soon be a blended family of seven. One of the first things that we started talking about was how we were going to afford said new baby. Kyle has a pretty good job, and at the time I was still working part time. But after the baby got here? Well, that was another matter entirely. It might have been two months in when we started talking about…
