Is Your Heater Making You Sick?

This is a sponsored post, and I will be compensated. However, this does not sway my opinion in any way. Maintaining your home’s heating and cooling systems is not only practical for your budget but could also be important for your health. For those in the Nashville area, check out Halo Heating and Cooling for your energy needs. Here’s one example of a home safety checklist and another great infographic about installing smoke detectors in strategic parts of your home.

Eggtastic Breakfast Recipes

I have ambitions of raising my own chickens when we finally move out of Albany. We’ll still be in the capital district, just in an area where it’s okay to raise chickens.

That means that no matter which NestFresh Eggs you choose, you can be sure that the hens that laid your eggs had room to roam around large barns. Not only that, but our hens are also free to jump on perches, run…

I read Bible verses to her while I was still pregnant and she enjoys hearing Jesus Loves Me as one of her nighttime songs. I also knew that it would eventually come time to start getting a Bible that was appropriate for her. And though I do have a book of Bible stories, I was lacking any sort of Bible that was more kid-friendly (something that I hope to remedy soon). So, I thought why not start adventures in the Bible? I felt that was something that we could grow with and I also feel that reading is an every day adventure within itself. The Adventure Bible…

The New American Dream

This post is part of the New American Dream Blog Tour which I am delighted to be a part of along with hundreds of inspiring bloggers. To learn more and join us, Click Here Growing up I had apple pie in the sky kind of dreams- a mansion, with a wildly successful career, family, and all of my dream cars. A big, fancy American dream. Now, as an adult, I still have dreams of the future- just a little more realistic and down to earth. A new American dream. As Kyle has said: “I’d rather live paycheck to paycheck and not be in debt, than live a life of dreams and owe the world,”. But why can’t both be possible? To me, being successful means…
