Let Kids Be Kids!!!

Let Kids Be Kids!!!

If you can, think back to your younger years, maybe when you were grade school age, or even younger if you can. What were you like? Did you have fears and worries and doubts or anxiety?? Kids can be cruel. Let’s face it, adults can be cruel too. The world isn’t by any means a perfect place, it’s far from it. But as a parent, you want to try to instill good morals and selflessness...

SAVE AND INVEST FOR YOUR FUTURE

SAVE AND INVEST FOR YOUR FUTURE

  SAVE AND INVEST FOR YOUR FUTURE. Today, I saw that the average family in the U.S.A. makes almost $54,000 per year. They have saved an average of $3,800. That is shocking to me. It’s obvious that Americans have greater concerns in front of them. As a direct result of the great recession starting in 2007, many people are worse off today. If people were forced to save money at an early a... Read More »

Teething Snacks

Let’s face it, no one enjoys the teething process. When a child is teething, it is rough on everyone! Every time Hadley went through a teething phase, I felt like a waitress at a bad restaurant. I was constantly making different meals, only for her to send them back with an attitude.
