    Sometimes It’s Most Important To Prioritize Your Own Wellbeing   We put the needs of others ahead of our own way too often. We know you’re sitting there saying that your children should come first, and you’re right. Most of the time, your children should always come first, but there are times when you need to put yourself first. You are a mother, but you are also a person, which means you need time to yourself and sometimes time away from your kids. This isn’t something to feel bad about; you just need to rest up so you can give your best again. In this article, we’ll talk about some…

    You Wouldn’t Leave Your Cats Unattended, So Why Forget Your Home When You Travel?

    05/20 /1 Comment

    As well as focusing on what you’ll get up to on your trip itself, vacation planning should cater to every aspect of your time away, including what happens back home when you aren’t around. For cat owners or similar, this is a no-brainer. Yet, even for people without pets, thinking about what’s going to happen to your home could end up being crucial.   Image Source: CC0 License   Whether you’re away for one week or longer, leaving your home without thought is certainly never going to serve you well. In fact, you could return to such a nightmare by doing this that you vow never to go away again.…

    Have Baby, Will Travel

    05/09 /No Comments

    Traveling with a baby doesn’t have to be intimidating—especially when you plan ahead. For our second cross-country trip to California, my son was just six months old, and we made the most of it by learning the ins and outs of flying with an infant. Here’s how it went and what I learned along the way. After doing a ton of research, I found that most U.S. airlines allow children under two to fly free as a lap infant (no separate seat required). That saved us a chunk of change, and luckily our flight wasn’t full, so they let me bring his FAA-approved car seat on board anyway. (Tip: Look…

    Not Broken, Life After Abuse

    04/28 /3 Comments

    See the kid in the picture? That is me, just a child who didn’t have a voice, or so she thought. I can’t remember when it started but I do remember when it ended. I was 14 years old, and in the biggest 14-year-old voice I could muster, I threatened the man who had sexually abused me. I told him if he ever touched me again I would kill him. I didn’t know how, but I would.   Two days later, he dropped dead of a heart attack.   I mourned his death because even though he was abusive, I did love him. He was my grandfather and I still…
