    What To Do If You Need To Hire A Lawyer

    05/06 /No Comments

    The majority of people go through their lives assuming that they’ll never really need to hire a lawyer. After all, when you follow the law and are cautious in your day-to-day life, it often seems like something that happens to other people, rather than yourself.   However, the truth is that there are many scenarios when hiring a lawyer is necessary (even if you’ve not done anything wrong yourself). For example, you could be involved in a car accident or get injured at work; both of which are scenarios when having a legal professional on hand can prove useful.   Photo by Giammarco Boscaro on Unsplash   With that in…

    Embracing “Jam Girl Summer”: Sourdough, Sunlight & Slowing Down

    05/05 /No Comments

    The Season of Slower Living Has Arrived! Jam Girl Summer isn’t just a trend—it’s a soft rebellion. In a world that rewards hustle and hyper-productivity, this gentle movement calls us to pause, breathe deeply, and return to the simple pleasures that make life feel full. Think cottagecore meets homemade joy: garden dirt under your nails, the scent of sourdough rising in the kitchen, and laughter over clinking mason jars at a backyard “jam-boree.” This summer, we’re choosing slow, intentional living—and inviting our families to join us for the ride.   Photo Credit Start Your Mornings the Jam Girl Way Forget rushing out the door or scrolling your phone first thing.…

    Gen X Mental Health: The Generation That Bottled It Up Is Starting to Speak Out

    04/24 /2 Comments

    For all the talk about The Anxious Generation, you’d think Gen X disappeared off the map. The media focuses on Gen Z’s digital overload and Millennials’ burnout—important conversations, no doubt. But let’s not forget the in-between generation that raised itself, stayed quiet, and is now navigating midlife with a smile and clenched jaw. Yep, Gen X. The reality? Gen X mental health is a quiet crisis. And it’s time we stopped pretending otherwise.   The Forgotten Middle Child of Generations Gen X (born roughly 1965 to 1980) was raised during a time of economic uncertainty, high divorce rates, and latchkey afternoons. We were the first generation of kids who came…

    Budgeting for Allergy Relief: Understanding Allergy Immunotherapy Costs

    04/22 /No Comments

    If your child has allergies, you know the drill to try to give them allergy relief: tissues in every room, constant antihistamine refills, missed school days, and nights spent awake listening for that next cough or sneeze. For many families, managing allergies isn’t just inconvenient. It’s a year-round challenge that chips away at energy, time, and, yes, your wallet.   Maybe you’ve heard of allergy immunotherapy, a treatment that goes beyond daily meds and tackles the root of the problem. But if you’ve also heard it’s expensive, you’re not alone. Is it worth the cost? Let’s walk through what you really need to know as a parent trying to make…

    Are We Keeping Kids Too Busy? The Importance of Unstructured Play

    04/17 /No Comments

    In today’s go-go-go culture, many well-meaning parents fill their child’s schedule with back-to-back activities. But it’s time we ask: Is all this structure actually helping—or hurting? More and more experts are urging parents to pause and consider the importance of unstructured play in a child’s development. Why Unstructured Play Matters Free play has little in common with the kind of “play” kids experience today. Organized sports, classes, and clubs are run by adults with rules, goals, and schedules. Kids participate, yes—but they rarely lead. True unstructured play happens when adults step aside. And that’s where the real growth begins. Unstructured play teaches independence, creativity, problem-solving, and resilience. According to the…

    5 Things You Can’t Start Too Early When Raising A Toddler

    04/15 /No Comments

    Raising a toddler is a strange mix of wonder and exhaustion. One minute you’re marveling at how they figured out how to stack blocks without toppling them. The next, you’re wiping peanut butter off the dog. And all of it—every sticky, hilarious, confusing moment—is laying the groundwork for who they’re going to become. These early years aren’t just about surviving tantrums and teaching them not to eat crayons. They’re also the time to start thinking ahead, even if it feels way too soon.     Via Pexels Building A Financial Cushion For The Future It always starts with the same question: When should we start saving for college?
