When your child is sick, who can you trust?
The easy answer seems to be, "a doctor", right? But what if it's not? Through Hollywood TV and movies, doctors are put in the light to be these sort of magical heroes that come in and save the day, curing the patients of the most impossible disease. In real life, though, why does it seem that it is the parents who are doing the proactive diagnosing? It is also the parent that is often looked at and treated like they are incompetent of understanding human diseases and disorders. After all, did … [..more]

January is an EXCITING month with Scentsy!
I have been waiting for January for a while, now. Two exciting things with Scentsy are happening this month: Bring Back My Bar promotion and the Double Hostess Rewards!

The top few scents are then brought back for a short period of time, aka. "Bring Back My Bar". The top voted scents … [Read More...]

Ok. Here I go. ME I will lose 50 lbs (in a healthy way!) I will gain more control of my OCD -- do more and worry less! I will … [Read More...]
Another great year and another wonderful Christmas
I cannot believe that another Christmas has passed, as Christmas 2010 is still very fresh in my mind. Has it really been a year already? Last year my baby girl was just 2.5 and now she's 3.5 (which is ALMOST 4!!) and my little fresh out of the oven sweetheart was just 5 months, and now she's an amazing 17 month old. I blinked, and they grew a whole year older. How did that happen? Technically, for us, Christmas started at the beginning of the month when my mother-in-law came to visit. I … [Read More...]
