    High Blood Pressure Facts You Need to Know

    June 7, 2015 - By 

    Last year right around the time I left for a big trip with World Vision Canada I got a high blood pressure reading. It was the first time ever and I figured it was a one off. Away I went on the amazing trip, and when I returned, I had another reading done a few months later. Still, it was high. Fast forward two months after that high blood pressure reading. As I often do, I tackled the issue with diet and exercise and it came down a bit. I thought I was managing beautifully. But tackling this health issue…

    Nine Things We Want You To Know About Infertility – #IVF4ON #ONPOLI

    June 5, 2015 - By 

    It must be spring because everyone is suddenly pregnant, or posting a photo of their new arrival on Facebook. At this time of year with Spring, plus Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Infertility Awareness Month all wrapped up in one big bundle, family is everywhere. The triggers for infertility patients are seemingly endless. Even I am feeling it this year and we adopted our children 13 years ago. I guess that’s proof the emotions of infertility never go away. With spring comes the constant reminders of people who have suddenly succeeded at getting pregnant. That’s hard for so very many people…

    Summer Flash Giveaway

    June 5, 2015 - By 

    It’s June. Hard to believe but true. That means summer is on the way fast. But summer can be super expensive with the kid’s summer camps and the road trips and all the extras like the field trips before school ends and then graduation, if you have a child finishing a certain grade at school. I’m not complaining but I understand this time of year can be costly. So with that in mind I am trying to deliver a few more flash giveaways. This is just one flash giveaway. Good luck and have a great weekend! For THREE Days ONLY…

    Are Guinea Pigs Good Pets? – Meet Skittles

    June 3, 2015 - By 

    We’ve had guinea pigs since Payton was seven. She got Cottonball for her seventh birthday.  Cottonball lived four years at least, which is the life expectancy of a guinea pig ( 3 to 5 years). She was a super sweet easy going guinea pig. She went to school for a show and tell moment one time and was a big hit there. When Cottonball passed away and many, many, tears were shed, we took a couple of weeks before we got Hope and Buttercup. Buttercup lived just long enough for us to realize the pet store had made an error…
