    How Did Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor Help Me Tackle High Blood Pressure

    March 28, 2016 /

    In September of 2014 I had my first high blood pressure reading ever. It was frightening and frustrating too. So I set about fixing it. I worked out more, I went gluten free. I added more exercise. I banished salt, ate differently, walked more..and I did all that consistently for two years and still nothing much changed. My blood pressure went up and down. But sometimes it was as high as 150 over 92. About two months ago a Withings wireless blood pressure monitor arrived. And that’s when things finally turned around for the better. Before Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor: Month after month I used to check my blood…

    Flying Solo – When Is It Okay to Leave The Kids at Home Alone?

    March 2, 2016 /

    Flying solo. It’s a terrifying thought for many moms. The thought of our kids home alone with no adult supervision is frightening, but it has to be done at some point. At a certain age, we parents have to put enough trust in our kids to allow them to go it alone for short periods. But when is flying solo an appropriate option?   Flying Solo Requires Responsibility and Trust Knowing when it’s time to let the kids stay at home a lone is a pure judgement call. It relies on many factors including how responsible your children are, how trustworthy they are, and their ability to follow the rules…

    What is a Bull Market? Mind Your Money Series – Part 2

    February 18, 2016 /

    Last time, we talked about a bear market in the Mind Your Money Series. Today, we’ll look at a bull market. Just like with the bear market, if you don’t do a lot of investing or watch a lot of financial news, you might not know what a bull market is. I have made it my job in my 40s to do better understanding where and when and how to invest. This month I spied a million magazine headlines speculating about bear and bull markets so I figured I would take some time to map it out for myself so I understand and can pass that on to my readers too.…

    What is a Bear Market? Mind Your Money Series – Part 1

    February 17, 2016 /

    If you’ve done any type of investing or watched any sort of financial news, you’ve probably heard the term, bear market. Depending on your investment or financial knowledge you may or may not know what a bear market is. In my 40s I have made it my mission to be smart and savvy about investing, spending and donating money. I am a cautious investor and honestly quite new to the stock market so when I read stock market news I take it to heart and all of the talk recently about bull and bear markets got me wondering what does that mean to the average person? Today, I want to cut…

    Adult Coloring Books for Gifting #ValentinesDay

    January 29, 2016 /

    Adult coloring books are suddenly incredibly hot. I get it. I had a Hallmark one here recently and I had some fun chilling out and simply coloring for a bit. Coloring is a super relaxing activity. My one daughter has had coloring books with mandalas in them for several years. Those are not necessarily exclusively adult coloring books. Have you ever picked up an adult coloring book and wondered if you should get one? Do you have anxiety or trouble relaxing at all? They can be excellent tools for both children and adults to help calm down. When my kids were younger I had a home day care and I…

    Haunting Halloween RIP Brownies Recipe

    October 15, 2015 /

    Do your kids have a Halloween party to attend this year at all? Do you have a Halloween event? Then this recipe is perfect for you. Halloween RIP Brownies are pretty easy to make, festive and fun. Give them a try. It’s the icing that takes the longest on these. But the icing is also typically the best part too so it’s worth it in my opinion. Happy Haunting!! The last brownies we had were gluten free at a small bakery near the beach this August and they were delicious. They gave new meaning to awesome gluten free treats. These are not gluten free but you can easily modify with a…

    Happy Halloween!! Pumpkins, and candy and skeletons!! Oh my. There’s nothing quite like Halloween to bring out the kid in all of us. I started decorating the moment the cool new toys from Hallmark arrived here. Do you have some special decorations up yet? Do you go all out? Do you simply feature a few small decorations? Some people in our new neighbourhood go all out with haunted houses and front foyers spilling out smoke onto the street for full effect! I love that. So do the kids. You know what else I love?
