You never know when an emergency will arise. This emergency might be one related to a natural disaster, or it might be a financial emergency, such as a job loss. In some cases, you might experience a financial emergency at the same time that you experience a natural disaster. While you can never be completely prepared for the toll an emergency takes on you, it is possible to limit the harm done by an unexpected turn of events.

My partner and I have been house shopping lately, which has proven to be a very interesting endeavor. Of course, like all home buyers (particularly property virgins ), we have a vision and don’t want to sacrifice what we want. That being said, we don’t have an unlimited budget. So, (surprise, surprise), we have to sacrifice some of our “wants”. We have been looking at “fixer uppers” lately, which I think would be perfect for our personalities.

Did you know that there is a “best” month to buy certain products? Have you ever wondered if the products you are buying are at their rock bottom price? Every product has a “seasonal sale,” and when grocery stores mark these items at their lowest price, this is the time to stock up! But how do you know when these items are at their lowest?

I love to look at pictures of C and C when I’m away from them and couldn’t wait to get my custom keychain! “Fetch Joy. Keep the Memory!” is the inspiration behind Zelda’s Song.

Many parents would be correct in assuming that carpooling comes with a myriad benefits for themselves, although the main draw, of course, is that the duties for dropping off and picking up kids at school are spread out amongst several adults, so that each family is relieved of the onus to make daily trips. However, carpooling may also benefit children in a number of ways.It’s easy to assume that they would be better off in a situation where they didn’t have to cram in with half a doz

Hey Everyone. Happy Friday. I can say that I have somehow been keeping my head above water so to speak. I don’t think I am any less busy; I am still working two jobs and I have had board meetings almost every night, but I seem to be doing ok. I guess I am getting a bit better at managing the chaos which is a nice feeling. I am still behind on some blogging stuff but I am doing my best to get caught up when I can.
