Baby Won’t Sleep? How I’m Surviving It.
How to Survive When Your Baby Won’t Sleep Your baby won’t sleep? I’ve been there. I’m still there. If you’re like me, you’re busy. You have to juggle all the things life throws at you, including work, children, spouse, housework (click here for time saving tips for cleaning), and other things. When your baby won’t sleep it throws your whole life off and out of balance. It’s expected that newborns won’t sleep through the night, but after months of not sleeping it can be so stressful!

14 Valentine’s Day Dates for Under $100
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! One thing I hate about Valentine’s Day is that it is too close to the holiday season. With all the money spent at Christmastime, it doesn’t leave much money for a lavish Valentine’s Day excursion. These Valentine’s Day dates will help you have fun and save money. My husband and I are always trying to save money so we very rarely go on any expensive dates. After work, school and children, it’s nice to just spend some time together, even if it’s just watching a movie at home or making dinner together. Below is a list of 14 dates that we have actually…

It’s 2018 and tomorrow I start a lifestyle change with a new diet, and you know what that means…the last supper, and this chicken and tortellini recipe make a great last supper. The new diet I will be following restricts carbs, so I knew I wanted to eat something naughty and carb loaded. I thought about a burger and fries but it didn’t appeal to me. Pizza came to mind, but it didn’t sound good enough either. It’s -21 degrees here in Wisconsin and I wanted something piping hot…

Define Yourself By What You Love
While scrolling through Facebook one day, I ran across a video of Tim Minchin giving a speech at the commencement ceremony for The University of Western Australia. His speech was wonderful and quite entertaining, but one thing he said really struck a chord with me. While taking about the nine life lessons, he mentioned that it’s important to define yourself by what you love. He goes on to tell the students to be pro-stuff, not just anti-stuff. I saw this video at a time in my life where I had just left a job and was wondering what my next step would be. I wanted to find a career…
