1940 Census Records Are Released

A few years back my husband took an interest in genealogy. It started with casual conversations with my grandma, his parents and my Dad. He decided that we needed to start documenting some of these stories and that he would love to know a bit more about who our relatives are/were... so he started digging. He found out that one of our local libraries had a genealogy section, so he spent many Saturdays there immersed in paperwork and films. The … [Read more...]

Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Digital Video Sensor Pad Baby Monitor Review

Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Digital Video Sensor Pad Baby Monitor Review I am a nervous Nelly when it comes to my children... always have been, especially after losing our Emilee at 5 days. I didn’t sleep well during the first six months of all four of their lives. Even though they were either next to the bed in a bassinet or actually co-sleeping with us, I would wake multiple times during the night to check on them. When I heard about … [Read more...]

Cutting the first hole... there are two in the garage and five in the lower living room. The first hole proved that we were doing the right thing.

Spring Home Makeover | Shopping For Pergo Laminate Flooring

Spring Home Makeover with Pergo Laminate Flooring We have been fighting cracking walls, stuck doors and sloping floors for a few years now. Our house is only 13(ish) years old, so we were hoping it was just initial settling. When our upper floors started to crack and stick we finally decided to contact a couple of experts for their opinion. Both agreed that our foundation needed piering and our slab needed mud jacking. *insert whooping … [Read more...]

ConceiveEasy TTC Fertility Kit RV $152 [CLOSED GIVEAWAY]

I was in my early 20’s when I started having babies. Looking back on it, I took how easy it was to conceive for granted. When I was in my late 30’s and we decided to try for baby #3 I figured it would be that easy again. Boy was I wrong. I went through ovulation prediction tests like they were water and I couldn’t even begin to count the number of pregnancy tests I purchased in that time frame (yes, I was a POASaholic). Now there is an … [Read more...]
