Parenting is hard. And anyone who tells you differently, is either lying or doesn’t have kids! Having 4 kids myself, including a set of twins, I’m always happy to share any tricks that I have learned along the way. Here are some of my favorites: Join a gym with childcare. It was a lifesaver after […]
I am a firm believer that every child should have a Disneyworld experience. So with our oldest daughter’s fifth birthday approaching, I knew it was time to book our trip to the “happiest place on Earth.” Having not been to Disney since eighth grade, with a husband who had never been himself, Disney as adults, […]
It’s 2020, and now, more than ever, people can have any career or be anything they want to be. Gone are the days of only having run-of-the-mill, corporate, 9-5 jobs.
