This weekend is Labor Day weekend (just in case someone didn’t know) and it will be pretty busy out on the roads. I was reading an article earlier on holiday hazards (I know! I know! another one!) and read that while New Years and Thanksgiving Day are the most accident prone days Labor Day isn’t…
At Home
Medical Errors Just Waiting to Happen
My aunt is currently in the hospital and she is super stubborn. Which I guess when I get into my seventies I will be as well but she insists on going to this little small town hospital. If it was something minor like a broken bone or such I would say okay but she has…
Turning the Big 40!
Today I turn the big 40 and I would love to tell you that it was this Earth shattering event but sadly not even a blip on the seismograph happened so far. Which in most places could actually be a good thing. I also heard that once you reach the big ages it was downhill…
Let’s Talk Light Bladder Leakage
I don’t about you all but I suffer from LBL also known as Light Bladder Leakage. I would love to say this is something that has just started happening since I have gotten older. That sounds good right? WRONG! I have had it for a while and I’m talking to the point that my younger brother likes to make me laugh hard enough to…well tinkle a little because he finds it funny. Brothers, what can do? The good news is that I am not alone in my suffering. Well with LBL at least I may be alone in the sibling suffering area. In fact 1 in 3 women experience LBL and if you don’t already know it can be triggered by exercise, laughing, coughing and sneezing. It can also be experienced during and after pregnancy.

No family is ideal or perfect, however, and it’s inevitable that the majority of families will go through difficult stages….
Head Back to School with JCPenney
Well it’s that time of the year again. The time when parents everywhere are getting their kids ready to head back to school. Even though we homeschool I still try to be sure to get the kids new clothing this time of the year because they certainly need them. Kids grow so fast that they…
No Need to Worry, Lots of People Have Rosacea!
This is a partnered post with Galderma Laboratories, L.P. the makers of Mirvaso® (brimonidine) Topical Gel, 0.33%*. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. I had acne growing up and have had it as an adult but it wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I discovered I had rosacea. I had heard of…
Dangerous Jobs and Their Pay
As a military brat I am well acquainted with dangerous jobs but you would be surprised what may of them pay. In fact you would most likely be surprised what combat pay was. I was reading this article on dangerous jobs and what they pay when I realized that I didn’t think anything about how…
Give Up Sodas For a Brighter Smile
Okay I openly admit that I have a soda problem! I would love to say that it isn’t a problem or even that I am from the South and the home of sodas so that’s my excuse. The truth is there is no excuse and I have tried dozens of different times to give them…
Important Ways Of Keeping Yourself Safe When Seeking Medical Treatment
Most people are, at one point or another, going to have need of medical services. We all have health issues that we need to get checked out, some more serious than others. But are we taking enough care to make sure we’re getting the right kind of treatment? That the duty of care is being…
