Nature Walks We are lucky enough to have a few lakes near our house and one of them is a short walk away. Taking the girls on a walk around the lake has been such a great way for us to get out for a quick change of scenery. Some days we bird watch, other days we count all the different animals that we see, and some days we just sit on a rock and talk halfway through the walk. The whole point is we …

Then, when my older sister had her two children she had sections with both. I just assumed that cesarean …

Last month, just two days before our family vacation my car was struck by lightning. At fist the damage to the car seemed minimal, as the exterior of the car was completely intact.

Why We Chose A Disney Cruise For Our Family Vacation
This summer for our family trip we decided on a Disney Cruise. The idea came about because our girls are at the age where most of their friends have started visiting Walt Disney World. Unfortunately, I was not keen on making a trip to a giant amusement park full of people in the hot and humid weather with two young kids who can’t sit still and do not like long lines. I was never interested in visiting Disney, not even as a child. I come …
