Family Planning :: Deciphering Automobile Insurance
Deciphering Automobile Insurance Simply put, if you own or lease a vehicle, you need auto insurance. Required by law in most states, it is a monthly expense that you may not ever need, but if you do, you will be very glad that you have it.

Send the Perfect Care Package to Your College Student!
During my first year in college, my parents sent me a couple care-packages throughout the year and I still remember how exciting it was to get something from home.

I remember thinking “now what?!” I was on my own and didn’t know anyone. Luckily, I became fast friends with my dorm roommates but being out on…

5 Fall Fashion Essentials for Moms
Yay! It’s that time again for (most) of the country to pull out their Fall sweaters, boots and coats. Never mind that we are experiencing 100 degree days here in Southern California, I can still dream about the days we can pull out our Fall clothing. Yes, eventually, the days will become cooler and we can join the rest of the country – though our winters are pretty mild as you know. Trust me when I say there are many-a-day when I would love to wake up to seeing snow falling from my bedroom window. I can’t complain and won’t though I do have a little cold-weather envy… Here…

The Importance of Stretching
Last month I wrote about the many benefits of a 30-60 minute daily walk. It has helped me lose that extra weight gained from taking steroids (yuck) and lately I’ve been incorporated some of my favorite yoga stretches about halfway through my walk. If you didn’t get a chance to read the post about the health benefits to walking you can read it here. Stretching every day with some easy yoga poses will help you in so many ways! It can help improve flexibility, and, consequently, range of motion in your joints. Better flexibility may improve your performance in physical activities or decrease your risk of injuries by helping your joints move…
