Useful Tips for Making Moving Less Stressful

Our family is looking to possibly make a move in the near future so I searched for some helpful moving tips as I know there must be a better way to move than the way we have done it in the past. You know, where some items get shoved into a box with no labeling and are still sitting in your hall closet after ten years. Not saying that is what we did (yeah, right).

4 Steps to Getting Your Home Shiny and Happy!

I’ve had more than my share of situations where friends and neighbors stop-by and I have to apologize for the state of the house and I was tired of that.

Tips for taking mini-breaks during your busy workweek!
You know how it is, you push yourself all day long and find around 3 o’clock you are done. At least you would like to be done for the day, but as a busy parent that isn’t likely! I remind myself to take little breaks throughout the day because sitting in front of the computer all day is just not good for my health. I heard something along these lines that “sitting all day is for our generation is what smoking was for previous generations.” Basically, if you have a job that requires you to sit most of the day, be sure to get up and move around from time to time! …
