What’s Your Family’s Fire Escape Plan… Besides Stop, Drop, & Roll? (5 Things You Need to Include!)

Does your family have a fire escape plan? Better yet, have you ever practiced it? After my daughter’s 2 year old check-up, I was reading through the instruction sheet they gave me on how to keep her alive and it recommended to practice a fire escape plan. My first thought was… what is our fire […]

3 Financial Habits Parents Need to Instill in Their Children (Before They Leave Home)

3 Financial Habits Parents Need to Instill in Their Children (Before They Leave Home)

Our society on a whole has a spending problem and the sooner we can teach our children how to properly use and spend money wisely the better off they will be.

I used to know EVERYTHING about being a perfect mom, but then… I HAD A BABY!!! (This is actually my sister’s baby. Isn’t he adorable?) I quickly realized I knew nothing and continue to know less each day ;) Not only are babies a TON of work, but they are EXPENSIVE too! By the time […]

A Mother’s Worst Nightmare: Teach Your Children Self-Defense with radKIDS!

What would you do if a stranger woke you up in the middle of the night with a knife to your throat and threatened that if you made a noise your family dies? Even more importantly, what would your child do? Hopefully, that is something you will NEVER have to answer. A Mother’s Worst Nightmare… There is one […]
