Benefits of Doing My Own Baby Products Research
I am expecting my second son sometime this January. I do have a due date, but let’s face it—babies come when they want to, whether it be early or late. I thankfully have a few things leftover from my first baby boy, along with friends and family giving me some hand-me-downs.
If you are like me and received a ton of hand-me-downs, you want to have a little something new (or at least new to you) for a change. I have had friends and family ask me about a registry, but truthfully, I have not made one for this baby, and I honestly don’t think I need to make one. The only reason I’d make one is so I could get the gift box!
A Guide to Crushing Your 2021 Career Goals
We can all agree that we’re excited to put 2020 behind us and look ahead to a fresh start in 2021. It’s also an opportune time to take a new approach to your job search. Today, I want to explore five key topics that will get your professional brand on track in the new year.
Bubble Baths and a Box of Chocolates
I come from a large family that insists on a rowdy bi-annual family reunion. One year, my brother decided to hold the reunion at his gorgeous new home. Theoretically, it sounded perfect. There was a large yard, swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, and we were meeting during a mild weather month so tent camping on the lawn. And when the day came, forty men, women, and children arrived all at once, with suitcases and cars and tents and toys.
Forty people. One home. An entire week.
Right around day 3, I opened the pantry closet and found my sister-in-law hiding inside. Desperate for a minute of peace, she’d simply stepped inside a dark food pantry and stayed there for a still undisclosed amount of time.

Empower Yourself Through Finance
From a young age I have loved numbers.
I suspect this passion for numbers contributed to my interest in finance. By the time I turned 15 and had my first W-2 job working as a dishwasher, I was ready to start investing in the stock market.
What a different world it was back in 1987. Back then, there was no discount broker, no online, no internet. There were only full service brokers where you had to stop by your broker’s office or phone them and place your order that came with a commission usually in the $30-50 range per trade.
My first investment was made on Oct. 19, 1987, a day in the investment world known as Black Monday, because the Dow Jones Industrial Average would go on to shed 22.6% of its value in one day.
When Army Retirement is on the Horizon
Last night my husband said something that brought instant tears to my eyes.
There was nothing about a move.
There was nothing about a deployment.
“In twelve days I can drop my retirement packet.”
