With the 2-yr old and the second one on the way, I decided to look for a double stroller. I wanted a side-by-side type, with jogging/running capability, good size canopy for sun protection and compact enough to fit through a door. By looking through a ton of strollers online at the Babies-R-Us store, I decided [...]

If you are reading this post, you are probably desperate.  First off, congratulations on your pregnancy! I hope my story will help you save money on your maternity bills if you don’t have maternity coverage.
In April 2007 I found myself pregnant.  I called my insurance first to find out if they covered pregnancy.  The answer [...]

Being a stay-at-home parent can get monotonous and downright depressing. What else does one have to look forward to every day besides taking care of kids, cleaning, cooking, laundry? And what about the kids? They need interaction as much as adults do, if not more.

Today I experimented with a new dish for my toddler – chicken and mashed potatoes.  Came out pretty yummy.  In fact it’s so good, I could eat the whole thing myself!
I used couple of ounces of boiled chicken breast, two mid-size baked potatoes, half cup of whole milk and about quarter of a table spoon [...]

My neighbor sold me this neat running stroller.  I couldn’t refuse, he was only asking $30 for it.  I tell you what, even if I had to buy it brand new at the store, I would have!  The brand new ones go for $110-$130.  It is a neat way to couple my exercise and my [...]
