Being A Bridesmaid: What Expenses To Expect
I was asked to be in a wedding as a bridesmaid when I was 19. I was excited to participate, and gleefully said "Yes!" without much thought. At the time I was in college and living independently from my parents, without any financial assistance from them. I realized a day or two after accepting that I would have to figure out how to pay to participate, but I wasn't even sure what all would be included. I recently was talking with a friend who just recently got asked to be a bridesmaid for the first Read more [...]
Gourmet Gift Baskets {Gourmet Gifts For Dad} & Giveaway (6/19)
I was sent Gourmet Gift Baskets for review. All opinions are my own.
I tend to struggle with finding gift ideas for the men in my life. My father is in his 70's now and while he's fairly active given his age, he lives a fairly simple life.

Use R.I.C.E. To Treat Sprains & Strains
My husband sprained his ankle last weekend. He's a farmer and we wanted to get him back on his feet and feeling good as soon as possible. I taught him the acronym R.I.C.E. to treat his sprained ankle. I share this acronym any chance I get to help others remember how to treat a sprain or a strain.
R stands for Rest. You should take it easy and rest the affected extremity as much as possible. It may be necessary to use crutches for a few days in the event of a bad lower extremity sprain. Relax Read more [...]
