Winter is right around the corner here in upstate New York and that means one thing...fender benders. Ice and snow create very treacherous weather conditions and the need for good car insurance. Let's face it...no one likes the extra ding that insurance makes in our pockets. But, when you are the one sitting in the middle of an intersection bumper to bumper with another vehicle, you are glad for the coverage. I have been in several fender benders and thankfully, my coverage has been amazing...and boy was I happy I had it too!! One issue that people often have with car insurance is the cost. Insurances are NOT getting cheaper but if you do your research, you may be able to find something more affordable. carinsurancerates.me  is a website on which you can compare rates, read the basics when it comes to insurance and compare providers. This site is laid out simply and easy to navigate. One thing that really impressed me was the fact that I can do everything in one place...including...

Several years before I was married (pre-college days), I had a job working at a nursing home. I wasn't an aide, but I worked in the kitchen. This could be a good job some days, and then other days it was just plain nasty. I mean, when I think about what some of those people ate and how they ate it...I don't think I could eat the food myself. Pureed hotdogs with bun???? No thanks. But, due to the fact that many could not eat solids, this was the only option (next to applesauce and pudding). I do give the dietary managers loads of credit though because they did give people many options and the one I listed was rare. Most of the food was palatable and even smelled pretty good. Being that it was a nursing home, I had to wear scrubs...even in the kitchen. The required color was cranberry and I loved it! I love  medical scrubs because they are very easy to clean and are for the most part, wrinkle-free. This was what made wearing them so easy. When you are working in a kitchen, yo...

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** As many of you are probably already aware, my daughter has and still suffers from eczema. Lately, it has not been bad but during the summer months it gets pretty awful for her. Eczema is a skin condition that plagues people of all ages, but mysteriously, it can be discovered in infants and can continue right up through toddler hood. When my daughter first started showing signs of this, I though it was ringworm. But, the pediatrician informed me that it was in fact eczema. I thought that I could just treat it once and it would go away...how I wish that was the case. She is now three and still suffers from mild cases every now and again and I am still searching for the product that will relieve her symptoms without nasty chemicals and additives. (Which is not an easy task). Recently, while browsing the Internet I ran across a company called Sister Sky and lo and behold, one of their products is a lotion specially formulated for eczema! I knew I had to c...
