Scion’s Line of Cars
As I wrote about earlier today, we are looking into getting a newer car within the next year or so. Price, safety, design, year, and quite a few other factors go into our decision, as they all do in everyone's decision when getting a new car. A friend of mine recently got a Scion. I have seen Scion's around the city, but I honestly could not tell you one model of Scion. After seeing my friend's Scion (which is a Scion iQ, just so you know) I figured I would get online and look them up. I … [Read more...]
Keeping Our Families Active
Keeping active as a family today is no easy task. Certainly, this has not been made any easier by the total accessibility of the internet and the widespread ownership of smartphones, tablets and laptops, even amongst our kids.

If you read my post last week about my dad getting a Toyota, you will find that he is really happy with the fact that he switched over to Toyota from another make of car (I won't mention which one). My husband and I are planning on buying another car in the next year or so. We are working on our credit to build it up to hopefully get a newer model car in the next year or so. One of our first options is a Toyota, of course, since they have such a good track record with lasting awhile with … [Read more...]

With a birthday comes the party. You want to make sure everything is perfect. Luckily since my daughter is so young, she really does not understand what is going on, but, of course, … [Read more...]
When Thumb Sucking Isn’t Cute Anymore
Rory Mycek is a guest contributor from www.TopDentists.com, the dental resource site of Everyday Health. Many babies and toddlers choose to suck on their thumb or fingers. After all, some babies have developed this habit while still in the womb! At first it starts out as something that's comforting to them, calms them down, and it looks cute...because every quiet baby is cute, right? Thumb-sucking only becomes a bad habit once they reach 2 to 4 years old, and then it becomes an issue that … [Read more...]
