They don’t hand you a How-To manual when leaving the hospital—but they should! Since we do not have manuals tossed our way (I suggest parenting classes, but not all are able to do this), we must rely on books and blogs to help guide us. (And lots of prayer!!) Image: Pixabay New parents have a

For some, daycare is a solution for childcare needs, and for others it’s the very last option they want to consider. There are benefits and challenges alike that you should consider before deciding to place your child in daycare.

You are responsible for a whole entire being—or beings!It’s magical, rewarding, and beautiful while ironically also being terrifying, exhausting, and messy. Choosing a daycare for your little one is one more decision you make that can be so stressful. I have a unique

Whether you go into it for the eggs, meat, or companionship raising ducks can be very rewarding. And also messy. Like, a lot. Those cute little videos on Tik Tok or Facebook don’t quite capture the magic of taking care of professional-pooing waddle fluffs. No worries though, their cuteness more than makes up for the
