Have Children? Consider Pet Insurance!
Certainly, many women and men fantasize about the All American Dream. We all want the perfect house, the perfect family, the perfect pet and the perfect life. And it sure would be nice if we could all achieve those things. Trouble is, we do not live in a perfect world, and as much as we try to avoid them, accidents and tragedies often happen when we least expect them. For most families, health insurance comes to the rescue in the event of catastrophic injury or illness, and often saves parents from declaring bankruptcy thanks to mounting medical bills. However, when it comes to our furry friends, we do not often consider pet insurance – or even realize there is such a thing – until it is too late.
For families with beloved pets, their cats or dogs are just as important as any other family member. Especially for those pets who were part of the family before the kids even came along – it is super important to keep those animals healthy, happy and comfortable for as long as possible. Pet insurance is a smart step – emotionally and financially – to secure the safety of your furry family members.
For families with small children, it is absolutely imperative that they make pet insurance part of their annual health care budget. Just like you would never ever dream of having your child uninsured, you certainly should give you cat or dog that same consideration. Small children are often very rough with their pets and accidents are bound to happen. Should your cat of dog injure or break a bone, veterinary surgery to set and cast it can be astronomical. Sadly, most families who chose not to purchase a pet insurance policy are financially forced to put their pets to sleep in cases like this. Do your research, and a great pet insurance company is easy and affordable!

another LC dream ...
The husband thinks we are ready for our new dream car. Yes, after enjoying our three year old SUV so much, time to get something bigger and with more space. An upgrade ... from our present Toyota Fortuner to Toyota Land Cruiser (LC). Sturdy and mean looking ... and the husband loves the super pogi points. What do you think? Any reviews about this car?
Babyproof Your Home
Bringing a new baby home can be quite an exciting thing. The first thing you want to do though, is to baby proof new jersey luxury apartments. The worst thing that can happen is having your child get into something they aren't supposed to and get hurt. By baby proofing your home early, you can prevent any of that from happening at all and keep your mind at ease.
One simple tip is to get down on your hands and knees and crawl around on the floor to see the same view as your child does. Look for anything that might be interesting for the baby to touch or play with, and make note of it.
Make sure that your house has new batteries in all the smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Take down all of your small refrigerator magnets, as they could pose a choking problem if they fall to the floor when the door is slammed too hard.
Locate all of the electrical outlets in your house and cover them with plastic outlets or buy special baby proof covers for them. Keep your cupboards securely closed with childproof locks. Some children may figure out how to open them, so if you have any cleaning solutions or sprays, place them high up on a shelf where a baby wouldn't be able to reach them.
Keep a list in a visible place of all emergency contact numbers. You can also program them into your phone so that you can dial them in a moment's notice. If you aren't sure what else you can do to protect your baby, there are professional baby-proofers out there that will come to your home and child proof the house for you. It's better to be overly safe then have an accident happen when you're least expecting it.

New Concepts in Cooking
I've recently heard of this great new concept in both food preparation and cooking. It's a dinner club, and these types of social organizations are popping up a lot. How do they work?
First, most dinner clubs have a website. You can sign up for the club and take a look at its menu. Pick and choose the meals you know you and your family will love. You can even pay ahead online, too.
Second, prepare for your visit to dinner club. Wear clothing that doesn't have long sleeves, which can get messy while assembling your meals. Tie your hair back if it's long and bring a large reusable box or bag to carry your meals home in.
Third, head to the club. Upon arrival, you'll go to your first station. There will be ingredients and a list of instructions. Follow them, assemble your meal, and add extra garlic or cheese, if that's what you and your family like. Typically, stickers or cards with cooking instructions will be available for your pre-assembled meals.
Next, have a blast! You can chat with friends or neighbors, meet new people, have a glass of wine, and throw all your ingredients together. It will feel great knowing that you won't be doing any of the clean up!
Last, take your meals home and cook as needed.
Dinner clubs will save you time and allow for fewer trips to the grocery store. You won't have to worry about spoiled ingredients or dirty dishes. Dinner clubs are your one-stop destination. You can be social while being productive! After looking into dinner clubs, it seems like they offer a fun and convenient time. There's no need to seek out recipes. Head to a dinner club and let the staff do the work! Just a couple hours a month and you have meals for days, even weeks. Sounds delicious.

My Daughter Loves Online Games
My daughter is old enough now to play online games and she's been thrilled with a few of the games I recently let her try out on our computer. I always take the time to thoroughly read the reviews of any games she'd like to play. I look for a few key things before I let her play a game, including a "G" rating. The G rating tells me that there isn't any bad language or unpleasant violence in the game and that it is appropriate for children of any age. I also try to encourage her to play online games that are educational in some way. Fortunately, there are tons of games now available that pass both tests.
I've discovered that my daughter loves playing any kind of game that involves animals. Is this something common to all little girls? She's just loving a game called "Kitten Sanctuary," where she gets to rescue a bunch of sweet little kittens from aliens. Of course, she's now interested in getting a real kitten some day soon! In the meantime, online games with lots of animals keep her satisfied.
Another game she likes (and I enjoy as well) is "Fishdom." She gets to design and stock an aquarium with beautiful tropical fish, then take care of them. The graphics are wonderful, and it's a pretty and relaxing game that is great just before bedtime.
We've set up some rules for playing online games that limit the time she can play each week, and so far they've worked really well. She knows she can play an hour of online games each afternoon, and we sometimes get some extra playtime in together on the weekends. Even her dad enjoys playing online games with us, so the games are really family activities!

Thoughts on Money, Travel and Careers
My daughter has begun to think more seriously about her college education and career choices. She’s just a sophomore in high school now, but I think it’s wise on her part to start thinking about this now so we can plan ahead. She’s having trouble deciding, as she says, “what to do with my life.” This is a big issue for someone so young, but I’m impressed that she’s showing this initiative at her age.
I know she’s always loved to travel. We haven’t been able to afford to do that much over the years, but her bedroom walls have travel posters of destinations from around the world. I also know she has a compassionate heart and enjoys helping people. This started at an early age when a bird crashed into our sliding glass door and she nursed it back to health. With these two things in mind, I came across what might be the ideal career for her: traveling nurse.
Travel nurse jobs offer a great way to see the world while helping out the less fortunate. I asked what she thought of this idea, and she’s thrilled about it, so we’re looking at nursing schools and at the agencies that hire travel nurses. Our local college does offer a nursing program, but often there’s a long waiting list. I’ve discovered nurses are in great demand right now, and this translates into increased nursing program enrollment.
School tuition is much higher than in my college days, and our finances are tight. We’re looking at online nursing programs that might cost less, and she could get her degree quicker, too. My girl is so excited about this idea, and she wants to get on that plane as soon as possible. I’m hoping she’ll stay in the United States, at least for her first couple assignments, but I know she’ll eventually want to travel to all parts of the world.
