Support Local Businesses in Uptown and Downtown Vancouver, WA by Ordering Take Out!

With the state shut down and local businesses being affected hardcore, we need to do our part in helping keep our city afloat by ordering to go or having meals delivered so these small businesses don’t have to shut down permanently. We got hit by this pandemic, but fortunately, we’ve been able to stay afloat with unemployment that eventually got worked out and with the added stimulus bonus each week. We know that won’t be going on for too long, so I am hoping my husband is able to find work soon. Until then, we’ll do our part in helping out our community.

5 Things You Should Do Before Trying to Conceive

5 Things You Should Do Before Trying to Conceive

As some of you may know, I suffered a miscarriage 3 and a half years ago. It was hard for me to wrap my mind around it at the time, but as the days go on, it becomes a little easier to deal with; not forget, because I will never forget that I had life in my womb for 2 and a half months.

A couple of weeks after my D&C procedure, I had a follow-up visit with the OBGYN who did my surgery.  Basically asking what my plans were and how I was feeling and if everything has been alright post-op. Everything was pretty normal. Very minimal bleeding and pain, emotions like a rollercoaster. I literally cried when Shrek 3 came on TV after seeing all of their babies. I was sad before that but that just pushed me over the top. I still get sad of course, but life must go on since I had my Arya girl that I needed to be mentally, emotionally, and physically there for.

Celebrating our 8th Anniversary at Olivia Beach with Buick Encore GX Essense

Celebrating our 8th Anniversary at Olivia Beach with Buick Encore GX Essense

One of my favorite areas to stay on the west coast is Olivia Beach in Lincoln City, Oregon. The homes are brand new and have that perfect beachy charm, which is why I knew I wanted to spend it there again for our 8th anniversary. The neighborhood is also spectacular; perfect for families traveling together. I was hoping we would snag an Oliva Beach home with a hot tub so we could relax our old, sore muscles, but every house with one was booked. We were lucky enough to find the one we did (The Mermaids Grotto) at such a great price though since my husband still had a credit through his old job.

Early Learning With Priddy Books

Early Learning With Priddy Books

My daughters love books so I had to jump on this opportunity, especially since Delilah is 2 now and eager to learn and absorb information all of the time. Priddy books are great for younger ages because they have bright colors, fun images and some have texturized pages to heighten all senses. Even my 5-year-old was wanting to check them out with her sis and then decided to hoard a few! View Post

Headed to Seaside Oregon in the Chevy Bolt EV for National Drive Electric Week

Headed to Seaside Oregon in the Chevy Bolt EV for National Drive Electric Week

If you follow along on my Instagram page, you probably saw that we were contacted to try out the Chevy Bolt EV for National Drive Electric week that occurred Sep 25-Oct 3rd. I had been wanting to try out cars anyway because my husband is in the market to buy a new vehicle for himself since my current one is now paid off, and what better way to decide what we want other than testing new cars for a week or two, right?

What is National Drive Electric Week?
