Hyperemesis Gravidarum

When I finally had that positive pregnancy test, I couldn’t have been happier. I was scared and excited. Scared that I would lose this baby and that the third loss would mean something was wrong with me. I quickly rushed to get an ultrasound to make sure the pregnancy was viable.

Budget Hacks for Moms: 4 Ways to Escape the Financial Treadmill

Another 35% have less than $1,000 in savings. That’s not enough to cover many car repairs, much less afford a 30-year retirement.

The average household savings rate in the U.S. in June (the most recent data available) was a paltry 3.8%. It’s no wonder Americans feel like they can’t get ahead, no matter how hard they work.

Too many American families are on this financial treadmill. They work and work and work, but never feel like they get anywhere financially, because nearly every penny they earn goes right back out the door.

Why switch to cloth pads?

Cloth pads are better for your health. Similar to disposable diapers, disposable maxi pads contain moisture absorbing chemicals and gels, bleached cottons and plastics and a whole lot of toxic fragrance. Cloth pads are chemical and fragrance free. Who would want all those toxins skin-to-skin in one of your most delicate and sensitive areas anyways?
