Every working American works to earn income. We all expect to get paid for the work we do each day. Most of us are truly committed to our jobs and feel that it is a vital part of our life and support for our family.

However more and more people are looking for ways to increase income, improve family time and enjoy more of life. Recently one of my friends reminded me of the career and work I use to do and how on the GO I was all the time. Neither of us could believe the dramatic difference in me then and now.

I am a stay at home working mom. I had NEVER considered leaving my corporate job or closing my mediation practice until I ran into a friend that showed me a different lifestyle. One that I deserved but thought I had to work YEARS to provide and have. I must say that I was wrong. I accused her of trying to get me to quit my job and live on dimes. I even said that she was in a phony stay at on business that couldn’t possibly net her that type of lif ... Read More »

As a stay at home mom I often think about plans for the week around lunch and dinner for the family. It’s just the roll that I decided to take on as a mom. I admit often I wish it were my husband’s job to think about those things on top of all the other things he does to provide for our family.

I would have never thought that keeping food around the house and on the table was such a big deal because we have always been big on eating out if I didn’t feel up to cooking or making meals. Well over the past few months after having a baby just a year ago and another on the way, I soon realized that we needed to cut back. I needed to start planning ahead and making meals to stay in more with the kids and save money.

I just didn’t think that grocery and gas would completely stress me out when it came to lunch and dinner because I would normally stop in the store and grab a quick meal if I didn’t want to deal with FROZEN ... Read More »

I was recently on the phone with a dear friend that kept saying she could not wait on the stimulus package check to get some things she really wanted. She was due $1500 or so from the government in May. She is a well educated and successful mom that recently came home with a baby. I thought it was odd for her to say that because she is always into something that brings in some cash flow or so I thought.

When I delved deeper about what she had been doing for money and how some of those things were going she said, “Oh there okay, but you know those things don’t make money for you if you aren’t out and working them and buying the inventory to sell.”  I immediately reminded her that all work from home doesn’t require that. I mentioned that I have had a steady income for the past two years, every single month. I too have had a baby in the last year and will have another in May. My checks have continued to come under ALL circums ... Read More »

An allergy occurs when the body's immune system has an exaggerated reaction to a usually harmless substance. The most common causes of allergies are dust mites, molds, pollen, pets with fur or feathers, stinging insects, and some kinds of foods. The body reacts to the substance by releasing chemicals, one of which is called histamine. The results of this reaction may include runny nose, congestion, sneezing, itchy eyes, and ear itching or popping. Asthma may occur in some children.

The best way to prevent or control your child's allergy symptoms is to help him or her avoid the allergen, the substance that triggers the allergy. An allergist is a doctor trained to identify which substances are causing your child's allergy, and he or she can treat and help you prevent your child's allergy symptoms.

One way an allergist can determine the causes of your child's allergies is by testing your child's reaction to specific allergens by skin or blood tests. Based on the t ... Read More »

Cleaning your house with low-toxic cleansers you make yourself is an excellent way to start your green home-maintenance program. Not only are these cleansers healthy and effective, they smell good, cost less than commercial products, don't pollute indoor air, and only take a minute to make.
Begin by sorting out the area where you keep your cleaning products. Box up all commercial cleansers - ammonia, oven cleaners, furniture polish, disinfectant, toilet cleaner. Tighten the lids and store the cleansers in the garage until your community's next hazardous-waste collection day. Now you're ready to replace those synthetic chemicals with natural products you make yourself using ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen:
The most common ingredients are:
• Borax
• Distilled white vinegar
• Baking soda
• Salt

For the more than 40 million people throughout the country who suffer from indoor allergies, spring cleaning can be an important step to take in order to reduce allergy symptoms, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). Spring cleaning takes some time and effort, but it will produce an indoor environment that is less allergenic, easier to clean and healthier for the whole family.

Symptoms of indoor allergies

Indoor allergy sufferers will often wheeze, sneeze, cough and hack their way through the winter months, thinking they have a chronic cold. In actuality, they are probably reacting to indoor allergens. Some symptoms between a cold and allergies are similar, such as sneezing and a stuffy or runny nose. But, if your symptoms are also accompanied with a fever, sore throat, colored nasal discharge, and aches and pains, then you probably have a cold. With allergies, there is never a fever, the nasal discharge is clear, an ... Read More »

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Michelle Hammond and Jeremiah Holland were intrigued when a friend at the Oakland Tribune asked them and their two young children to take part in a cutting-edge study to measure the industrial chemicals in their bodies.
"In the beginning, I wasn't worried at all; I was fascinated," Hammond, 37, recalled.
But that fascination soon changed to fear, as tests revealed that their children -- Rowan, then 18 months, and Mikaela, then 5 -- had chemical exposure levels up to seven times those of their parents.
"[Rowan's] been on this planet for 18 months, and he's loaded with a chemical I've never heard of," Holland, 37, said. "He had two to three times the level of flame retardants in his body that's been known to cause thyroid dysfunction in lab rats."
The technology to test for these flame retardants -- known as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) -- and other industrial chemicals ... Read More »
