Before I gave birth to my third baby, I had a wardrobe and a style that I loved. My clothes fit well, my pieces were carefully tailored and I adored having the chance to dress up!
But after Baby Cormac I found, like so many women, that my old wardrobe just didn’t fit as well as it had before. And with a baby in the house, some of my favourite mom clothes just weren’t practical! (Think shirts without quick breastfeeding access or white pants when Baby started on solid food!)
So, you’ve decided to have a baby. Congratulations! Raising a baby is a wonderful experience, but it can also be expensive. Going through all those diapers alone costs a fortune in the first couple of years!
But don’t worry, because there are plenty of effective ways to cut expenses here and there. Caring for your little one doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg, and raising a baby on a budget will let you spoil your baby when you really want, without breaking the bank!

The reality is, if you’re going to be away for a couple of weeks and your home is going to be vacant, then you could be making your home susceptible to crime. Sadly, simply locking the door on your way out might not be enough. So, what can you do about it? [Read more…]
Anyone that’s dealt with high humidity knows how uncomfortable it can be. In fact, on a hot day, using a dehumidifier can be as effective for feeling cooler as an air conditioner! But that’s just one of the reasons you may want to consider a dehumidifier for your home.
As well as making you warmer on a hot day, high moisture levels in your home can cause mold growth, a potential danger to your home and your family’s health. If you’ve been considering adding a dehumidifier to your home, here are 4 major health benefits of owning a dehumidifier:
If you suffer from occasional allergic reactions, high humidity in your home could be making the problem worse. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen and spores thrive in humid conditions.
Even with good ventilation in the house, it is possible for small living spaces without proper ventilation, such as bathrooms, kitchen, and basements, to have a lot of moisture build up. A dehumidifier can help reduce the humidity in those closed-off places. [Read more…]
