Peace of mind for your family’s future.

By in Family No Comments

Lately, we have been thinking about getting all of our affairs in order for our family’s future. It’s easy to live in the moment, especially when you are still young but with four children to support, I feel much better knowing that our family is covered for whatever surprises and circumstances that life could throw at us.

Recently, we got our wills put together, along with lasting power of attorney and guardianship for the children.

Cloudberries Puzzles

By in Toy Reviews No Comments

Playing with puzzles and games is not just for children. For a few years now, I have been doing 1000 piece puzzles and I find it the most effective and relaxing thing for stress relief. I love it so much. In a world where we are constantly rushing around from one task to another without time to take a minute or be still, I really appreciate how much doing puzzles forces me to slow down and allows me to take time for myself.
