Nanny to Mommy

For many of us, summer vacation has already started, and for others, it's just on the horizon. When you're a kid, the best part of the school year is summer vacation. Oh, the freedom. It's a time to rest after months of hard work and studying. And if you're a parent with children, you want to do your best to give them the best vacation so they can unwind from those stress-filled months. Summer vacation is one of the most important things a child can experience. And there are so many great activities that your family can enjoy during the summer break, especially if you've planned a big trip.

Looking to learn HOW to lower your cable or satellite bill? Then this post is for YOU! With the inflation of our grocery bills and the crazy market, I thought I would update this post with EVEN MORE streaming options available for ways to save big!

We bought a new house back at the end of August 2016. We have a bigger home that comes with a larger mortgage payment. So we were going through our bills and thinking of what we could get rid of. We routinely do this anyway. We decided to not only drop our gym member ship (that we hadn't used in months) as well as drop satellite. So I know what you are thinking: You just made the switch to cable, but nope we completely pulled the plug and now we are saving more than $100 a month on television.

***This post was originally written in 2016, but I thought I would update it with what we are using now, new pricing, etc.***

We were criticized by our family when we first decided to do it. "How are you going to watch the Olympics?" "How are you going to watch 'A Christmas Story' all day on Christmas?" Serious questions, y'all. And at first, we hadn't worked out all the kinks yet. My husband did a lot of research and now I want to share all of our tips and tricks to help you save over $100 by breaking up with cable/satellite for good!

For many people, finding that they are unable or unlikely to conceive naturally may be upsetting. Even if you don't want children, being told that you won't be able to have them may have a significant influence on your life and your view on the future. When couples learn that having a child naturally isn't an option, they often struggle, and it's not uncommon for relationships to fall apart as a result of broken hearts and a desire for a child.

Do you know that 1 in 3 adults is affected by high blood pressure in the UK? In England, 35% of men and 26% of women have high blood pressure. The astonishing part is that half of those patients are not diagnosed or getting treatment. Around 5 million people in England alone are not diagnosed, costing the NHS around $2 billion every year.

Blood pressure is the measure of the strength by which your heart pumps the blood around your body. High blood pressure is associated with an unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking, being overweight, drinking, not exercising etc.

When it comes to the physical symptoms of high blood pressure, there aren’t any. For most, high blood pressure is something that develops over the years due to the lifestyle they have. There is no single reason as it is an accumulation of several factors.
