Getting Help for a Contested Divorce?

Getting Help for a Contested Divorce?

Wording for a Pay Your Own Way Birthday Party?

10 Month Old Child Can't Sit Up By Herself?

Income Ideas for a Stay at Home Mom?
One option would be to babysit another child or two. My sitter was getting $10/hour for my preschooler. Lets say you get $15/hour for 2 kids. Even if you only have them 20 hours, youd be earning $300/week. Or if my figures are off for your area, plan to have...

Heres a good article on this; I believe my mother takes some form of Parkinsons meds for it. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/restless-legs-syndrome/DS00191/DSECTION=treatments-and-drugs
No Toys As Gifts For The Holidays
Why not ask a relative to send only one toy and/or suggest books? This is too extreme. The kids will start counting the day until they can make their own choices, because here the choice is being taken from them. There are many ways the family could work together...
Boy's 7th Birthday Party Theme Ideas?
When my daughter turned 7, we had a Scooby-Doo party, but you could simply make it a detective party. When the kids came in, we sat them down for a snack, to be followed by cake. I brought in an empty cake plate with a note saying it was their job to solve...
What is This Plant?
That looks like a kalanchoe. Mine only flowers infrequently also. If you take cuttings they will root and live in water very happily---even on a North-facing window. They probably wont flower, but the green is nice to see in the winter.

Introducing a Pit Bull to Cats?
Maybe she wants them for dinner. Not all dogs do well with cats. Keep them separated for at least a week. Let them smell each other under the door, but thats it. Try rubbing the cats with a towel and the dog with a towel; leave these around for the other animals...
Fundraising Ideas for Girls Softball Team?

Planning a Wedding and Reception for $1500?
The first place is where to have it. If you have a friend or relative w/a big yard, thats your best bet, because its likely that state parks, etc. will be booked already. (But it doesnt hurt to check.) Call your local town hall and see if they have any suggestions...
Flavoring Sun Tea?
There is definitely a school of thought that suggests it is NOT safe to make sun tea, because the sun can cause bacteria to grow in the water. Please consider this article before you proceed: http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/5F6B2169-4714-4659-B930-B7356DD5F601...
Dog Is Frightened Of Boyfriend?
I had a cat, now deceased, who HATED my new boyfriend. Well, guess what, the cat was totally right. He seemed like a nice young man and he turned out to be a very unstabile person. The cat and I were together 14 years. 4 months with the boyfriend was more than...
Getting Over A Break Up?
This really worked for me, IMMEDIATELY, even though it sounds silly. Go to the library or look on amazon.com for a used copy of something like Men Who Love to Hate Women Who Love to Love Them (not a real title, but you get the picture). When you read all the...
Teaching Letters and Numbers?
Try teaching her in the tub while shes a captive audience. We bought foam letters made for the tub and we would hold them up individually and make up silly songs like Jumping J. My daughter learned them all at 18 months, just by doing this during baths. Now...
