What It’s like to Become a Young Mom
June 28th 2016. Positive pregnancy test. I honestly wasn’t expecting for it to come out positive. I mean, you always have that chance of getting pregnant if you’re sexually active, but I didn’t think it was ACTUALLY going to happen. A flood of emotions hit me, it was one of those things you can’t help but think back and picture your own face.

My IVF Journey, Part 1
Pregnancy... one of the world's greatest experiences for most. For those dreaming to become parents, it's such a joyous occasion when you find out you're pregnant. It's even super exciting when you just find out. Me... oh, that's not my story. My story isn't as easy as "Oh, I got off the pill after nine years and three months later I was pregnant and now I have a beautiful, healthy baby." No. Mine is going to take a little longer than that.

Why Crocs Need to Leave
As a child, I lived on an alpaca ranch with 24 different alpacas and llamas. At the time, I was a young girl and Hunter rain boots weren't appealing due to their significant lack of fun patterns. So instead of buying myself a decent pair of rain boots, I, or rather my parents, bought me a pair of Crocs. To be specific, they were bright, hot pink and we made sure to get the charms that you stuck to the top of the clogs in shapes ranging from flowers to hearts and everything in between. I became OBSESSED with the Crocs, along with the rest of my classmates. I distinctly remember my grade school squad and I getting matching swamp green Crocs and Shrek charms to go with them, mind you I was young and foolish. So why would someone with such fond memories of the iconic American brand, want to get rid of them? Because my friends, it has gone too far.

Loving the Snow
My three year old dachshund, Zack, loves the snow! This wasn't always the case when he was younger. Early on he'd hop around getting used to the cold but soon figured out that he loved the taste and the cold on his tongue. He even likes ice cubes from the freezer! As much as he loves the snow, he hates the rain. The first time he was out and about and the snow turned to rain, he looked pissed! How dare his precious snow turn to rain! I couldn't put the umbrella up fast enough! Anyway, getting back to the snow, he'll try to eat the snow and even make a path from our front walk to the grass and sidewalk beyond. He'll push the snow around with his snout in a zig zag pattern wandering from place to place. He even tries to eat the snow as it's falling! Just like a kid trying to catch a snowflake on his tongue. My family laughs every time he ends up with snow on his snout. I'd say he almost loves winter more than any other season just because of the snow. And if there's a "big snow" he seems extra excited to get outside.

5 Ways to Protect Your Children Online in the Age of Malware
The theme of this year's Safer Internet Day, which is marked every January 6 is Create, Connect, and Share Respect. There is no better time to focus on the safety of children than now. While it has opened unimaginable doors, the internet is not a safe playground for children.
