Sick People

Last night, I was flipping through channels and I saw one of my favorite shows when I was a kid on BET.  It was Different Strokes.. Oh, how I loved that show back in the days. I had a small crush on Willis too, lol.  I think I saw each episode at least 3 times.  That is how much I used to love watching it.  I loved the song, the Dad and of course the HUGE apartment.  Sometimes I would wish I could live in the same apartment.  Ahh, the good ol' days.. … [Read more...]

Works for me Wednesday

I have two tips for everyone!  1--If you are having trouble with your children sleeping, try an air purifier.. Not the quiet ones, you need to buy the ones that are quite noisy.  White noise = peaceful sleeping in our house.  I have 3 kids and thank goodness, none of my kids have sleeping problems.  They all started sleeping the whole night at 2 months old.  They each have their own air purifier  in their rooms and once they turn it on, they are knocked … [Read more...]
