HumboldtGurl: ehealthinsurance is an insurance broker. You put your data and they give you quotes for various ins companies. Then you fill out an application and the insurance company evaluates it...

I think catastrophic means that your deductible is pretty big - 5,000 or more. In essence this means that you end up paying for your regular check-ups out of pocket, but if something major happens,...

Lol, Mrs-M:

My little one is exactly at that stage. He, too loves to snuggle with his big sister, but unfortunately for him, she does not take kindly to being woke up in the middle of the night.

I buy my own health insurance through ehealthinsurance.com. When the renewal came up, I decided to check what my plan would be as a new customer. Turns out, my renewal rate is $36 per month more than...

This is amazing info! Zoebird, yes, I would like to hear more about creating family rhythms.

I also noticed that an unhappy parent makes for an unhappy child. I think that sometimes our culture...

I agree. I mostly see the behavior in cases involving death (inheritance, life insurance). It's almost like money and death shine a very bright light and magnify jealousy and avarice. I am also...

Couple of posters mentioned that they practice Zen parenting. Could you explain what you do? I would also appreciate examples.

Hi Kat:
I would second the suggestion to try to get her outside in the fresh air.

My little guy's routine is as follows: first he gets some quality play time with his sister, which is usually...

Hi Kat:
I have a son about the same age as your daughter. He will easily fall asleep in his "buzzing" chair. It's a baby chair which kind of like a hammock, so he feels snug and it vibrates gently....

Once you get rid of the stains you can also try dog training pads, which are basically a giant floor diaper. That way you can only pick it up and toss once you get home instead of having to mop, etc.

I think you could do the modified version: "I have achieved our goal of having an emmergency fund. I can now divert $xxx per month towards some projects. What would you like to tackle first?" That...

I think you handled it perfectly. I also have to deal a lot with that kind of stuff.

I have found that the best strategy is not to let it get you and not to react to the sub-text. As somebody...

Hi Mira:
I recently experienced the same frustrating thing. Turns out my baking powder was way out of date. That stuff definately gets less potent over time. I would try the recipes with the same...

I wish you success, boss mare! There is a lot that needs to be done to get you there in 2013 and you seem to be ready. Keep us updated!
