*Article was made possible by site supporter Amanda Green Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans The Different Types of Health Care Insurance Some things can be very confusing, and no amount of deliberation can ever lead to good decisions without the input of knowledgeable, skilled and experienced experts. That is the sad truth, especially for healthcare insurance. The American health care policies keep on changing in the subtleties of wording and spirit. However, no matter how they change, the concept of health insurance only grows bolder, broader and more competitive. Government policy heavily affects the market through robust funding and stringent funding, yet, the market is still free because of the forces of demand and supply. Did you know that the Medicare idea, that was once perceived to be a monopoly in healthcare provision, is now popularly referred to as the original Medicare? Fortunately, insurance companies are now offering a product that is similar to Medicare. The … [Read more...]

6 Unpleasant Pregnancy Side Effects
**Article was made possible by site supporter Amanda Green 6 Unpleasant Pregnancy Side Effects Having a little one growing inside you is beautiful. From the first day when you find out that you are pregnant to when you start buying the little clothes. When you hold your little one, the journey is one to behold. Unfortunately, the pregnancy journey can be a bit bumpy. Here are the common pregnancy ill effects and how to manage them. 1. Low iron Low iron is a common issue, especially during the third trimester. At this time, the mother is already feeling very tired and low iron levels only aggravate the problem. You can opt for one of the many iron supplements in the market, but make sure you consult a medic before taking any medication. Increasing iron in the body through diet is the most viable option as it doesn't have any side effects. Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits. Avoid caffeine drinks because the tannins in the beverages bind to iron and impede with its … [Read more...]

Here’s Why Investing Should Be a Part of Every Budget
**Article was made possible by site supporter Amanda Green Here's Why Investing Should Be a Part of Every Budget Far too many people see budgeting and investing as an either/or proposition. In reality, it is more like both/and. Choosing between the two is a little like choosing between a stirring wheel and tires. You need both if you hope to make any progress. Budgeting is all about keeping family finances afloat. It is about making ends meet. It is all about managing finances in the present. Investing has little to do with the present. It is all about the future. It is a way of increasing your finances and changing your circumstances down the road. If all you ever focus on is surviving the here and now, you will never get ahead, or do better than what you are doing right now. Your budget assumes that you will make the same amount of money next month as you make this month. Investing strives for making the future better than things are today. It is about advancing … [Read more...]

Determining When DIY Won’t Cut It
**Article was made possible by site supporter Amanda Green Determining When DIY Won't Cut It Many homeowners do a lot of their home maintenance themselves. Some choose to do so for enjoyment, while others are simply trying to keep the budget under control. Whatever the reasons, it can be a good way to achieve needed goals while spending less money. Of course, the most important thing to think about when doing home maintenance is whether it's a job you are really up to doing yourself or whether it's something that calls for the expertise of a professional. It can be very easy to get in over your head, or simply not get good results. What we all need is some guidance on how to know what we can handle and when we should call professional help. To get started, consider some of these factors. The Ability of a Layperson to Do the Job Some things are inherently out of the question for DIY. A very common situation is pest control.

New Baby!
New Baby! I can't believe that I only have 50 days left before Baby Girl is set to be here. It's crazy how fast this pregnancy has flown. I was really hoping to 'treasure' my pregnancy and focus on every moment but I must admit that it has not yet been able to happen. The first half of the pregnancy I kept forgetting I was even pregnant. I had absolutely no symptoms. It was actually very relaxing and wonderful to not worry about all the morning sickness like I had with my last pregnancy. When I hit the half way point it seemed like things in life started to spin out of control. I was dealing with a pre-teen phase with my oldest and potty training my current youngest. I just did not have time to "relax". Now that I am nearing the end I have been able to breath a bit more. However the holidays kept me busy and now I only have 7 weeks to nest and get everything in order. We finally moved our youngest into her "big girl room" and I can now focus on getting my home in … [Read more...]
