Affordable Student Insurance
Medical Insurance… it is two words we love or hate right? During these times in the economy, several families are having to face that they no longer have medical insurance. We had to face this in our own family. At first, it can seem there are no afforable options but just breathe in and relax. The main thing is to do your research and see what your family budget can afford. One option that was brought to my attention is with United HealthCare Student Insurance.

Day 12 Thankful for Time in NYC
Today I am thankful for getting one on one time with my two daughters M and L in NYC. I was nervous about taking them, but the nervousness totally went away once we got into the city. The first task to cover was getting L on the plane. She did NOT want to fly at all. I stayed really positive and upbeat with her and the plane ride went so smoothly. Both girls were just amazed and kept looking out the windows. L was teary eyed when we first got on, but after she realized how cool it was, she had everyone laughing on the plane.

When we finally decided to get one, we just knew L’s eyes would light up and were they ever. Kingston and L are truly best of friends. She is always asking if he can go to school with her. She misses him so much. They roll in the floor together and play and play and play. Let me just show you in pictures

Today I am thankful for getting up enough courage to go give blood for the first time! I have always wanted to but kept putting it off because I thought it would hurt. Now, I have never been afraid of giving blood at the dr’s office, but I knew at the blood drives you have to give a whole lot of blood. I walked in and had the biggest smile on my face and knew I was going to DO THIS. I took my oldest daughter with me for moral support. I only had to wait about 10 minutes before they called my name to come on back. They checked my iron levels and did my blood pressure. At first she said my blood pressure in my right arm and it was 160 over something… I was like ummm not
