Spring Break Boredom Busters

It is always a good idea to keep some Boredom Busters on hand when you have kids. Especially for those days when you have no clue how to keep them busy, when you have a ton of things to get done. Spring break is coming up and I know I will have a few of those days myself. I put together a list of some suer fun activities that I am sure your kids will love and they wont even know you are trying to keep them busy. I can’t wait to try a few of these new ones with my own kids. Not only do they look fun, but you can make all of them educational!

You don’t have to be a Pinterest Princess to pull any of these off and letting your kids get messy while learning is better than popping in a movie any day. To me, it’s so important to help your kids use their minds and helps them to develop leadership skills.

Making the Hardest Decision of My Life – A Double Mastectomy

If you have read the rest of my journey up to this point, you would know we left off shortly after having a breast MRI. The results of those images led me to need yet another mammogram followed by another ultrasound. Up until this point I had 23 appointments between all of the scans, in-person […]

Finding Multiple Breast Lumps and Needing an MRI

After the first mammogram I found myself back at the breast surgeon for the test results. Much to my surprise, there were multiple cysts found during the scan and the surgeon needed to take a closer look. Once the lengthly ultrasound scan was complete, he said I simply had too many cysts and he could […]

Finding the First Lump

Found a lump. Now what? Finding the first lump was a total fluke. It wasn’t because I was doing the heroic thing of performing a self-exam, like all women should do. Given my family history of breast cancer, you’d think this would be something I was already doing. I could come up with many excuses […]
