10 Best Pregnancy Apps
There's a ton to look forward to when you're pregnant—especially if it's your first pregnancy. What the gender will be, what he/she will look like, and whether he/she will take after you or your partner. And since everyday is a different day for you and your baby, it's only normal that you want to follow along with the process of your baby growing. Wouldn't you want to know which week your baby is developing her heart or which week your baby is developing his lungs? We shouldn't blindly be pregnant, but constantly be aware of what's happening in our tummies.

Take or Toss
I will admit it. I was that mom—you know the one—the one who is searching frantically at 3 AM while baby is awake and will not go down. So many products come up from the google search, and everyone insists you need their product that it will be a miracle worker. I bought it all. Packages arrived daily and I ripped into them, certain it was the fix to the bags under my eyes and the dragging of my feet.

Securing Your Future's Future
When I started becoming a dad, I immediately thought about my kid's future. Coming from an immigrant family, our parents barely saved up for themselves and had some little savings for us. One good thing my parents taught me is, while we are young, save up for our family to secure comfort and stability when we get old. That involves our future kids. It's that one thing you can do for your kid that you can control. Only you can make it happen if you want it to happen. Parents do what they can for their kids, and with this digital age upon us, there are ways to achieve that.

Best Gifts for Dads That They'll Actually Use
Buying a gift for your dad is always tough. I personally know how tough it is, because I don't particularly know what my father likes. I'm not sure if he'll like the tie I gift him, the coat, or if he's into scented candles. Most people gift their father's toolsets...why? Sure, the majority of dads in a household are the handyman, but how can he always enjoy a box of tools when there isn't anything to fix?

The Newest Toy to Take over My House
So around the beginning of November, I took my daughter with me to Walmart so I could take her down the toy aisles and get an idea of what she may want for Christmas. At first, it was the typical stuff like dolls and dress up stuff. Then we came down the last aisle and she spotted it. A whole section dedicated to "calico critter" toys. We have never had these at our store before so she was so excited when she saw them. I have to admit, as soon as I started looking at them I fell in love with them as well. I was instantly wishing that I had these little critters when I was little. They made me think of a 1950s English look. It definitely looked like something my grandparents (from England) would have sent me on my birthday. I knew I had to get her some for Christmas. So, as soon as I got home I went right to Amazon.com and found exactly what she was looking at for, a better price too!
