Marshall Fire rebuilding: Understanding your mortgage and loan options

Did the fires leave you wondering what t...
How to Make Your Home Smell Good Cheaply and Naturally
Nobody likes a smelly home, but daily life sometimes stinks! If you have pets, the occasional wet dog odor or litter box aroma is sure to be noticeable. Got teenage boys? They’re notorious for leaving a trail of funk wherever they go. And let’s not forget the kitchen garbage the day after slicing fresh produce for a salad or vegetable soup.
However, scented candles or room sprays aren’t always effective or eco-friendly. They’re also decidedly expensive.
So, here’s how to make your home smell ...
Keto And Hormones: Reasons to Test Hormones Before Going Keto
Before recommending any major dietary changes — including a ketogenic diet — it’s best for patients to get a baseline assessment of their current health. This may include a comprehensive metabolic panel as well as updated weight and blood pressure readings. Of course, you’ll also order panels related to any illnesses or long-term health conditions they are managing, such as heart disease or an autoimmune disease.
However, one area patients may not think to evaluate is their hormone levels and...
Are Rabbits Rodents?
Heck, no! They're furry, gentle creatures that make engaging house pets for us to adore.
What Are Rabbits?
Technically speaking, rabbits are classified as mammals. This means they are warm-blooded, have fur or hair, and have live births – and don't lay eggs as the Easter Bunny might suggest. Rabbits have short fluffy tails, cute wiggly noses, a soft fur coat, strong hind legs for jumping, and can weigh anywhere from 2 to 16 lbs, depending on age and type.
Did you know they are fast runners to...

A Sign It’s Time to Spring Clean My Blog and Make Website Updates
I spent the last half hour looking for a blog post — that I wrote — on THIS website. I know the topic and angle, but for the life of me, none of the keywords that are popping into my head are locating the piece.
I’m frustrated.
It’s time to do some spring cleaning around here. This will include updating keywords in old posts, removing outdated information, adding new resources and links where it makes sense and updating old CTAs.

12 Years Into a Celiac Disease Diagnosis: Managing New Symptoms
Last Friday I woke up to numb fingertips. Then, the tingly sensation spread over my hands, leaving me unable to maneuver much of anything, including my keyboard.
I called my doctor and was in her office within an hour.
We discussed my history and she narrowed in on the Celiac Disease listed in my charts. We talked at length about my diligence with a gluten-free diet and how this autoimmune illness may be the source of my numb fingers.
Interestingly, I learned that although malnourishment from...
How to Plan Family Trips on a Budget
That being said, the pandemic likely drained (or is about to drain) any vacation savings you might’ve had tucked away. And you’re not alone. Economists are saying that many working and middle-class households’ “excess savings” could be wholly exhausted by early next year. This probably solidifies a no-go for flashy vacations.
But there are ways to make getaways financially possible, while still being fun for the whole fam. Let’s dive into how to plan family trips on a budget.

Find Affordable Skincare for Your Routine
Maintaining a consistent skincare routine is essential if you want a bright, clear complexion — but those elaborate routines you’ve likely seen on social media with dozens of steps and products look confusing and expensive. It’s far easier to slap on some moisturizer and go to bed, right?
Technically, yes. But it’s also entirely possible to find affordable skincare products that meet all kinds of needs (not just moisturizing!) so you can get the skin you want. You can have several goodies in ...
DIY Upcycled Planter Ideas From Your Home
Okay, so you’re here because gardening is your passion. Pothos on the patio? Aloe on the armoire? Maybe some basil basking in the sun on the kitchen windowsill? We get it.

Might you be willing to experiment with a DIY upcycled planter? It’ll give your home so much personality. After all, a little greenery looks good...
