How often do you pause to think what others might think of the choices you make? Daily? Every time you’re about to make a life-changing choice? When you buy/invest in anything for yourself, do you do it for others, or do you think of yourself first and how you’ll feel about it?… I’ll tell you this, I stopped caring what others* thought about my life choices a while back, because you know what? They don’t pay my bills and they don’t live my life. *By others I mean strangers. My family comes first and I will consult with them because it is important to have people you trust in your…

BABY OR NO BABY?… THAT IS THE QUESTION!
Picture this… You’re at a dinner party or your best friend’s BBQ. Drinks are flowing, the music is perfect, appetizers are delicious, and disappearing quickly. You and your SO (doesn’t really matter if you’re married, nor for how long) are happily chatting away and making jokes with your friends and/or family.

It’s not that we…
