4th of July: Celebrate Safely

Hey, all you Busy Women!

 Courtney and I want to wish you a very happy and safe 4th of July! However, I'd also like to remind you how quickly things can go awry when it comes to fireworks.

 This is my neighbor's shed.

It stored a lot of important inventory for their small business, as well as family momentos and cherished items. The photo was taken by the local Fire Department. As you can see, it had a bad day.

 This was the cause of some others in our neighborhood shooting off illegal fireworks.

 I can't tell you how scary it was to look outside and see part of your neighborhood on fire. I'm sure some of you have witnessed or been through something like this.

 It made me realize how easily this could've been one of our homes...or my home.

 So last night, while our neighborhood rang out with the booms of mortars and ariel fireworks and my dog cowered under the couch because of it, the fiancé and I went around checking smoke detectors, shutting doors and taking pictures of our valuables (basically, everything in our home).

 You may be asking, "why closing doors?"

 Closed doors can be a big help in slowing a fire, but it's a huge help in containing smoke damage.

 Here's a video to skim through that illustrates this perfectly.


 I was still very nervous, so I formed a plan in my head to get ourselves and our pup out safely in case we were awoken to our home ablaze.

 I'm honestly a little disappointed in myself that we hadn't already done these things, but I can sleep a little easier knowing that it's done and we have a plan in case the worst happens.

 So, be safe, make a plan, and enjoy our Nation's Birth a little lighter this year knowing you're prepared.

 Take care and Happy 4th,

 Carly

    On Independence Day, most Americans use fireworks to express their happiness. I also love watching fireworks on 4th July, but I like to secure my safety before watching fireworks. Assignment Writing Services

Social Media Lies

No, contrary to what you see on social media, my life isn't all fun times with the kiddo and date nights with the husband. I don't wear makeup and heels just to be around the house, although I am sure my husband wouldn't mind if I did.  I also don't plan every waking moment that my child is awake and not in school to be filled with outings to Chuck E. Cheese, ice skating or concerts.  Now, I know my child would be happy if I did, but that is just not realistic.                           I love sharing photos with friends and family and I want them to look nice.  I really am not sure why though.  I will totally and happily show up to your house in my most comfortable pair of sweatpants, ratty sweatshirt, no makeup and hair doing something, looking like Tom Hanks in the middle of Castaway, and I won't have a second thought about it.   And I am not alone in this dilemma of social media etiquette.  If that's what you want to call it.  I have scrolled thro

Cough Tea

It’s that time of year.  The time that, to me, is worse than spring. The time that brings the fall cough!  You know the one. The one that never really goes away and you’ve had so long you’re not sure when it first appeared. It’s the same one that you don’t want to go to the doctor for because you’re positive it’s just something that has blown about with the change of seasons.  I like to call it the “allergy faker.”  Like Carly with her constant sinus fight, I have the constant cough fight. And although I always win, the shorter I have to deal with it the better.   I also have to think about the fact that I have a child and he and his friends are in and out constantly, and I’d really prefer they not share anything with me. Lord knows no parent wants to start that viscous circle of sick.  So, that’s where my favorite cough-away recipe comes in. It’s delicious, aids sleep and it’s for adults only!  Wellness Tea  and Whiskey, two new best friends.   Th

Covid-19: A Message From A Front Line Health Care Worker

Hello friends, I hope this message finds you well.  Through out the recent weeks, and the onslaught of the Covid-19 pandemic, I have been struggling on what to say.  I have been trying to keep a positive outlook, telling myself that we'll be okay. That everything will go back to normal eventually, but as we've seen, so much changes from day to day that it's hard to know what the future holds right now. It's scary. It can be overwhelming. We've never seen anything like this. Some of us are in major hotspots and some, thankfully, are in more sheltered pockets. The reality of the situation is that we are all affected. I am writing this from my home office, a place that I have spent much much more time in recently, especially in the wake of the governor of Colorado, Jared Polis' stay-at-home orders. Being that I am a member of the media, I have been deemed "essential." Like many of us, I have special documentation from Washington, D.C. that
