Suicide Prevention

SuicidePrevention

It doesn’t have to be a specific month or week to talk about suicide prevention.  There are so many out there suffering and need help.  We need to work together and do our parts to help on another.

Labor Your Weekend

I hope you all are having a safe, and relaxing weekend. If you are fortunate to have a long weekend off, remember to take time for family, laughs, and a good BBQ! Life is just too short for stress and worry.

I was fortunate to spend my Sunday giving back to the community. I had a table setup with loads of great info for kids, parents, and grandparents. Not everyone has access to information on how to care for their kids, so I do my best to provide it for those who need it.

That was my table filled to the brim with free goodies!

A shot of me beforehand. It was so gross and humid today my hair didn’t stand a chance. Oh, well, right? I am available to set up at other local events in the area. Contact me for details.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! 🎉😎
