Easy Crockpot recipe, perfect for busy nights
Anna Hall
This is my favorite easy meal to make on those busy weekday nights. The ingredients don't cost much, prep time is minimal and the result is a yummy meal for your whole family to enjoy. Since this is made in the Crockpot, you can throw in the ingredients, set it... and forget it. Hours later, dinner is done. While the meal cooks, it fills your entire house with an appetizing aroma, and the smell of a home-cooked meal is one of the most comforting smells.

Its Bug Season!
According to the National Pest Management Association, an unseasonably warm winter is expected to bring bugs and pests out of hibernation early this year, meaning we’re in store for prolonged mosquito season. Rather than turning to toxic bug sprays to fight against mosquito-borne viruses like West Nile and Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), Mom’s everywhere can count on PIC® to help protect their families from dangerous mosquito bites with two unique products that provide maximum protection with all-natural ingredients that don’t need to be applied to skin.

The Story of Miss Grace
A local mom spreading awareness about Melanoma/Skin cancer
May is melanoma/skin cancer awareness month. For us, we are aware of it on a daily basis.
I took Grace (our youngest of 3 kids) to see her doctor about a bump on her arm. Everyone kept telling us it was nothing more than a wart. I'm no doctor but it was really bothering me and I had never seen a wart grow like this was. It was obviously bothersome to her because she was picking at it and this caused it to bleed.
The nurse practitioner agreed ...
