Laura's Blogs Posted on by

Think Zinc ! I did it with COLD-EEZE. Yep. I was putting my son on the school bus one day. One of the other moms that was with me noticed that I had a mean cough that I had for a few weeks. Usually, when I get a cold, I develop first a sore throat for a few days, followed by a couple of sneezes. By then, the sore throat is gone, but then I’m left with a cough that may last for weeks or … Continue reading →

Laura's Blogs Posted on by

What do you give a rabbit for Christmas ?  We thought maybe an extra large bushel of Timothy hay or an entire bag of Romaine lettuce. Then we found the perfect gift. A warm hand-made crocheted hat that even comes with a matching scarf and mittens, but he mostly loved the hat. They matched his eyes so beautifully !

People are forgetting how to pick up the phone and directly communicate with one another. Kids are forgetting how play simple games outdoors and instead are just passively sitting around playing video games. Everywhere you go, people are constantly on the phone, even as they drive. When I talk with a good friend of mine on the phone, she puts … Continue reading →

The pros and cons of free web hosting

Laura's Blogs Posted on by

For me, the era of the free web host’s popularity is largely over (remember Geocities?). However, there are still dozens of sites on the internet that offer free web hosting.
