Spring savings are in bloom at PromotionalCodes.com With OurKidsMom & Makobi Scribe Spring is quickly jumping into summerlike weather here in Missouri and I have Spring Cleaning Fever.

Planning for the Future with My Directives | Relieve Your Family From Emotional Burden

This past month has been eye opening for myself and our family. My Dad had an unexpected illness that put him in the hospital for nearly a month so far. He has been confused and forgetful throughout the entire time. Fortunately for him we were able to get a health care directive and Power of Attorney signed before he wasn’t fit to sign. This journey has been hard on myself… not just because it was hard to see my Dad in that condition, but … [Read more...]
