How to Throw an Incredible Circus-Themed Birthday Celebration

How to Get Store-Bought, Hardened Slime out of Carpet
Upon giving my three and a half-year-old daughter her first tub of slime to have loads of supervised fun with, I made it a point to tell her father not to allow her to take it to her room. She has a habit of stashing toys in there for nap time. I won't point any fingers here, but this is his fault.

Maybe you just got married, or moved, or had a baby. Maybe you want a place you can fix up your own way. Maybe you just like the idea of being a homeowner. Whatever is motivating you to leave the land of renting for home ownership, you are not alone.

How to Move out as a Teenager—Part Two
So here we are. Your friends have unloaded the last of your things from the boots of their chugging Peugeot cars, and the door clicks shut behind them. Alone, in a hallway of an unfamiliar house you clutch the shiny new keys that you will, inevitably torture yourself over losing and finding from here on out-seriously, first thing first... get a lanyard.

How to Move Out as a Teenager—What You Must Consider. Top Story - December 2018.
I moved out of my family home at 18-years-old. I was not kicked out, but circumstances within the home became very difficult, to the point that I found that it was an impossible place to live. To do so, would mean that I would go backwards rather than forwards in recovering from depression and mental illness. It was a painful and disappointing endeavor, but one I am glad I made. It had seemed impossible, I didn't know where to begin and I needed to move quickly.
