I'm a single mom who has recently medically retired from an awesome career. Since I am no longer working, I have been searching the internet for ways to save money on everything.

They are in elementary school, are excellent students and play sports. They keep me going on days when I don't feel like going.
I am a retired therapist for adoptive/foster children. This is common in children when we are not sure of their history. If they had been abused they may be experiencing flashbacks or fears which can lead to wetting. Or, it may be developmental.

A lot of dog food has fillers that aren't so healthy. Researching the best, natural dog food would be your best bet. ... View related article.
I too use the magic eraser and it works wonders. I don't use soap or cleaner on the eraser but just plain water. Once I get the sticky soap scum off, I use soap on the eraser to make the tub shine.
