My Airbnb Experiences [Free promotional coupon inside]

Image
I must admit that I am one of the travel junkies. Ideally, I would travel every month if I could. There are so many new places in the world, just begging to be discovered by me! On my travels, I used to book hotels via the common booking portals – trivago, hotels.com and such. It was all fine, at least most of the time. You get what you pay for, right? Hotel room, breakfast and sometimes dinner or some upgrade included. Fast forward a couple of years. I received an invitation from a friend to join the Airbnb. There was even some credit for the first booking attached. To be honest, I did not have a clue at first. True, their website looked rather nice and sharp. But the whole concept – renting apartments from strangers? I was not sure about that. I have received some follow-up emails from Airbnb remaining me about my unused credit. It was $50 at the time, I think. That prompted me to give it a closer look. Tip: scroll down if you’d like to get your free Airbnb coupon for $40+ tha...

Is your toddler ready for potty-training?

I know you wish your toddler walked into the toilet and did the job! We parents want our kids to get rid of diapers and use the potty instead – as early as possible.

The probably little over-anxious parents who refuse to deal with diapers anymore might try to force their toddler into going with toilet before they are prepared. This can be highly detrimental to them, however, You have to wait until your child shows signs of readiness before you go ahead with the training.  If you try to force it early, it will be a very frustrating process for both you and your child.

Thyroid S.O.S.

My diagnosis took nearly 10 years as well – DESPITE – strong family history of Thyroid disease on both sides (which was documented since I have been showing ‘signs’ of becoming hypo since I was about 8). I don’t think they ever actually looked at my history when I would come in with related complaints. OOOOpps 😛 It started with chronic and persistent hives on my legs and a diagnosis of depression. Over the next years, I suffered from exhaustion, hair loss, steady but slow weight gain, eczema, inexplicable joint pain and paralysis. I was told to stop using soap products, I was put on anti-depressants, I was told it was all in my head. Most worrisome – I felt like I was losing my mind – I kept this part to myself since it terrified me. I couldn’t walk from one end of my 600-foot condo without forgetting what I had started out for. I lost two jobs and racked up 30k in debt supporting myself since it happened during the economic downturn and I was unemployed for nearly 8 months. Bare...
