Reasons Why You Should Visit Baltimore Over Other East Coast Cities

Maxine on Hearing Aids | #maxine
My dad recently got some hearing aids. When mom described what all the new hearing aids can do, Andy and I were floored. Talk about technical! I'm not sure that my dad got this particular kind, but did you know that they now make hearing aids to where you can connect it to your television, somehow, and turn the volume of the TV up and down in your ears? The volume can be completely down on the TV, but you can hear it in your hearing aid! Crazy huh? She also said that they wanted her to go to dad's…
Kylie’s 8th Grade Dance – #WordlessWednesday | #8thgradedance #beauty #ww
Kylie attended her first dance last weekend. Since she's not allowed to date until she's 16, we allowed her to go with one of her friends from church. We (my mom, his mom, and I) took them to eat before the dance, and we dropped them off. When it was over, we all went and picked them up! They had a good time, but neither of them are really "dancers" and the music was different that what their used to!

Healthy Eating Habits for Teenage Boys | #teens #health #food
The “awkward” teenage years are fraught with many challenges, especially for growing boys. For some, growth spurts and hormonal changes can make it almost impossible to maintain a healthy weight.

Real Men Don’t Leave Jobs for Family Reasons — or Do They?
According to the Census Bureau, in the first decade of the 21st century the number of stay-at-home dads more than doubled from 81,000 to 176,000. Also, 45 percent of family caregivers are now male. 40 percent of people caring for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients are male as well.

Societal changes have also had an influence, leading males to pursue alternatives that allow them to spend more time with their families. Unfortunately, many employers view the Family…
