Help Wanted. I saw one of those signs a few days ago. In fact, during the summer months, they are everywhere. Stores are packed to the brim with tourists and young children, and managers need a few extra hands to help make the sales happen. College students, looking for a way to make extra money
On our recent family vacation, we had the opportunity to go to a water park. I knew that the resort had this feature, but I hadn’t been able to view any pictures of it on their website. I had very low expectations and was pleasantly surprised when we walked up and saw 4 huge water
My first dream job as a pediatrician was at a small clinic. There were 3 other doctors who were well established there with a wealth of experience. Fresh out of training, I was grateful to start this journey under their wings. They taught me everything, from correctly identifying rashes to properly using medical records to
Last week, we traveled down to Mexico with some of our friends. After a long day of traveling, we finally made it to our resort. We were starving and headed to the first restaurant on the property that we could find. The place that we chose was next to the pool and wide open. The

My husband and I recently finished a television series called “Kim’s Convenience”. It’s the story of a Korean family that immigrated to Canada. They run a convenience store and are very active in their Korean Christian church. They have a son and daughter, and over the few seasons, it depicts the challenges of raising a
Goat scream. That’s what my kids call my cheer from the sidelines. There’s no mistaking Mama’s scream. Just imagine the screaming goat from the movie, The Grinch. If you haven’t seen it, you need to look it up online. Needless to say, it isn’t pretty. I don’t know how to explain the bubble of joy
