Who We Are

the-fun-times-guide-to-pregnancy

A fun Pregnancy and Parenting Blog where you’ll find honest advice from new parents.

A wide range of pregnancy health concerns — including issues involved with getting pregnant & infertility, pregnancy side effects, and symptoms of pregnancy that some women experience (and some don’t).

Plus, helpful tips and ideas from first-time moms like yourself, who’ve recently experienced the exact same things that you’re experiencing!

There’s lots of FUN stuff too — like tons of freebies for expectant parents, gift ideas for mom and baby, and personal reviews of the best “mom necessities” that every pregnant woman needs and “baby necessities” that every child needs.

Plus, interactive ideas and clever ways to spend your time with your new bundle of joy — from birth through toddlerhood… school… and beyond.

If you’re a mom-to-be (or dad-to-be) who’s expecting a baby soon, or you’re trying to figure things out now that you’re a first-time parent… you’ve come to the right place!

So sit back & relax and enjoy this journey through the many stages of pregnancy. We’ll help you through the ups & downs while you’re pregnant as well as the joys and frustrations after your baby is born… and growing… and exploring… and learning new things in life.

Our hope is that you’ll find some fun pregnancy tips and little-known facts along the way that will save you time & money — as well as bring you some peace of mind.

This is where real moms are sharing their personal experiences to help other first-time parents.

My favorite things to write about are topics that have to do with weather, pregnancy, weddings, saving money, living green, and my life with dogs. When I'm not writing, I love to spend time with my husband, read, create 3D artwork and Native American beadwork.

I’m a new mom. I work from home and I write — mostly about my outdoor adventures, DIY projects, newly discovered products, and helpful tips as a first-time mom. I also like to share details about the alternative choices I’m exploring as I enjoy this journey called motherhood. My family includes a toddler, 2 stepchildren, 1 dog, 1 cat, and a wonderful husband. My pre-pregnancy life was full of freedom and adventure, so I have a fresh new perspective when it comes to walking away from a career to become a full time stay-at-home Mama.

I have been a certified tightwad since I became pregnant with my first child and decided to find a way to stay home with him. I enjoy sharing my experiences in my journey back to financial health and planning for a future -- which will include sending 2 kids to college and early retirement.

I like to help people find unique ways to do things in order to save time & money -- so I write about "outside the box" ideas that most wouldn't think of. As a lifelong dog owner, I often share my best tips for living with and training dogs. I worked in Higher Ed over 10 years before switching gears to pursue activities that I'm truly passionate about. I've worked at a vet, in a photo lab, and at a zoo -- to name a few. I enjoy the outdoors via bicycle, motorcycle, Jeep, or RV. You can always find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
