Eight day "room and board" for a hospital room: $14,976.00.

9 "pokes" by the lab: $2,200.00.


Knowing my little girl is healed and healthy: Priceless.

    Priceless indeed. I'm so glad she's healthy again.

    Still, it's daunting. We have a $6000 per person deductible and it's killing us. Adrienne says she'd work 10 jobs and I understand the sentiment, but not the time management. I'm having a horrible time trying to figure out how to pay off my husband, son and daughter's various medical bills, not to mention the fact that we all need glasses.

    That is so, so, so very true. When my husband and I lost our baby, the total bill rang in around $6500....I'm pretty sure it would have been cheaper to have had a baby......but he says it was all worth it knowing I was okay.

    Love knows no bounds.

    OK, so I was in the hospital in January for three days and did not have any surgeries... Why was my bill $24,000?? I think I got ripped off!!

    I don't think we can ever put a price on our children but it certainly makes living in Australia a joy.

    All public hospital stays and operations covered by medicare which comes out of our tax, so you don't even notice it.

    Glad your daughter is happy and healthy :)

    Cheers, Fi

    I am so glad your daughter is doing well! I can't imagine...I thank God everyday that my children are healthy.
    And will say extra special thanks for living in Canada....I've had 1 knee surgery, 3 pregnancies - one of which involved a 5 week in hospital stay due to pre-term labour risk, and 3 C-Sections:
    total cost to me?
    0. yes, that's a Zero.

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story !

You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out.
