As a kid growing up, before technology took over, my favourite activity to do with my friends was to play board games. \u00a0One of my favourite games was THE GAME OF LIFE. \u00a0There were the small\u00a0cars, cute pink and blue peg people, and it was fun seeing what “job” you would have and how big your family would get. While I haven’t played THE GAME OF LIFE since my childhood, I’ve been living out the game in reality.<\/p>\n

Just like in the game, I went to University, got a job, got married and had kids. While in THE GAME OF LIFE you get rewarded with money for having kids, in real-life, kids mean more spending and more challenges. \u00a0My biggest challenge came when I had my own kids and my lack of preparedness or knowing how to “parent”. \u00a0Recently after having my third son I found myself struggling… it’s been challenging to keep up with the house demands, my personal demands, my blog and most importantly staying awake to spend quality time with my boys. \u00a0The truth of the matter is I needed help and there was no denying it. \u00a0At the urge of my husband, I sought\u00a0help and hired a nanny part-time. \u00a0As well, I got my mom to help me out. \u00a0Both are only temporary, until I get my feet back on the ground and some more sleep (i.e. uninterrupted). Sometimes it’s not always easy asking for help, but I know that in this case, it was the best solution for both myself and my kids.\u00a0In all aspects of life, sometimes you need help. \u00a0When that includes help on the road, CAA is there!<\/p>\n
