Calm before the “Perfect Storm”
As my friends and family on the East coast get ready for yet another “Perfect Storm” now known as “Frankenstorm”, I am concerned for all of them. Here are some helpful tips on how to get ready if you are a mom or mom to be. The March of Dimes has a list for you from News Moms Need.
Halloween is coming and so, apparently, is a storm to match The Perfect Storm.
