Rainbow Wall Painting: DIY Rainbow Wall Mural On a Budget!

I did an entire rainbow wall painting mural for less than $85 and it was customized to the colors. Before I started I researched a few rainbow wallpapers, which can be pricey, and I did not have the help, I would need to stick them on the wall. In addition, I did not want any damage to…

Child Custody Provisions in a High-Conflict Divorce

Co-parent

If you feel you will struggle with co-parenting and communication in a high-conflict divorce, these are some items I put in my child custody agreement. I am not a lawyer but I wanted extra protection and boundaries. This also applies to child custody agreements if you were not married to your co-parent. After the first modification in our decree, I felt necessary items for my and my child’s well-being dealing with a combative ex that lacks boundaries. I pushed for “extras” during mediation because they are court-ordered and can be enforced. Here are some suggestions (I am not a professional,…
