 Now that I'm halfway through my pregnancy, I wanted to get myself something so I could listen to my baby's heartbeat without waiting for my next prenatal visit. As I perused the many prenatal heartbeat monitors available for purchase on Amazon, I came across Bjingles. It was the only one that was within my budget range, and had decent reviews.

As soon as the product arrived in the mail, I set it up so I could use it. The package containing the monitor also contained headphones, earbuds, a wire to connect the monitor to your phone, a 9 volt battery, and the monitor piece itself.

 I settled in and used the monitor to search for my baby's heartbeat. After getting used to how the machine works, I finally heard the heartbeat. It was strong and fast, and it was music to my ears. I spent a good 5 minutes listening to the heartbeat, and smiling at the sound.
I have to admit, I've used the machine everyday ever since.

I have to tell you, if you do buy this monitor, it can be quite noisy. If you aren't sensitive to the occasional loud noises that you may hear as you move the monitor around on your stomach, the monitor should be fine.

There is an app for Bjingles, where you can record the baby's heartbeat, and even play lullabies for your baby. I was disappointed to find that there is a fee for the app. Without paying for the full features, the app is useless.
For me, just listening to the baby's heartbeat is worth the $44 I spent.

I will mention that you will need some lubricant to help the monitor glide easily across your stomach. I use baby oil, but you can use coconut oil, lotion, electroglide gel, and others.

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed.
