So long muffin top…

July 6, 2010

Yeah, so I definitely gained some weight during my pregnancy. I have about 40 lbs to lose. I lost a good bit right after Ian was born but then I just stopped. I think being up most of the night with Ian and having to eat at midnight is a big problem. I wish I [...]

Oh the high fructose corn syrup debate is sickening

July 1, 2010

I am so tired of seeing this “Sweet Surprise.com” commercial in defense of high fructose corn syrup. It is a bit sugar coated. Yeah, the irony. Their big argument is that it is “fine in moderation.” Ha! So is salt but manufacturers of mass produced pre-prepared food are killing us with that too. The problem [...]

Okay I admit it…

August 19, 2009

I have had easy pregnancies in the past… obviously. This one is doing a number on me. Maybe it is because I am ten years older this time around or maybe my mom is right and it is a girl. All I know is I am no good to anyone after 2 pm. I can’t [...]

Amen!

January 2, 2009

Thank you all for praying for me while I went through my little sick spell. There is nothing like a little bit of the flu and the rotavirus to knock you off of your feet. Our relationship lasted a bit longer than I would have liked and it left me a bit dehydrated but after [...]

A New Cold Drink

December 10, 2008

Strep throat with a cold (or flu) has been making it’s way through our home – one person at a time. It is no fun. Two weeks of this is enough. But… I thought I’d share a few things that I have learned through this: Warm water with lemon and ginger does work better than [...]

So Here Is My Dilemma…

October 8, 2008

I am inviting you to give me a good swift kick in the rear. I have claimed a frame of mind that is not quite working out for me. You see, we want to have a baby. For months we have tried to get pregnant but… we haven’t yet. Which leads me to the dilemma:I [...]

Non-Traditional Exercise and Dieting

July 19, 2008

There are a few basics to a healthy lifestyle. The most effective plan I have found is to eat right, exercise, drink plenty of water, and get enough sleep. We all have this desire to be healthy. Most of us would like to drop down a couple of dress sizes. Some of us simply need [...]

My Little Container Garden

June 23, 2008

I am so excited about my little garden. We didn’t have the opportunity this year to plant a garden outdoors but we did purchase a few pots, some organic soil, and some organic seeds and planted one indoors. I water them each morning and put them outside on our table for a few hours each [...]
