Whole Foods shot me this article about healthy kids. Normally I don’t post them but this one seemed simple and to the point without a lot of "markety" advice, if you know what I mean. So I decided to post here for other moms and interject my 2 cents just to keep it interesting. (You [...]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…
HUNGER IS NOT AN EMERGENCY!

Just because you weren’t prepared and got stuck at the doctors office does NOT give you permission to go hog wild at dinner. Did you really need that appetizer? You couldn’t wait 10 more minutes for the salad? REALLY?!?! COME ON NOW. You [...]

Well, you don’t have to be a Mom but Moms would more then likely have toddler bowls hanging around!

I don’t know about you but when I weighed out a serving of my favorite breakfast cereals for the first time, I almost cried. It was an eye opening experience to actually see what a serving [...]

Well, for me and this post it did anyway.  Let me explain.
I don’t have much time tonight, it’s my long day at work. So I was just going to post my food journal and head to bed. Well, after analyzing my journal I realized it was a perfect example of what I [...]

Bleh!
I made the Easter baskets tonight and now I feel like a stuffed pig. It’s really my first nibbles at the Easter Candy. Thankfully I only bought one bag of jelly beans (which I don’t even like) and one bag of chocolate eggs. That’s it.  The rest of the basket [...]

(This was a post I wrote as a guest blogger awhile back, I wanted to share it here)
It’s true! Let me explain.
When I was a kid, I longed to be thinner. I wasn’t obese. I wasn’t thin. I was a normal, active child that could possible be considered “chubby” in comparison [...]

After yesterday’s post, I sat down and thought about what my go to snacks are when I’m on the run. These are things I ALWAYS keep in stock to throw in my lunch bag on my way out the door.

The other day I hit Bed Bath & Beyond.  Man I love that store!
They were having a big sale and as soon as I walked in I was immediately attracted to a large bin with these water cooler looking water bottles in it. They were huge! (74oz) With a great handle [...]

It snowed today! For as much as I complain about the winter there is just something fun about snow.  It’s white, fluffy and I get to take frustration out on the husband in the form of a snowball fight. :~P

While I was out shoveling the driveway I was thinking of all [...]
