Only other moms will understand this one.
You’ve had a great day. The toddler is a joy to be around, playing with a friend, helping you around the house. Dad is out mowing the lawn. Then it’s time for dinner.

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 [...]

Oh My! I sent my little guy off to preschool today! Full day preschool!
I’m very torn about this, it’s weird. On one hand, I’m so excited about this school and all the things he will be learning. Plus being an only child I think it’s really important for him to be around the other [...]

Well I’m back from Atlantic City and tomorrow I’m off to Canada. How crazy is that?!? Right now I should be packing and getting everything ready for my 7AM flight but I can’t seem to get motivated. I needed to take a break and part of that break was spending some uninterrupted time [...]

phew What a day! My Sensational Sunday almost didn’t happen. Did you ever have a slow morning? A morning where you have to make that conscious decision to get up and get moving or you’re going to lose the day?
That’s what we had today.

That’s right, Fun-derwear! As in fun-underwear.
Can you tell I have a toddler? :~)
Funderware is my made up term for the day we moved to “big boy” underpants. That’s right ladies and gentleman we are in the midst of potty training!
Taking the advice of many a mom, I scheduled a day. I’ve been building [...]

Not much to talk about today. I’m still a bit sore, I miss my workouts, and I miss the toddler (he’s at Grandma’s) A LOT. It’s really amazing how lonely I feel without him, he’s my little buddy. However, I know he’s having a blast with Grandma and I really needed the week [...]

What a crazy few days! Today is the toddlers birthday, my little guy is now 3 years old. THREE! Where did the time go? He marks my transformation into a healthy lifestyle and to celebrate, what did we eat today? Well, ummm, ice cream and cake of course!
Yes, yes, I overate a bit and [...]

Let me start by saying, I don’t know what’s up with me. I really have had NO desire to write, journal, eat good, or even get out of bed for the last few days. I’m just NOT motivated. As everyone knows, especially those with kids, you just gotta deal but boy I’ve been kinda [...]

It’s been awhile since I posted a Sensational Sunday and even though this weekend wasn’t my best on the food front I still like to recognize good days when I have them.
My weekend was jam packed! The husband and I got a movie in Friday night while the toddler hung out with [...]

The title pretty much sums it up.
The day started with a bit of sauce making.  Notice my little chef in training and his FABULOUS play dough meat balls! It way my way of keeping his eager hands out of the raw meat. Worked like a charm! We even “baked” his [...]

You thought I forgot didn’t you? Well, more then likely you forgot but I’ll humor myself. ;~)
A few weeks ago I wrote about a goal to make every Sunday Sensational. I wouldn’t say I’ve failed this goal but I didn’t attack it with the same vigor as that first week. [...]
