The one thing I don’t stress about during the holidays is what I eat. Between Thanksgiving Day and New Year’s Day I eat whatever I want, whenever I want. A fourth cookie? Don’t mind if I do, thanks. Now, truth be told, my pants are fitting kind of tight today and I’m getting slower and
Having 3 kids in daycare also means having 3 kids with teachers. And each of them currently has 2 teachers. And then there are the directors and the piano teacher and the reading teacher and the list goes on and on. Teacher gifts can add up quickly around the holidays. This year I came across a

So I’ve basically started my 10K training all over again. That’s the downfall of winter, sickness, kids, a busy life, (insert more excuses here), etc. But I’m pushing forward and I’m back on the treadmill.

If your kid has a food allergy or medical conditions that cause a specific diet…this blog posting is NOT for you! I’ve waited and waited for my friend to write about this one on her own blog, but I’m waiting no longer. So the idea was hers, but now she’ll have to deal with the
This is a VERY touchy topic with many women…but, here’s my story. Let’s go back to January 2002 when Andy and I lived in Nashville. I was 25 years old and about to do what I never thought I would have to do…I was about to outgrow my size 10 pants and have to go,
