I’m in the midst of training for my first “real” 5K (more on that later), and am on a quest to get in better shape, so I thought this info from author Jorge Cruise was fitting to share! JORGE CRUISE is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of over 15 weight loss books. His mission [...]
Dinner parties – they either turn out delightful or disastrous! We typically have more casual get-togethers with friends, but with the holidays approaching I thought you might enjoy this guest post on how to make your next dinner party a great one! Everybody has heard or experienced first-hand when a dinner party goes wrong, but [...]
Living in Texas, we definitely have our fair share of natural disasters – tornadoes tend to be what we deal with. Around the country different areas have different threats they deal with – earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. – and we’ve all seen the devastation these can bring. It made me think – how do you prepare [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve done Menu Plan Monday. Like, a long while. Part of it is because during the first trimester of this pregnancy I was nauseous a LOT, and not much sounded good… and, I could never really tell what would sound good on a given day, so we didn’t do a [...]
As a child (oh, and let’s be honest – even well into adulthood) I was a big fan of Little Debbie’s oatmeal cream pies. They can be a little too sweet for me sometimes, and when I came across a recipe on Pinterest it really appealed to me to try a recipe that’d be fresh [...]
And WHY am I falling asleep at 8:00 all the time? I’m PREGNANT! Baby 3 is due in September. We are all really excited, especially J who has temporarily (probably permanently in his mind) named the baby Ninja. I’m 12 weeks today, so hopefully the tiredness will get a little better soon. I’m actually still [...]
Wow, it’s been months since I’ve participated in this. Can we say scattered, much? That’s not to say I haven’t been doing some planning here and there, but not as organized as I’d like to be. My two-year-old is sick today, which is awful (seriously, sick kids are so pitiful!) but I did take advantage [...]
Hi everyone! Today we’ve got the pleasure of a guest post from the blogger at Penelope’s Oasis. I hope you’ll take a minute to stop over and visit her great blog… and you’ll definitely want to try out her recipe that she’s sharing with us today. ••••••••• I’m Penelope, author of Penelope’s Oasis, and today [...]
I’ve mentioned before about walking twice a week with a friend from work. Well, Tuesday rolled around and she was sick, so we had to cancel. I meant to do some exercise to make up for it, but hadn’t gotten around to it until yesterday when I walked with another friend. Lesson learned? Make exercise [...]
This is my last week on Freshology – what a journey! I’ve lost a total of 12 pounds so far, and despite some slip-ups have learned a ton about what – and how much – I should be eating. I’ve also tried foods I never would’ve tried before, and have expanded my taste in vegetables. [...]
