Happy New Year my friends!

It just hit me that I haven’t posted anything new since last year. Ha! I’ve taken some time this past week to reflect, not on the past 10 years, but on the future. There are some things I know for sure. This year I’ll turn 30. My oldest daughter will start school. My husband and [...]

I need to say BOO! to the Halloween candy

In the 6 weeks between August 1st and mid September, I lost 20 pounds on a low-carb diet. Yay me! I feel great. I’m full of energy and haven’t had a headache in weeks (which I used to get almost daily). My husband compliments me left and right. My pants aren’t as snug. My bras [...]

Healthy Choice [new line & packaging]

healthy choice

Trying to eat healthy is such a struggle for me, especially when it comes to finding something convenient and easy to prepare! I often find myself buying frozen food for this same reason. Is what I’m eating healthy? Not always. But it’s nice to know I have options! Along with a new look to their [...]

Shocking statistics! In late March I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Joanna Dolgoff, a pediatrician who is [...]

Hot by BlogHer – Week 1 update

So it’s been a week since I took on the mission to get Hot by BlogHer. And I’m ECSTATIC because it’s been such a great 7 days. Is it wrong to say that last weekend’s food poisoning was a blessing? I haven’t gotten my appetite back since. I’ve also had NO coffee or soda all [...]

This is the first time in a while that…

… I’ve watched the Biggest Loser without anything to munch on. Ice cream is my usual pick, but cookies and cake have occasionally made an appearance. I always felt guilty doing this. I’m watching these people get skinnier and skinnier as the weeks go by, while I just sit here and gorge on Ben & [...]

The pity party is over

I realized how much of a Debbie Downer I’ve been so far this year here on my blog – my kids are sick, we don’t have any money, blah, blah, blah! I could continue with this trend and tell you how awful this weekend was, how I felt like I was going to die on [...]
