Something wonderful happened to me at the Fresh and Easy grocery store the other day. A small red and white jar caught my eye and I wandered over to look at it and I swear I heard angels sing. THERE IS SUCH A THING IN THE WORLD AS BISCOFF SPREAD. I couldn’t believe my eyes.… Continue Reading

I will never be a size two but I think I’m fine with that
OK I’ve had it–if I hear one more time that Kate Upton, this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model, is “full-figured” or a “bigger-sized” model, I’m going to crack the skull of the person saying it with my more than full-figured fist. Unfortunately, my husband was the latest person to say this in an ill-but-well-intended-attempt,… Continue Reading
Is honey vegan?
There is no other way to say it: I am unreasonably afraid of bees. Like super, psychotically, pee my pants, jump out of a moving car, afraid of them. And it is ENTIRELY their fault. Whenever there are bees around, they come at me with their zig-zaggetedly crooked way of flying taunting me, like, “Maybe… Continue Reading
Quinoa black bean tacos
It’s a huge challenge to constantly find vegetarian meals that my entire family will be satisfied with. Sometimes the meals I create miss the mark something terrible. There are lots of “yucks” and “I’m not eating THAT!” And yeah, it’s disappointing to me. Other times, things just hit. This was one of those recipes. My… Continue Reading

So excuse me a minute while I touch my biceps a little more …. OK there. The thing is, my arms are one of… Continue Reading
Get up and just move!
Today I have two choices. I can catch up with all the work I have to do at my computer e.g., pay bills, write blog posts, finish client projects, work on my website etc., or I can get up and take my kids to the park or work on my yard. Everyday we are faced… Continue Reading
One pound down, 19 to go
After a week and a half of solid work I’ve lost a pound. One pound! I’m a little disappointed but excited at the same time. So I know that’s a healthy amount to lose but when you are busting your butt on diet and exercise you expect a little more. However, I’m happy that something… Continue Reading
Weightloss training at Anytime Fitness
So recently something came to my attention. It was my fatness. Fat is a relative term I know. For me it’s when I wake up one day and realize that I am 12 pounds heavier than I was last year. Fat for me is not just knowing that I no longer fit into my skinny jeans that… Continue Reading
