Eating Healthy

Keeping our bodies healthy means eating right, exercising and getting the right amount of play time and rest time. That’s hard to balance for kids!  I’ve noticed my oldest Princess V struggling lately to communicate her feelings. We were experiencing meltdowns way too often for anyone’s enjoyment. One day after her dance class, when we […]

Not enough hours in the day

It’s official – there are not enough hours in the day to do all I want to do.  When I became a mom I started throwing my whole self into that – motherhood. Slowly I began doing things I enjoyed again – like reading. As a homemaker, the kitchen became my domain. 3 home cooked […]

Menu Plan 3/11

We had a Pork Roast, Mashed Potatoes, and Asparagus for dinner last night. I think I got the best reviews from Mark I’ve had in awhile. Don’t misinterpret, he almost always enjoys what I make – but this meal was right up his ally, and he really really enjoyed it. I just might need to […]

80Bites Update and a menu

I completely slacked off in my 80Bites updates here. I was doing great until the Holidays and then my posting just got thrown off. I’m still trying to find a good groove for 2013. I finished the 12 week program with 80 Bites though, and am really feeling great about it. I am no dieter. […]

Just Do It!

It’s so easy to let little things slide. To push small tasks to the bottom of an ever growing list. Time to stop it. Get those little things done, and soon the big things will fall into place too. It’s time to just do it.    Something seemed to click inside me over the weekend. I’m […]
