I’m sitting here wondering what the heck I can toot my horn about about I’m drawing a blank. Isn’t that sad?! I’ve already *tooted* in the past about running, the building of our house and the like- what else is there?! Well of course, there is so much more. I want to toot about other [...]

How’s this for last minute race registration? I signed up to run the Capital 10K (Austin, TX) that is happening as you read this (or if you are reading later on Sunday, look- I am already done running!)….. I registered today (Saturday….as in the day BEFORE the race, at 3pm to be exact). How’s THAT [...]

Hiddey Ho- it’s the eighth week of our challenge, with only one week to go. Where did the time fly off too? Yes, you have one week to kick it into high gear and to finish strong. How are you doing? Have you been doing your ‘thang and watching the numbers shrink on the scale? [...]

Ahhhh, it’s Tuesday once again and time to air my dirty (or not so dirty) laundry. Also, it’s your turn too- woot woot! Here are my confessions- short and sweet style. 1. Girl Scout cookies are the devil recreated in a cookie form. I find it nearly impossible to just eat a few at a [...]

I was looking back through old posts and stumbled upon this one that I wrote over a year ago. The gist of the post was this: When I look in the mirror, I like my _______. I wrote about how most times when I look in the mirror, my eyes naturally gravitate to the [...]

I almost feel like I shouldn’t be posting this recipe, it’s almost like I am encouraging you to make this dessert. It seems all kinds of wrong to post a recipe with the words peanut + butter + cup + blondie, doesn’t it? I mean, just because Cooking Light published this recipe doesn’t mean it’s [...]

I’m taking a review of sorts, a review of me. You see, I have become complacent these last few months, especially the last month. There has been a beach vacation and then a lake vacation and lots of Summer activities. I have the three kiddos home with me and my husband has been traveling for [...]

Ladies and Gents! Just because we are in between challenges doesn’t mean it’s slacker time. We still want you to check-in/weigh-in/say hello. So yeah, get right to it. Step on the scale if you are so inclined (and even if you aren’t-ha!). Blog about it, talk about it, comment about it- let us know how [...]

I have come to dread when it’s my turn to post on True Confessions Tuesday. Yeah, you read that right. Sure, I could confess that I ate BBQ once this weekend, ice cream twice this weekend, and exercised ZERO the last three days. Those are all easy fixes in my mind. The harder thing to [...]

Lisa is not just a writer here at the Sisterhood, she’s also my best friend! Through thick and thin, we’ve seen each other through lots of amazing times (and some [...]

I only allow myself to have the “real thing” alfredo sauce quarterly (although lately it’s been maybe twice a year now.) But for every day, I’ve drummed up something that is a very, very close second — minus the guilt. I give you: My Alfredo Sauce. Oh sure the real thing has that smooth buttery [...]

Knock knock. Anyone there? It looks like some of us have lost our get up and go. In my case, my get up and go has gone up in smoke and flames, heavy on the flames. The last four weeks have been incredibly stressful and busy for me and dare I say it- the first [...]
