Alright. I’m going to be totally honest. Sometimes I think about getting plastic surgery. Have you ever thought about that? I think you’d be hard pressed to find a woman who hasn’t thought about it at least once in their lives. I don’t think I would ever actually HAVE plastic surgery, but that doesn’t mean […]

Today is Lisa’s birthday!!! Not only is Lisa a wonderfully amazing contributor here at the Sisterhood, but she is also my best friend. For the past 6 years, we’ve been through some amazing milestones together, including weight loss, pregnancies, new babies, more weight loss, and now 1/2 marathon training. I’m so happy that she’s been […]

I think 2010 has been the year of the cupcake. Everywhere I look I see them on clothing, jewelry, aprons and heck, even bloggy meet ups. Hence, I crave them. So while on a search for a lower fat cupcake I stumbled upon this sweet idea, a diet soda cupcake. Which after reading several different […]
