Mornings are not my favorite time of day. Generally speaking, I don’t really like to get out of bed. That feeling is magnified by the fact that my daughter doesn’t really like to get ready for school in the morning. It makes for a pretty stressful beginning to the day.
Lately, I’ve been trying to find a […]

Back in the day, I was a hard-core Weight Watchers follower. I counted my points diligently and learned all about portion control and calories and making choices. I lost 25 lbs after the birth of my first child and I credit Weight Watchers (and my dedication and discipline) for helping me reach that goal.

About 6 months ago, I decided that I was going to switch from standard groceries to organic. I buy organic almost exclusively now and have no plans on turning back.
One side effect, though, is that we’ve had to replace some of our best loved processed foods with their closest organic counterpart. Some have been hits. […]

When you’re dealing with an injury, or multiple injuries, it really messes with your mind. You’re supposed to be resting up so your body can heal. Resting equals idle body. Idle body equals mind that has way too much time to think about the idle body and how much it’s driving you insane to be […]

- Choose You
I’m guilty of it and you probably are too. Most women are, in fact.
What am I talking about? Putting your own health on the back burner to attend to the needs (and, let’s face it, WANTS) of others. There’s laundry to wash, fold, and put away. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners to prepare. Sporting events, rehearsals, […]
