Alright, I really feel like my kids are the only kids still in school. Jacob doesn’t get out until tomorrow (thank you 53 inches of snow in February!!), so we are ITCHING to get our summer plans started.
SUMMER!!! Summer means so many different things to different people. Maybe it means travel or cookouts or ice […]

So yeah, I’m the Sister who not only will be doing the half marathon with the rest of my Team Shrinking Jeans teammates this weekend (woot woot!), but I am the craziest of all for deciding to bring my entire family with me. The crazy part isn’t that we’ll be together, no the crazy part is […]

Do you ever wish you could go back and tell your past self things that you now know? Jump in your time-traveling machine, zip back to 1988, and tell yourself that your bangs really do NOT need to be 8 inches high? Or that layering two pairs of socks and tight-rolling your jeans will NEVER […]

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 I don’t […]

Hello. My name is April, and I have a history of yo-yo dieting. I’ve gained weight, lost weight, gained it all back and then some, lost more, gained it again, lost it again. Sound familiar?
One of my problems way back when was that when I gained weight, I told myself that I could lose it […]

Most times when I look in the mirror, my eyes automatically gravitate to what I perceive as “wrong” with me. Big hips. Mommy muffin top. Wide ass. Tired eyes. Gray hairs. I mean, if I was to list everything that I think is wrong, we might be here all day.
Why do we do that? Why […]

Here at the Sisterhood, we are all about changing and evaluating our actions and behaviors. This week, we want to switch it up a bit. We are in the process of rethinking some things around here and we want some feedback from the most important people, the elite… namely, YOU!
What are three things you really […]

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. […]

You read the title of this post and thought personal chef, right? I wish.
No, I’m talking about the little kitchen gadgets and helpers that make this whole healthy eating thing easier. Personally, I’m kind of obsessed with gizmos and doo-dads and I am not allowed to watch infomercials or anything of the like. I kind […]

Do you ever wish that you could go back in time and change your actions or behaviors, or lack thereof? Do you ever think- if I had only known that when I began xxyyzz, then I would be in a much better place/would have made better decisions/wouldn’t feel lik crap now?
This Thursday Three is the […]

I wanted to write something all clever for April Fools Day. Something to freak y’all out. Cause I wanted to be all, APRIL FOOLS! Bwa ha ha! Best laid plans, right? Oh well, it’s the thought that counts.
But, in the spirit of FOOLING, I thought I’d discuss ways I FOOL myself. I have plenty of mind […]

I wanted to do some sharing this morning, some things that you may not know about the lot of us and some things that happened at Fitbloggin 10 (a conference aimed at gathering health bloggers all in one place that many of us went to over the weekend.)
1. On Friday, the day I could not eat […]

I was sitting here (okay fine, I’m lying on my bed) thinking about how different the Sisterhood is now than it was a year ago. It was only 4 months old. A wee baby, just learning how to spread her wings. Finding her place in the big scary world known as the bloggy world.
She was […]

I am nothing without goals. I am constantly setting new goals for myself and am always dreaming of bigger things. I feel my best when I have something I am striving for, something I am set on achieving. Seriously? What’s life if you just stick to the same old routine? Pretty boring, if you ask […]

Good morning! Have you had your breakfast this morning??
If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a million times. EAT YOUR BREAKFAST! No, it’s not me yelling at you, it’s them. You know the ones. The ones we refer to when saying “They say you should eat your breakfast!” Whoever “they” are. The really smart people who do all those studies who […]
