I always welcome constructive criticism about my blog and corresponding social media pages. Well, not really, but people send it to me unsolicited and regardless, so I might as well pretend like I’m open to it, right? Apparently, somewhere along the way I must have given the impression that I’m a professional – if there is such a thing […]

I awoke this morning feeling dangerously optimistic about my day. Waking a few minutes before my alarm, and on my own accord, seemed to slightly diminish the dark circles that have recently (for the last seven years) adorned my face.

I just love when my kids get totally fixated on something. Today I was still recovering and my husband was working which meant some activities went on longer than I’d normally allow. The boys enjoyed extra TV and video games while my daughter…well, she did this: For three hours, seriously -three hours – she marched up […]

I hope that I don’t come off as boastful in this post, but I wanted to share a recent accomplishment with you. Many people resolve to lose weight as part of their annual New Year’s resolutions.
