I DID IT!!! I finally reached my weight loss goal this past week!!!!!!! OMG I’m SOOO HAPPY!!! I wanted to lose weight for almost two years and just didn’t have the dedication or motivation to actually DO it. I tried to eat good and exercise, which helped me lose around 1 pound a month, but…

When I set out to lose weight and share my journey with my readers, I did not expect to receive more hate mail than encouraging notes… Apparently people’s perception of being HEALTHY has been totally skewed by the enormous amount of overweight and obese people in this country. I didn’t think I would need to…
Okay! Praise the Lord! I got back down to 123.2 lbs today! Day 7 – 9 was a bit of a struggle, but the extra situps, 10 minutes on the stair stepper and a little bit of jogging during my required 20 minute daily walk seemed to have helped push me through the plateau. Here’s…

Today I started the Dukan Diet in hopes of losing the last 15 pounds from my second pregnancy. When I was offered the opportunity to review the Dukan Diet, I was skeptical and a little hesitant. “Another diet?!” I thought to myself… I didn’t know if I was ready to take on such an extensive,…
I’m pretty picky when it comes to food which is one of the reasons you rarely see food reviews on this blog. Every once in a while though, I get food items to review that actually surprise me and become a part of my weekly shopping list. Arnold Pocket Thins™ are one of those items……
You are busy with a hectic work schedule, demanding social calendars, your children’s sports and after school activities and who knows what else! Seriously, who has time to run to the salon for a trim every 6 weeks? Not me! I barely make it to the salon once a year now that I have two…

This updated version of the Dansko classic clog was inspired by high fashion’s molded footwear trend. The Pippa is a pop of color for any…
Can someone explain to my why I’m supposed to want to add a PUPLUM to my wardrobe this season? The peplum, for you fashion newbies, is the flounce of material on a dress or skirt that adds a poof to your waist, abdomen and hips. See Exhibit A: Personally, after 3 children, an appendectomy and…
The following is a great article that appeared today on Fashionista.com. It was written by the lovely Hayley Phalen, and brings to light an important aspect of our culture and society. A close friend of mine is a teacher in an inner city school, and has told me many stories of children frustrated and confused…
Crocs Dawson Boot Kids Shoes Got these for my son (15 months old) in a size 5, in black. He’s been wearing them inside and outside for weeks. I like them because he can’t take them off easily, they keep his feet warm and they appear to be very comfortable. He has a few pairs…
