It was hard for me as an adult to change my eating habits. Changing my kids eating habits has been taxing, challenging, and just plain DIFFICULT! Some days are better than others. One particularly bad day happened at the local grocery store. My daughter actually burst into tears in…

20 is the new 10
I haven’t blogged in over a month! It’s “scandalous “! Actually it is literally a scandal…. I’ve developed a little Scandal addiction on Netflix. Anytime I’m on my iPad, I’m watching Scandal and not blogging! I’ve been pretty committed to Olivia Pope and Fitz- blowing through 4 seasons in record time. I’ve noticed that about … Continue reading
The Big Fight
I was in a big fight yesterday. It was with myself. It was during my run. I’m not sure there was a winner. I sort of fell off my P90X wagon about 2 weeks ago. I was loving P90X! I still love P90X! But sometimes, life gets in the way. It was my birthday on … Continue reading

I have taken many approaches trying to get my kids to eat clean. Sometimes I explain the value of the food we are eating, sometimes I dare them to try something new, sometimes I even LIE to them lol! The most effective approach seems to be getting them involved…

Have you ever gone to a pot luck dinner and your friends either assume or hope that you will bring your signature dish? I have a friend who brings a layered taco dip to every party. If she doesn’t- well let’s just say it isn’t pretty. My signature dish…
I Like Fighting with my Husband
I love spending time with my husband- honestly he is my best friend BUT I’ve always HATED working out/playing sports with him. It doesn’t matter that I workout more than him and that I’m probably (definitely) in better physical condition than him- but genetics have made it that he is faster, stronger and better at … Continue reading
January Joy!
I’m feeling super happy today. Today is the first day in maybe two weeks that I’ve felt light and joyful. I’ve been writing a blog post about how tired I’ve been; how tired I was during my workout classes and how tired I’ve been of cooking clean food. I couldn’t even seem to finish the … Continue reading
Push-ups
At the end of the summer, the thought of working full time for an entire school was overwhelming. I honestly didn’t think I could do it! Well, I’m about to do it since my teaching contract just got extended for the entire school year. I’m feeling confident about it all because of push-ups. Push-ups. I … Continue reading
Procrastinating
Right this minute, I’m suppose to be emptying my bedroom of all its contents. I’m not. I’m sitting on the porch, with my dog Boyd, drinking a coffee and I just played an epic game of Candy Crush. I am a procrastinator. I have been emptying my room, since now it belongs to my daughter. … Continue reading
Happy Strawberry Jam
It’s Strawberry season! Last week we were on vacation at the cottage and I was afraid I was going to miss picking strawberries. We bought a basket from a road side stand but those berries were destined for eating and dockside strawberry margaritas. I LOVE to bake so I was hoping the strawberry season would … Continue reading
