A couple years ago I cancelled my gym membership for financial reasons. It was a really tough decision even though I wasn't really using the gym much at the time. I felt I was giving up on a healthy lifestyle. I know that is not true but it is amazing how the thought played over and over again in my head. I finally caved and sent the email canceling my $35 a month membership to a gym I was barely using and decided it was the smart thing to do. In the next years I came to the … [Read more...]
As the Kinect gains in popularity more and more games are introduced to the market.

Things are going really well after one week. Just a recap of my commitment, my husband and I decided 2012 would be the year of "Health" for us with our focus on losing weight, getting in shape, and becoming healthier overall. Each day gets me one step closer to all three goals. Thankfully they are all wrapped up in each other and reaching one will inevitably lead to reaching or in reach of the others. So we decided we would eat great for 6 days and take one day as a "free" day. … [Read more...]

This post brought to you by Cafe Well. All opinions are 100% mine. Being such a internet social person I have always loved groups. I below to a few small Facebook groups that I love because I can talk to a few friends in a secure environment. When I was pregnant with the third child I found a group of girls on a pregnancy forum that were all due during the same month. I talked to them daily and we even threw an internet shower for all of us with games and all! I just heard … [Read more...]
These carrot cupcakes were the hit of our Thanksgiving feast. I made them spur of the moment to bring in for our Holiday get together at work. I've had this recipe in my archives for years.

Ingredients Cupcakes 1 1/2 cups oil 2 cups sugar 3 eggs 2 tsp vanilla 2 cups flour 2 tsp cinnamon 2 … [Read more...]
A family dinner doesn't always have to be a "traditional" dinner meal. In fact one of my all time favorite dinner is simply pancakes. Not just any pancakes though, I prefer my own. Nothing fancy I do use Bisquick so no recipe making is needed however I cook them to my own perfection.

I've always … [Read more...]
