Finding The Time To Exercise

Finding the time to exercise is hard.  Before I had children I often worked out twice a day – I’d do a circuit strength training program over my lunch hour at the gym across the street from work, and then go for a run after work.  Needless to say I was very, very fit! But…

Be Nice, Clear Your Ice

The roads may always be open, but in these parts the sidewalks sure aren’t!  The girls have gymnastics at the same time on Sunday mornings.  Brooke’s class is a parent & tot class so hubby does it with her, while Sierra does her kindergym on her own: "I’m a big girl mommy, I don’t need…

Mommy – I Have To Pee!

Every once in a while, just turned 18 month old Brooke will do something that absolutely astonishes me.  Usually it’s something she’s picked up from watching others.  The other day, a car pulled up next to me in the parking lot as I was getting her out of the car.  As soon as she saw…

I can’t go to school looking like THIS!

Yesterday Sierra got it in her head that she needed to go to the spa with mommy and get her toes painted.  Not just any colour – that would be too simple.  She absolutely insisted on getting them painted green.  Green because. "Mommy, green is my favourite colour".  She wanted to sit on the chair…

I’ve Got Resolutionitis Again

It’s that time again – time to reflect back on the past year and figure out how to make next year even better!  Which for me means resolutions.  This year I’m aiming to trim the fat from everything in my life.  Get rid of the excess – the excess poundage, the excess clutter, the excess…

The Eat All Day And Lose Weight Diet

Or shall I call it the snack all day and lose weight diet?  Either way, I’m pretty sure I’m going to generate a lot of traffic with this title.  If you’ve come here by one of those searches then stick around – this is pretty interesting, and trust me it works! My hubby is not…
