The Active Family

I’ve nearly made it to the end of January and have been sticking tight to every  goal so far. I’ve been doing very well with my self propelled Weight Watchers, and have lost 5 pounds so far. I have been exercising more regularly, and I am pleased to announce my biggest problem is that my [...]

It used to be in our house that we spent our Saturdays out and about, having fun and just otherwise spending time together. Then Sundays were reserved for Church and either dinner at Nana’s or cleaning up the house.

Or….teen feet. Blech.
My oldest is 14, and we are all suffering. Between the attitude and the BO and the attitude and the sudden fondness for Axe spray, I think I have found the source of early balding. Thankfully, the BO is relegated to just his feet, we solved that by keeping his sneakers in his [...]

Watching the movies didn’t really help. It’s just been too long since my last vacation, and I really need a break. I’m not asking for an expensive vacation, in fact, just the opposite. I need a quiet vacation where I can just lay on a hammock sipping a cold beverage, and read, read, read, read.
I’ve [...]

Well, Massachusetts voters certainly had their voices heard yesterday. I am so proud that over half of the registered voters turned out to make their choice. While I have my own concerns, I think the important lesson we need to take from this is that the politicians really need to start LISTENING to their people!
