The Active Family

I’m coming out. I am a huge Nora Robert’s fan, and by default, a JD Robb fan as well. Roberts is probably one of the few authors I gravitate towards normally otherwise I just read whatever catches my eye. For awhile though I did pull away from her novels. I got pretty ticked off with [...]

While doing my morning browse of the internet headlines, I came across the startling news that Nike has resumed it’s business relationship with Michael Vick.
Let’s let that one sink in for a bit.
I didn’t really have a problem with Vick being let back into the NFL. I felt he served his time (though the sentance [...]

Frankly I’m surprised that this really needs to be said out loud and repeatedly. Do people REALLY think that taking your eyes completely off the road for the time it takes to send a message to someone on tiny keys is a good idea? I can hear the teen arguments already- they don’t need to [...]

Sing with me now… I have found something that ACTUALLY works. Since I started taking Alli a few weeks ago, I have lost 6 pounds!
FOR REAL!
I haven’t changed a whole lot about how I eat, since I’ve always strived to eat in a healthy way. I have increased my activity level, barely. I am loving [...]

This weekend was a busy one for the active family. Aside from Mother’s Day yesterday, we alternated between driving around to the various scheduled activities, food shopping, and one doctor visit! When I was able to dig a few hours out, I began to organize for my yard sale, coming up in June.
My first step [...]

Seven short weeks. That is all that is standing between me and summertime. The heat, the sweat, the pools, the beach.
Oh yeah…forgot to mention the kids. The summer starts for them soon too. Darn it.
My parents will be going to Maine again this year, for 3 weeks. Somehow they thought going the week the kids [...]
