Man, I’ve blown it big time this week. I’ve hit fast food places more times this week than I have all summer, and I’ve been sampling waaay too many sweets at work. Not only that, but I’ve barely been working out, and I slept through my Pilates class this week!
The kicker is, I KNOW that […]

Pass Down The Traditions
August 17th, 2008 · No Comments
This weekend my husband and I took the kids to my parents’ house to help my mom with her annual canning. Not many people I know still do their own canning!
My mom really wanted to show me how to make my grandparent’s recipe for bread and butter pickles. I’ve helped before, so I knew the […]

Summer Recipe Du Jour
July 21st, 2008 · No Comments
Today I am sending along a recipe I used in Maine. We had a big lobstah dinnah of course!

July 1st, 2008 · No Comments
Since summer is officially here and the temperature keeps rising, I thought it would be a good time to remind everyone the do’s and don’ts of working out in the heat.

I Heart Iced Tea!
April 16th, 2008 · No Comments
It’s another of my “addictions”. When I was pregnant, I drank so much iced tea I would get heartburn! While I try to stick to decaf at home, it is rarely possible to do that in the real world. Also, I realise that tea isn’t all that much better for you than coffee. Sure it has […]

Going Green with Spring Cleaning
April 15th, 2008 · No Comments
Ahhh Spring. The weather is getting warmer (mostly), the flowers are starting to pop up, and people everywhere are starting to drive around with the windows down (or cracked at least.) The frappacino blenders are going constantly at work, and people are ordering more iced drinks than before. With each new sign of spring, I […]
