Since it’s Friday, (was it me? Or did this week go really fast!) I thought I’d leave you with the three little words that bring a thrill to any woman. “I’ll take him” (or) “I’ll do it” (or) “I’ll make dinner” (or) “I’ll...

Without me:
~The dogs would never get fed. Ok, maybe once a week.
~The toilet paper would never get replaced.
~There would be no cleaning items in the house. Once what was there got used up, there would be no more “magical” replacements.

So, yesterday I got sick. Let me clarify…yesterday the plague that has been following me around since February reared its hydra-headed self AGAIN.
Seriously, what is the deal with this flu and cold bug this year? I am sick of being sick. And for once, it seems to be me—and not...

(Yeah, I’m a little scatterbrained today. I couldn't decide on one title.)

Two things are most difficult for me during my quest for health. The ritual of eating bad foods with my family (aka: TREATS!) and exercise. I was telling my husband last night that changing your eating habits so much reminds me of quitting smoking (which I successfully did last year). It...

A week or so ago I did a blog about working for yourself. Being a "momtrepeneur." I thought about this blog because I get a lot of questions from other moms wanting to know how to get started. As I said in the other blog, it isn't easy to get started on your own. It's good to get help...
