While Stevie was sick and we were going on multiple daily walks, he started showing some interest in picking up sticks and leaves. He would say “I WANTASTICK” and upon finding a good one, he’d say “IMAKEEPDIS”. This made my mom-of-a-boy heart soar. Not only because he was showing interest in something, anything new, but because this…
I’ve had this post ready to go for 2 weeks, but got hung up on what picture to post. So. Here are some apples. Because those are healthy! TA-DAAAA! If you’ve read the backstory and seen the diet plan, now you probably want to know how it all holds up over time. I only started…
Does anyone else feel like it was just our anniversary?! At least we didn’t forget this year! In fact, Paul jumped the gun a little and thought it was yesterday. I spent my afternoon on Amazon, searching for a good leather gift, but then realized if I ordered from our account, he would see it…
In case you don’t follow me on Instagram or Facebook, I am happy to report that Stevie is back in school! He got the all clear from the health department – the E Coli is completely out of his system – and he can now resume his usual activities, which include, but are not limited to:…
This post is not my big Fall wardrobe reveal. This post is merely to tell you that more big changes are coming for me. Changes that I’m scared to commit to, but know are necessary. I had mentioned in a previous post that I wasn’t sure whether I’d be doing a capsule wardrobe, a categorized…
Let’s take a break from all the health talk and let me tell you about our weekend where there was very little health involved! Look at this guy. My handsome husband. He gets better with age, it’s so unfair. I would go anywhere with him. He’s seriously the coolest. And the most perfect person in…
Oh the post you’ve all been waiting for! What magical hex did this girl use to lose 19 pounds all of a sudden?? I, much like you, wish it was as simple as magic. But there’s no pill or finger snapping that will make it happen. That being said, if you are in the right…
This is kind of long, but if you are interested, I want to start at the beginning and tell you guys a little about why I decided to cut back on sugar and start a healthier lifestyle. I have been cheerfully chubby or pleasantly plump most of my adult life. A BMI calculator would have…
Dear Sugar, This is hard for me to say. So I’ll just be very honest with you. It’s time you and I parted ways. Listen, you were good while things lasted. Great, even! I felt like you were what kept me going during the day. I felt like you were my reward for the challenges…
And here’s the part where I tell you my big time quarantine goals fell through the cracks pretty quickly. But… but… it’s only been four days! You know what? Sometimes I forget who we are dealing with here. Ooooh I am not good at quarantine. Before he got sick, Stevie was in the middle of an upswing.…
