My daughter feels deprived because I have made her pack her lunch all school year long. She asks me constantly if she can buy lunch and of course my answer is not just a NO, but an ABSOLUTELY NOT!

I think I was one of the few Jamie Oliver fans and I have been so “bummed” ever since it got cancelled. I loved that show. It was a nice slap in the faced to our governments school lunch choices. I am sorry that it took someone from out of our country to have the b@!ls to say something.

Which are you going to let stay?


I run across a whole bunch of images on facebook and 9/10 times I don’t even look at them because they are overwhelming and I have better things to do. However, I think there was a reason for me seeing this one today…it really is true and goes along with my mental and physical journey to better myself. It’s funny how sometimes it only takes something so little to make you think and get yourself back on track. Anyway, I will share the image with you below. I don’t know who to give credit to as it was plastered all over Facebook. If anyone knows, let me know so I can give proper credit. Read more »

The best pill holders I have found!


Anyone that knows me knows that I take supplements every day. It would be wrong of me to say, or for most to say, that they get 100% of their nutrition in their daily food. It is hard to do, especially in a fast pace, impatient world. It can be done, but how many people do you know that actually do it? I will share those supplements with you but first I want to share these awesome pill holders I found on Amazon. Since I take more then most people I was not able to find anyone local that had a container big enough for all my vitamins. The picture to the right shows the pill boxes I use…they are sweet and have so many conveniences! IMAG0764The “B” and the “T” on the boxes are written on there by me. Both me and the hubs use them so I needed to have them labeled.

Not only do they fit all my pills, with room to spare, Read more »

Mine and ny husbands daily supplements


UntitledI have said it before and I will say it again…it is hard to eat 100% of your nutrition every day. Yes it can be done and few, very few actually do it. I try real hard to eat healthy and incorporate a healthy lifestyle to my kids but I still come up short of MOST my essential nutrients every day. So I take daily supplements. I don’t soley depend on supplements. That is something that some companies try to get you to think when they are pushing you to buy their product. Supplements work in “conjunction” with a healthy diet. If you strive for good/better health, then you have to do it all. You have to eat right, exercise a bit, and find your missing nutrition and fill it in with something healthy. Read more »

Helping my non-eater child eat!


I was very blessed to have a first child that eats everything I give her. From day one she was a blessing as I could give her any vegetable, drink, etc and she would eat it. There are literally only 2-3 foods she does not care for. Since she has been such a good eater I really don’t force her to eat the few foods she does not like because she is so good why fight with her…she eats more then most kids.

Now my son on the other hand…not so lucky. This boy came out fussy and picky from day one. It has been a hard adjustment for me. I got spoiled with the first child so it has taken me years to figure out how to get this boy to eat since my first child was so easy…look at that face…cute as hell but stubborn to boot! DSC00839

I have come up with a few different stretegies in the last few years and this dice eating has been by far the best one, well so far anyway. Read more »

Winners of parasite solutions giveaway


UntitledI have been running giveaways for a while now and for those that enter it is easy and that is good. If you want a lot of people entering then easy entries is the key.

What is not easy is picking the winners. It may sound easy, but to do it right there is a lot of work involved in first picking the winner, verifying their entry, and then waiting for them to claim the entry.

So did you enter the giveaway and better yet, did you win? Well, check your e-mail or read below to find out… Read more »

My 3-year old loves belly dance


UntitledToday’s workout was a belly dance workout. It was very fun but before I give all those details I have to say something so cute. My 3 1/2 year old son came down to the basement while I was working out and saw the two ladies on the DVD and was like a deer in the head lights when he saw them…

“Mommy,” he says…”that is such a beautiful workout,” as he glues his eyes to the TV. “Yes it is,” I said. He is still eyes glued to the TV and says Read more »

P90X: Tony Horton's 90-Day Extreme Home Fitness Workout DVD ProgramWhen I first rounded up all my workout DVDs for my 40-workout journey, I initially took out all the ones that caused me to use my shoulder and back.

I have decided to add the rest of P90X back into the pile, making my workouts even more. I really have no idea anymore Read more »
