I don't typically make New Year's resolutions but I am feeling rather inspired for 2012. I had two goals for 2011 that I set for myself on March 1st (does that count?) to really concentrate on fitness and exercise and to also make more time for me. I guess I just decided that I needed to allow myself to be more than a mom now that my kids are getting older. I blew those goals out of the water and since I am feeling pretty empowered by those successes I think it is time to set some more goals. No … [Read more...]
New Year, New You with Newsky Shoes
This morning I hit the gym for the first time of 2012. Not only did I feel like the energizer bunny (thanks to paleo/primal foods!)

I already have some New Balance minimalist shoes in black and pink, though not this version and I love them so I was excited to try NewSky. I absolutely adore the blue/grey coloring (I was getting sick of pink) and … [Read more...]

Get Rid of Wheat Belly and Bagel Butt – Go Grain Free
I recently spent a few days at my parents' house a couple counties away. I always bring a few books with me and enjoy the unplugged time and this particular visit was no exception.

It was the second book I read in a week that dealt with the issue of eschewing grains from the diet (more on the other book later). For the new year I decided to make … [Read more...]
Canvas Prints for Memorable Gift Giving
When it comes to extended family my fave gifts to give this time of year are ones that incorporate photos of my kids. I have done mugs with the kids photos several times and even calendars with new photos of my darlings each month. This, I hear, makes it more tolerable to get by without seeing their cute faces in person every day. I am fortunate that I am not totally heinous in the picture taking department, and that I have a decent camera, because I have lots of good shots to choose from. This … [Read more...]
