My hubby and I have gotten into a rut with eating. We have both been so busy since September, he is a teacher and taking graduate courses, and I just completed my graduate program! (WooHoo!) We both noticed the weight packing on the past few months and decided that we had to do something about it. I always cook healthy meals (when we aren't ordering in-which has been way too often lately.) We both have the same problem: grazing. We will reach for ...

Good Morning!
I have been making pancakes since I was 8 years old. I taught hundreds of students how to make the perfect pancake. Can you please tell me why THIS happened this morning? No, I did not leave the stove unattended. Yes, I did everything exactly the same. Okay, maybe not EXACTLY the same because this wouldn't have happened. The smell is awful. The smoke alarm went off. Oh, and it's only 11am.Have you had something similar happen to you? When you ...

I wasn't a huge "me time" fan until I no longer had "me time." Don't you ever feel like you need a break from everything - just for 5 minutes? I have heard the biggest complaint from new moms is all they want is either a) a moment to themselves so that they can bathe, or b) a moment to themselves to be able to use the bathroom (with the door closed.)Personally, I would like 10 minutes to enjoy my coffee. Yes, just TEN minutes. It beats the 2 ...

Patty Cake by Baby Magic Review
When my little girl was a newborn, I would catch people smelling her head. Weird, yes, but I knew exactly what smell they were looking for. That new baby smell - sweet, powdery, and soft. Baby Magic has been successful at bottling that "new baby scent" and they have been around since 1951! Their products are gentle for baby's delicate skin - even the nursery where I delivered her used it to give babies their first bath!I already knew that ...
Thirty One Gifts by Melissa (Birthday Bash Sponsor)
Just like any mama, I am always looking for ways to organize "stuff." I do not like clutter in any form and it is always the little things that form the clutter - the office supplies, the baby toys, the beauty products. These are the things that need their own organization bin... or bag! Melissa from Thirty One Bags was nice enough to send me an All In One Organizer to review and even personalized it for me! As soon as I received it, I knew ...
Ayurvedic Roast Review (Birthday Sponsor)
I LOVE my coffee. Apparently this is not something new for me. My mom told me that when I was about 3 I would ask her for coffee and she would put a few drops of coffee in some milk for me. I really do enjoy the taste of the robust flavors that coffee has to offer and it really is the best part of waking up.When I was pregnant, I decided to cut back on my coffee. Breaking the habit was not so bad at that time since I was not addicted to the ...
The war on Antibiotics
I was about 8 years old when I had my tonsils removed. Before that, I had 8 years of childhood illnesses that were treated with antibiotic after antibiotic. At some point, a pediatrician had me on antibiotics for 3 months for tonsillitis before my mother decided to go for a third opinion on having my tonsils removed. Knowing what I do about antibiotics at this point in my life, I would love to pick this doctor's brain on why he ...
