Everyone has their favorite foods. Tucker could live on ice cream and pizza. When those two things are placed in front of him, he eats it all no matter how much is there. My weakness is meat. If I were an animal, I would be an alligator or something. All that meat just heading on… Continue reading How Do We Break the Sugar Addiction?

Sunday I… Continue reading Full Contact Yoga and a Geeky Finalist
What did I do this weekend? Tucker and I trekked to Arkansas and picked the kids up. And the kids missed us. Which was cool. We got home last night, the kids went to bed with little fuss and as I’m typing this, Tucker’s fixing them lunch [Note: I’ve been writing this all freakin’ day.] and the… Continue reading The Kids are Home and Will It Blend?
I get to see my kids today. Yay! And I can type that without being sarcastic. Sure the house is really clean and tidy.

We… Continue reading My Butt Hurts and I Get to See My Kids
