After our major transition and life disappointments I found myself not only off of the wagon but being drug by it. My weight has bounced up accordingly and after gaining 17 pounds I find renewed energy and discipline. I have been loving my Wii yoga sessions and my Wii Zumba routines. And I also stretch, [...]

…That is because I have not had anything I have wanted to share with you all. Our life took a turn for the worse a little bit after the sale of our place. My husband didn’t get the job he was vying for, even after nailing every step. Seriously, that’s true. He called them and [...]

… who the frack cares! Doesn’t matter what you think love is. What matters is how you show it. What benefit does anyone gain from being loved more than earth and heaven combined if they are neglected and treated like shit?

I don’t get to post as much as I’d like these days. I guess I am just too busy working and living to document it all on here. And we have been busy. We have been: 1. Working: I am working full-time and even the hubby is pulling quite a bit of hours. But with [...]

Oh wow! Was it beautiful today! It was hot, sunny and just a tiny bit breezy. I spent about ten minutes just breathing in the delicious springtime air this afternoon. After work my husband and I (with children in tow) headed to the tennis courts for our first play of the season. Both of our serves were pretty [...]

This video from CNN, featuring Sir Ken Robinson, talks about the short comings of structured schools. He says that the assembly line style of educating children doesn’t acknowledge a wide variety of skills and gifts and that it prevents many people from finding their passions. But people think that maybe if they just go to enough [...]
