Sooooooo, against my better judgement I weighed myself on Monday of week 2. Guess what… the scale went the WRONG way again!!! I was pretty discouraged, especially considering I was doing all this work, eating lots of veggies, cutting carbs, and the workouts… whew! Boo! I got on the FB group and moaned about it …

Slow Cooker Mushroom Chicken…again
You might think I’ve lost my marbles because if you follow the recipe posts (and have a good memory) you’ll notice that there is another slow-cooker mushroom chicken post. It’s even snitched from the same website! HOWEVER there are nuances that are different, and while I like the other one a lot, I thought I’d …
Easy Chicken Melts
This is one of my favorite easy “light” meals. It doesn’t involve a ton of prep and I usually have the ingredients I need for it on hand. I like to use the canned chicken breast we get at Costco for this one too. Most of the time I serve it with some sliced veggies …
This n’ That
So two hours after sitting down to breakfast Myles finally finishes. Now he is getting dressed and ready to start the day at 10 o’clock. *sigh* We are having to limit “angry birds” time on our iDevices since that seems to be the ONLY thing that Qade is interested in these days. What good are …
No-bake Energy bites!
Yummers!! You’ve got to try THESE bites! (there’s a link there under that word, check it out!) After the crispy treat with non melting marshmallow fiasco the other week I was a little reluctant to have the lads “help” me again. Not so much because of them, but my patience is in bad shape! SO …
Insanity recap week 1
So my beach body challenge started last monday. Which also happened to coincide with Stuart’s spring break. This year we planned to take some time “away” without the kids during spring break. It was a much needed get-a-way, though explaining why mom and dad were going on a “trip” without kids to the lads was …
Natural Laundry Detergent
Well, my first experiment in going natural was a success. So far anyway! 😉 I tested it on 2 loads of laundry and it seems to get the job done! Plus it was a fun experience to make my own. I felt so little-house-on-the-prarie-ish, ha ha! Here’s what I used. Dr. Bronner’s Natural Castile Soap …
Prayer Request
Sometimes I feel like asking for prayer for “minor” things is asking much when there are so many ‘bigger’ requests in the lives of people everywhere. But I know that God delights in the prayers of His people, and I suppose no request is “too small” to pray for, right? 🙂 Anyway, this request is …
Grillin’
So forget that the wind is blowing like crazy and snow is whirling around outside. Forget that it’s cold and the eves are drippy-dripping. Imagine instead that it’s a balmy 85 degrees outside. The kids are splashing in the wading pool, and the trees are just shimmering in a slight breeze. Now to complete the …
The De-chemical-ification Process
I don’t think I will ever actually use the term “crunchy” when referring to myself, but I imagine others will when they read all this stuff. 😉 The first time I heard someone say they were a “crunchy mom” I had NO idea what they were talking about. I figured it out eventually, but never …
