One thing that frustrates me, I never go shopping ALONE. I often come home forgetting half of what I needed  because I was too busy chasing a 2 year old around the store and playing games of in the cart & out of the cart. My grocery trip with two boys goes something like this; first get Baby K into the cart seat, then explain to AJ that he is to WALK WITH ME, or else he will be put in the back of the cart – and YES I can and WILL make room for him in the back of the cart!

First step in setting a business schedule is to decide the following: Will you work days or nights? How many days …

Fitness Friday: It’s a Family Affair

It’s Fitness Friday and this is my first post!! How exciting! I look forward to sharing with you what my family and I are doing to get fit. After chatting with @momspective and Jenn at The Coupon Coup on a regular basis through Twitter I knew that one day I wanted to get in on this whole Wii Mommies group, working to support each other in getting fit. About a month ago my family purchased the Wii and in April I purchased the Wii Fit for one of my husband’s birthday gifts. I was so excited I ended up giving it to him early. The Wii Fit is a fantastic program to use as a way to make getting fit a family affair. My oldest, my middle child, my husband …
