What do you Mean I lost 4lbs???

A year ago I was down to 180 lbs, now let me tell you all; during every single one of my pregnancies I was over 200lbs, so I was happy at 180lbs but working to get to 140 or 130lbs, or be in a size 12/13 maybe would suffice. At 180lbs I was comfortably wearing a woman size 14 and honestly I felt good. When I was down to 180lbs I was doing EA Sports Active daily, only taking one break one day a week. I could eat whatever I wanted to, I could drink whatever I wanted to and as long as I did my daily workout on the Wii I was fine. The weight started coming off, but then my Wii remotes stopped working as good, my life …

All My Friends Can, All My Friends Do It

All My Friends Can, All My Friends Do It

Here we go, welcome to my world of living with a nine year old daughter who is starting with “all my friends can” or “all my friends do it” type of responses when I say no to having a Facebook profile, a cell phone or walking in town alone just to name a few topics. I really thought that these type of questions would not be coming up until my children were closer to their teen years, but alas children seem to be growing up way too fast these days. When I was in her grade, I focused on reading and school sure I had a slight interest in boys, I think within the next couple of years but I had no clue about sex, social media, the internet, etc. …

I Want More than TV Kids

I Want More than TV Kids

When my daughter was a little one, television shows were monitored heavily. My daughter would have never, ever watched cartoons like SpongeBob Sqaurepants or other shows that I felt had no educational value to them. This was something I would not budge on with rules and if someone else watched what I felt was a “bad” cartoon in those days I would have freaked, yet now my sons can watch cartoons with little to no educational value such as Tom & Jerry, Roadrunner and more without me even batting an eyelash. It’s so weird how becoming a mom for two then three times changed my views and opinions on what is okay to have on the TV. For instance, my five year old son is all about competitive sports, he …

Grave Digger, Dennis Anderson Celebrates 30 Years

When I told my Dad I was heading to see Monster Jam at the DCU Center in MA, I mentioned that Dennis Anderson was going to be there and that he was celebrating 30 years of Grave Digger. My Dad said it was awesome and that he wished he could have gone along because Grave Digger is one of the very first Monster Trucks out there, this is one of the trucks that started this whole Monster Truck scene! When we arrived at the DCU Center on February 18th, we were amazed by the long line waiting to get into the pit party and were wondering how well our sons would do waiting in such a long line. Luckily the line moved really fast but the lines were even longer …
