You know you’re spending a LOT of time with your son when…
…you inadvertantly call your husband “buddy” or “bud.” Oy.

New year, new leaf 😉
I know it’s only August, but it’s the start of *my* new year. 🙂 In 2011, my birthday cake was the last thing I ate before starting a new journey into a paleo/primal diet. I ‘fell off the wagon’ over the 2011 holidays and never really got back on. I was 50 pounds lighter than…

Well it’s true…
My favorite WW-friendly cream cheese has been discontinued. So have the WW sugar-free candies I loved. Apparently sugar alcohols are now included in the carb counts for Points PLUS™ so these products are no longer being manufactured. I didn’t get this from an official source; it’s just a deduction I’ve made looking at the facts. …

It’s time to get real…
I’ll admit it, I’m the last person I ever thought might be able to embrace a primal lifestyle. Really. I have been aware of this style of eating since as early as 2004/2005. I always thought it was crazy. I was raised on Burger King, McDonald’s, Chef Boyaradee, Kraft Mac n Cheese, Spaghettios and abundant…

Sometimes you just need your mom…or someone who understands you.
This post has two parts. This is the first and the second can be found here. A week ago today (as in last Tuesday) was the two month anniversary of my mom’s death. I got through the day fairly well, likely because it was a busy day between a playdate at McDonald’s (with my fabulous…

Second-Loaf
I made another loaf of the same honey white I made yesterday but this time used the sandwich setting rather than basic. The results were nice with a finer crumb and more tender crust. Nice! The recipe calls for gluten and I don’t have any–can’t wait to see if adding gluten will make these loaves…

Legos, yes…legos!
On Tim Hawkins: I love comedy…and “clean” comedy I can let the kids watch is a good thing in my opinion. Sometimes he’s a little politically incorrect but I think it’s all in good fun. Legos, yes, so incredibly true. My husband, who isn’t as good at scanning the floor in front of him as…

Gaining a healthier attitude about the marriage partnership.
This post is the second in a two-part series. The first is here. Not long after my mom died, my dad mused that my relationship with my mother had interfered with my relationship with my husband. I knew that was true to some extent, because she really detested T from the moment she first saw…

Still Gleeking…
Amazon has season 2 of Glee for 94 cents an episode, so I’m all caught up now. I guess there will be a couple more this season–so cool how they are available less than a week after they air! I still love the show although I have found the last few episodes to be a…

Gleek Out!
I have no idea why I waited so long to watch Glee, especially since season 1 has been in the Netflix queue for a while now! I was just finishing up all four seasons of Big Love in the first couple weeks after my mom passed away and I needed a new show to occupy…
