Despite the fact that my time as ... Read More » -

Published on Thursday, January 27, 2011 by caryn Last week, PBS Kids began airing brand new episodes of the Parents’ Choice Recommended TV series Dinosaur Train. Coincidentally, it timed out perfectly with dinosaur week at my son's preschool. Not only did he tell me all about the names of the dinosaurs he learned, he proceeded to roar around the house in his new Dinosaur Train Striped Footed Pajamas. Childr... Read More » -

Gleekin’ Out…Again!
Published on Wednesday, January 26, 2011 by caryn I don't have time to watch a lot of television. There is so much beauty to explore...new places to discover. I'm busy and I prefer it that way. But on those evenings when the kids have actually managed to go to sleep at a decent hour and I just want to relax and do nothing, I turn on Glee. The show is really one of the best I've seen in a long time...and I'm ... Read More » -

New Year, New You: Sophisticated Fashion From...
Published on Wednesday, January 26, 2011 by caryn The new year is a time when I think about some of the things I'd like to change in my life. If you can believe it, I have not purchased many articles of clothing for myself since my first pregnancy. I told myself that I wanted to wait until I had shed the baby weight and celebrate with a few new outfits. Combine that with the fact that I work from home part-time, an... Read More » -

Weight Loss: Focusing On The Positive
Published on Tuesday, January 25, 2011 by caryn Last week, I talked about how I approach weight loss and invited readers to share ideas on what has worked well. For Louise from MomStart, "it took a lot of work," which is something many women identify with. I really liked what she had to say about "focusing on the simple things" and "accepting that any movement is better than no movement." What struck me about... Read More » -

Making Healthier Choices While Dining Out
Published on Monday, January 24, 2011 by caryn One of my aspirations for 2011 is to decrease the amount of times I eat out weekly and to cook (along with my husband) a majority of our meals. It is easier to control the ingredients in home-cooked meals and more affordable than dining out. And while it's feasible that I could cook all 21 of our meals each week, it's not practical for our particular situation. ... Read More » -

Published on Sunday, January 23, 2011 by caryn After many months of designing and redesigning, my site is complete (well...almost!).

Published on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 by caryn One my resolutions for 2011 is to cook most of our meals and limit the number of times we eat out. Not only is eating out expensive, it's very difficult to control the types of ingredients, the quality of the food, and the portion sizes offered at dining establishments. My son observed both my husband and I cooking and baking in the kitchen from infancy. He... Read More »
