We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Regardless of the amount of time I have in the morning, I ensure that we've all eaten breakfast, even if it's simply a bowl of cereal. Both of my children started eating Cheerios as their first cereal. The toasted whole grain oat cereal is low in fat and sugar, packed with 14 vitamins and mine... Read More »

Most days, I really don't have the time to spend applying makeup. If I'm lucky, I'll brush a bronzer all over my face, add some lip gloss and a bit of eyeshadow. As a woman, it's important to me that I still make attempts to present myself well. As a mom, I need tips and ... Read More »

Now that summer is nearly here, I've been actively cutting back on calories and getting out and about with the kids to lose the rest of this baby weight. Weight is one of the most sensitive issues a woman will face and it's one of the most difficult to approach head on.

I do a lot of driving. I live in between Los Angeles and San Diego, and inevitably, much of what we do is in one or both of those counties. Unlike most major cities, public transportation is difficult to rely on as a sole means of getting around. The cities are spread out a... Read More »

Have you seen my hair? It's super thick and curly. And up until I became pregnant with my daughter, it was highlighted (all that remains are some roots in desperate need of a touch up). So now that I'm 4 months post partum, I'm starting to shed all of that excess hair that accumulated during my pregnancy. Which leaves me wondering...should I purchase hair care... Read More »

Now that the holidays are over, I'm looking forward to a tiny break when it comes to the kitchen. While I'm not a huge fan of packaged foods, I do utilize them on occasion. With two children and a husband who goes back to work this week, I'm on my own!

Have you ever stopped to think what breakfast really means? To break the fast...meaning...you've just awoken from 9 glorious hours of sleep 5 interupted hours of sleep (when you piece it all together) and you're famished (um...that's me...right now!). Add the fact that I'm nursing a baby to the mix and you can see how important breaking that fast really is. And ... Read More »

I have a vague recollection of the last movie my husband and I saw (except I can't remember what it was!). Pretty soon it's about to get even more difficult since we're about to have a baby! However, for those of you who aren't about to have a baby, and would like a night ... Read More »

Do you know how much fiber you need in one day? To be honest, I had to look it up (approximately 25-35 grams per day). And, I'm not entirely certain I am consuming that amount, despite the fact that I have almost completely eliminated white flour from my diet.

I love to snack. I could graze all day eat small, frequent meals every day if I had the time to plan them out. What I don't love are high calorie, high fat snacks that leave me feeling hungry. General Mills has just launched their all-new Chex Mi... Read More »
