30, flirty, and thriving. That's what I thought of whenever it came to turning 30. I'd never even thought much about turning 30 until I saw 13 Going On 30. Yet, here I am, 30 years old. I don't quite know what to think or what I was expecting, especially when it came to my 30th…

"I can't lose weight without a gym!" I used to have that same mentality. I had my most success with weight loss when I had a gym membership or lived somewhere that had access to one. In 2007, I lost 20 pounds just because I lived at an apartment complex with a little fitness center. However,…

Banana splits for breakfast. Sounds too good to be true, right? Wrong! Now, I am not a banana fan. I will only eat bananas if they are plain and not even browning. To even think about combining them with ice cream never made sense to me. However, breakfast banana splits are a different story. Just…

Big Legs I was made fun of growing up. Before the school day, people would hold the door shut in winter so that I had to stand in the cold. Most days I would hear comments like “Don’t get the green tray!” You’ll marry Jayni Green!”. (These things were hurtful to a little kid). It…

Today I faced that usual problem many moms face - what are we cooking for dinner? It was too late to throw something in the Crock Pot. I didn't have any tomato soup. I was going to settle with making some pancakes from a mix I had in the pantry, then I thought I…

Success comes in cans, not in cannots Joel Weldon Growing up, my soccer coach (AKA Mom) had rules she would have us recite at every practice/game. The last rule was always Positive Mental Attitude. "If you think you can't, you won't. If you think you can, you will. And we will!" I said this phrase…
