It’s almost time to pimp my ass for a pay cheque. Going back to work to get paid by The Man in the corporate world so my family can enjoy new clothes, good food, toys, and hopefully a vacation can be snuck in there too. And dear I dream to retire early. I’ll probably still … Continue reading

Haters are gonna Hate
One of my Darlings called me the other day to rant about her youth life. It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, but is teenage life ever that? Sadly, there are a few haters in her school that are giving her a hard time. My MaMa Bear instinct kicked in and I wanted to go down … Continue reading
First Foods
I love that I am able to stay home for the first year of my baby’s life. To be able to give him the best start in his health with breast milk, but to also be able to watch all the milestones so far: following me with his eyes being able to hold his head … Continue reading

Discipline
Did you get the beats when you were little? Or did you stand in the corner? When I say ‘beats’ I don’t mean abuse. Abuse is WRONG. I don’t mean closed hands, bleeding, or broken bones. I mean discipline. Don’t get it twisted. If you are hurting your children you need to stop immediately and … Continue reading

Friend or Parent or Both?
So, my Darling asks her friend “how are things with your mom?”. The girl answers “Better. She’s more my friend than mom”. Her answer sparked an emotion in me. Not sure if it’s admiration or disapproval. Some of her choices are every parents nightmare, but judge not lest ye be judged…something about throwing rocks when … Continue reading

When you’re a teenager or young adult it may happen very quickly. One day you see your family every day and night. Then BAM! Your parents wonder … Continue reading

Is your partner dieting? Is it tough? I’ve documented some of my own dieting dramatics like how Franklin f-uped my breakfast order and I was kinda pissed about it post, temptations, and my biggest loser challenges from the beginning, a few of my loses, and my couple of wins. The Diet Days have not been … Continue reading
Biggest Loser Update – I’m $5 Richer! W00t!!
I walk through the door and the mind battle begins. He wants to do the weigh-in right away. “Come on, lets weigh-in! You’re going down.” Considering he lost 5-lbs last weigh-in I wasn’t feeling too confidant. It doesn’t help when I hear Franklin says “hey, you lost weight. your belly isn’t hanging over your pants … Continue reading
