HUGE

Lisa | August 31, 2010

If you haven’t noticed by my recent posts, I’m kind of interested in/sensitive to/hyper-aware of the issue of obesity, eating disorders, and weight loss.  Some of the reason is because I’m obese. Some of the reason is because I have my own eating disorder.
ABC Family has this show, called HUGE (and is why I named [...]

Dear Facebook

Lisa | August 26, 2010

Dear Facebook,
Forgive me for my pissy rant, but I’m really annoyed with you.  I remember a time when you were a means of communication.  A place where I could catch up with old friends.  A place where I can keep up with new friends.  A place where I can share pictures of my kids and [...]

Quiet Time Activities

Lisa | July 23, 2010

So here’s how “Quiet Time” works during the summer in our house… our two-bedroom house.
Sophie goes into her room to look through books, color and draw, play with her toys (quietly… as she rarely falls asleep).  Annabelle, on the other hand, goes to sleep in my room.  I have to lie down with her because [...]

Influencing our Kids

Lisa | June 9, 2010

As many of you are parents, you and I have the same goal:
Give our kids a healthy view of food and their bodies.
That being said, I woke up this morning to my daughter, 5, making a bowl of yogurt with strawberries and grapes mixed in. (Gee… I [...]

Exercise and Motivation

Lisa | June 4, 2010

****Post I’m sharing from my SparkPeople blog****
Don’t let the title of this post fool any of you. I’m still motivated. I’m not reaching a plateau (I don’t think). I’m not bored.
I’m really HORMONAL! I know that exercise is good during this time of the month and I will get [...]

Metamorphosis

Lisa | May 29, 2010

So, a week or so ago we found three caterpillars climbing up the wall on the outside of our home. My 4-yo Sophia had learned about the metamorphosis process at school so I thought it would be cool to review it at home and collect the caterpillars. So I grabbed [...]

What ARE you doing? Where are you GOING?

Lisa | May 26, 2010

****I’m not plugging SparkPeople for any other reason than the fact that I LOVE them!****
About two weeks ago my BFF came to visit me from Atlanta.  She had lost some weight and was looking pretty great.  I was curious about it but I didn’t really care.  I didn’t think I was ready to lose weight.  [...]

Pizza and Beer… Part 2: The Review

Lisa | April 11, 2010

So, it’s been a long time coming but I am finally writing my review.  After all the vacations, illnesses, and death *whew* I’m tired again just thinking back on it all! 
So back in 2009, CSN, home of Cookware.com, sent me a request to do a review and giveaway for an item of my choosing on [...]

Sunday Tears

Lisa | April 4, 2010

Yes dears, if you couldn’t tell by the title, it’s a sad post… Skip now if you don’t want to hear the gut wrenching (at least to me) meanderings of my brain. 
Every Sunday has been unbearable.  A marking of the weeks since Mom died.  I am very anxious to get to the point where I [...]
