This past month flew by. With school ending, my son’s summer activities ramped up, all the rain, and various things we had to get done by month’s end, I’m ready for summer to start, maybe some sunshine and some holidays! I spent much of this past long weekend actually relaxing (and cleaning) as the past[…]

Month 21. That’s a pretty long time for me to not have jumped off and on the bandwagon. In the past (ages 20 to 33) I have been great at getting skinny, and falling off, and gaining 5-15 lbs and getting right back at getting skinny again. I was a perfect yo-yo! This time it’s[…]

Considering I just left McDonalds with 3 boys in tow, where I ran into another Royally Fit member (she shall remain nameless as I am cool like that), life is all about moderation right? Today is really all about hello May and goodbye April! Phew! Let’s make this short and sweet! This month started off[…]

This month was a rollercoaster! Workouts, eating, appointments… doctors, vet, specialists, outings and occasions… extra homework and focus on areas my son needs a little work in, a handful of a puppy who demands my attention (we started training yesterday and that was beyond stressful). It was mentally taxing and a little (lot) tiring (my[…]

Today is Apple Pie Day for our family. One year ago today we said goodbye to my Nanny. She was the rock to our family and has been greatly missed. Life has not been the same, but through it all I’ve found strength, focus, and a drive to live each day to its fullest and[…]

Month 18. I’ll warn you it is a long one. I’ve been giving to myself for 18 months now but I feel compelled this year to do even a little more. Since my last post I’ve turned 35 and I am determined to make this year one of my healthiest yet. I am not defining[…]

I have made a goal to read more this year, every year! Sure, I am always reading things via my phone or endlessly scrolling my newsfeed, but I would like to read more things with content and that give me optimism or an escape from life for a few pages. Read real books and turn[…]

Almost a year ago I switched to an all natural deodorant (you can read about my change here). I do not have a family history of breast cancer, but I am not looking to start one either. I have read enough articles about possible links to chemicals we are applying daily to our bodies (moisturizers,[…]

This past Saturday my son and his friends took part in a cooking class with Pepperbean. I had heard great things about her and her classes as at least two of my friends had registered their boys (older than my own) in classes with her. The smiles the boys came back with confirmed they enjoyed[…]

We posted earlier this month that we were looking for a family to test a package of GoodNites Bedtime Pants we received from Influenster. We found a family who was willing to review and struggling with their 7 year old son wetting the bed 5-6 times per week. This is what they had to say[…]
