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[…]

My month 17 technically ends Sunday, but I will have no time between now and then to actually get on the computer to post, so we are reporting a couple days early! I’ve got two workouts left to finish the month and before I begin my 18th month Monday, they will be done! January was[…]

I hope you had a great set of holidays and Happy New Year! This past month has been a crazy one, the first two weeks I fought the beginnings of a cold, we had 4 family Christmases over the month and other family functions, a lot of eating outings and takeout (soooo much takeout!), baking[…]

Ice Cream. I like it. I like it a lot. I love it. I hate it. I have mental battle with it. Ugh – it is a total love hate relationship. It’s no secret I love to bake and I love my sweets. I have toned down on them significantly over the years and feel more[…]

This was a month of less than stellar eating and a month I’m ready to put behind me. I’ve done a lot worse, but every week of this month had its moments. This last week I had good intentions with going refined sugar free for the week, but let’s just say today I had McDonald’s[…]

Month 13 started off very strong. The first two weeks I kicked butt on my workouts, adding in cross country runs with my son, mini bonus challenges and pilates sessions, in addition to the 3 Royally Fit workouts sent to my inbox. The third week was tough. At the end of week two my 94[…]
