This Saturday, September 6th, there's something very fun happening. LeapFrog is collaborating with Guinness World Records to create a 3-hour event on the beach of Santa Monica! From 1-4pm, a DJ will be spinning KidzBop tunes as local children and their parents enjoy healthy snacks as they gear up to become the new Guinness World Records holders for "most children making sand angels on the beach," "most people hopping on one foot," and "most people doing a swim dance." Also, soccer star Mia Hamm … [Read more...]
Fitness Flower – The Bathroom Begonia Review
So I've slowly been trying to become more active. I've realized that I need to make sure I have good self-esteem in order for my daughter, when she's older, to have good self-esteem with herself. I put my body down a lot. It drives my husband crazy. I need to get out of the habit of doing that, and I truly believe the only way I'm going to be able to do that is through losing weight so I can truly feel good about myself.

"I have work/blogging I need to do." "I have a headache." I have to stop the excuses. If I don't, I'm just going to gain more weight. Luckily with just exercising two times a week … [Read more...]
It’s Time To Get My Butt in Gear and Exercise!
A few days ago I joined a gym. Again. I had joined a gym a couple of months after Riley was born... so about two years ago. I went maybe three times. It was really too far away and with the vehicle we had at the time, it was costing us too much in gas. So I stopped going and cancelled my membership (luckily I was on a month-to-month "contract" so it wasn't too big of a deal). With my grief of losing my mom I have either been eating too much (I guess you would call it binge eating) or not … [Read more...]
