Um… what is a yob?? No seriously, I have no idea. Photo Credit “Nooooo!” Jelly Bean shrieked, ripping her sock off for the twentieth time that morning. As I watched her carefully select another sock and pull it on – only to be frustrated yet again when the seam in the toe didn’t line up exactly …
Almost all the pics for this shoot were done in my house! So if you’ve ever wanted to see my bathroom when it’s clean this may be your only chance. Dusting, laundry, sitting on the toilet – it’s all stuff you have to do anyhow so why not work in a little incidental exercise as …

“Mom! I need food now! My little legs are so weak!!” My 7-year-old son eats like his dad (and is dramatic like his mom) so I wasn’t surprised when he came barging in the door after school as if he were auditioning for Oliver! He then proceeded to eat half the kitchen and only quit when …
As I’m currently in the pre-church Sunday morning insanity (according to my boys ties are just nooses with nice fabric) this will be quick: For all my local friends: As you may have heard, our friend and YMCA spin instructor (and mom of 3 and super-talented cyclocross racer and all around awesome person) Heather George …

See? This is what happens with wheat! It makes you so crazy you start shucking clothes and the next thing you know you’re running through a scratchy field with nothing but your wheat-club to defend yourself with! Oh the horror – I must avert my eyes. (photo credit) Claim: Modern (a.k.a. monkeyed-with) wheat is bad …

I was first introduced to Adderall a few years ago by a friend deep in the anorexic abyss. At the time I wrote it off as just more evidence of the all-consuming nihilism of the disease. Not only was she starving herself, working out hours every day and popping diet pills like candy but now …
