ighNo, this isn’t me but kiddie kettlebells!! How cute are you? Because I am a good little consumerist, I have a wish list. I generally just pull it out for my birthday, Mother’s Day, Groundhog Day and all other Major holidays but today you get a sneak preview. My wish list reads like the annual …
My stars, you people have opinions! 41 comments and counting on my “Primal Problems” post and every single one of them well thought out, passionate and informative. And that’s not even counting the incredible number of you who e-mailed me about this. It’s taken me all day to read and process them all in my …
I’m officially halfway done with the Great Primal Experiment. Actually halfway plus ONE. Which is important because I am counting every day on this sucker. I still don’t like eating meat. I still miss my morning oatmeal and dark chocolate. But hey, I’m loving all the veggies and I’m not at all constipated. (What? You …
Photo Credit: Flippin’ Sweet Gear In my life I’ve had many occasions to hear how different women and girls talk about their weight and body image. Not because I’m special but because we all talk about this kind of thing a lot. We’ve all witnessed the post-ice-cream meltdowns of a normal girl who considers herself …
The photographer described this final shot as “the perfect blend of femininity and strength.” I have to agree. I have a new respect for fitness models. You know, the girls in your fave ab-mags like Women’s Health or Shape that manage to do a one-fingered plank or even something gynecologically humiliating and still manage to …

I do read and enjoy every single comment you guys make (and don’t worry about correcting me – I’m all about the learning! So call …
You know Bollywood, right? Well, if you are anything like me (and who isn’t?) then you secretly try and imitate their awesome dance moves in the privacy of your closet, despite not having a walk-in. So when Acacia Lifestyle contacted me to ask if I wanted to try out any of their videos, I got …
Nothing I love like a good Polka – really! They are just such good, foot-stomping fun. I know that makes me the ultimate geek. I’d be embarrassed about that except that I claimed my title years ago and now just wear my Linux shirt with pride. Besides, when was the last time you polka’d? I …
I don’t watch movies. Or TV. Yeah, I know, I’m a riot at cocktail parties. Good thing I dance funny or I’d never get invited anywhere. But my kids watch the occasional movie. (What? A mom’s got a get a break sometime. You think this website runs itself? My kids DON’T NAP.) And ever since …
Lying to yourself about your health makes about as much sense as this. Come on, you can tell me. You’re an adult now so hopefully you didn’t resort to the old under-the-napkin or feed-it-to-the-dog tricks.
