Well, it finally happened. It’s taken nearly 10 months, but it’s finally happened. And I do believe there was an audible “THUNK” as my jaw hit the floor. I’ve finally matched my lowest recorded weight from last October. Yeah, baby. I’m back. And leaner than ever. Well, not really. But leaner than in a long… Continue reading South Beach Update: Miracle on the Beach

Resting
It’s the end of my very first week working full-time, and I gotta tell you, I’m tired! I’m not used to waking up earlier than my children on a regular basis. I’m not used to having to cook breakfast and make four lunches and feed both pets and get showered and dressed and out the… Continue reading Resting
The 444
Okay, so I admit, this will not be my most creative post. It will not be my finest hour in the blogosphere. This post will not represent the quality of content or style that many have come to expect from me. I’ve survived two days of full-time work…but I’m tired, my brain is tired, and… Continue reading The 444
The Journey Begins
Well here it is. The day my children have alternately dreaded and anticipated all summer long. The day I’ve been so anxious about for the past few weeks. The day circled in red on our calendar. The first day of school. And while I can hardly believe Trey is beginning his next-to-last year of elementary… Continue reading The Journey Begins
Meet the Teacher!
Well the moment of truth has arrived…last night was Meet the Teacher Night at McGowen! We finally learned who the victims …er…lucky leaders are! We actually knew who Crisana’s teacher would be because we received a phone call from her earlier in the week, reminding us of the upcoming Meet the Teacher and supply drop-off… Continue reading Meet the Teacher!
I love the smell of crayons in the morning…
It’s back-to-school time! And you know what that means! New crayons!! Seriously, is there anything better than a freshly-opened box of crayons, where all the tops are neatly filed and lined up straight in a row? Or the look of a brand-new sharpened pencil, with the eraser square and pink, and the wood straight and… Continue reading I love the smell of crayons in the morning…
From Six Flags to No Flags
We have had a great summer enjoying all the fun that the Dallas metroplex has to offer. And when Charity and Noah decided to make the trek north for a quick visit before the start of school, we knew we would have to take them for a day of “More Flags, More Fun†at Six… Continue reading From Six Flags to No Flags
Brace Face
Okay, so Trey got his braces er, excuse me, his BRACKETS for his braces today. The orthodontist will wait to put in the wires until we’re done turning his upper expander, in a couple of months. Trey sure is proud, as if having braces is a lifelong dream of his. But despite the wires, he… Continue reading Brace Face
Cookin’ on the Beach: Super Summer Suppers!
Okay, this is hands-down one of the greatest meals I’ve had since we started South Beach. Totally yum-o. For Phase 1, leave off the buns…though that is truly one of the things that made this such a great meal. For Phase 2, we used sugar-free Nature’s Own Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns, and though it certainly… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Super Summer Suppers!
I will CUT you…
As you probably know, I’ve been out of touch lately. Since Thursday, I’ve been holed up with 6 other women in a little house in Denton scrapping my life away. Four consecutive days of scrapping can make one a little stir crazy, so we decided to liven things up every once in awhile. And this… Continue reading I will CUT you…
