Cold & flu season has already attacked our house. Kora came home with the sniffles last week. She was sneezing and blowing her nose continually over 2-3 days and then she cleared up. Unfortunately, she shared her cold with me and I was down and out for nearly a week. It was rough! And now [...]
Grandpa Randy’s back has caught up to all his athletic endevours, two auto accidents, and his tree climbing jobs during his youth. In fact, five years ago he had back surgery, which helped for about four years. Unfortunately, it is starting to hurt again. I really didn’t want to see him go through surgery one [...]
What is the definition of joy? According to the online dictionary it is, “something that provides a source of happiness.” That is exactly what my pair of Joya Fitness Shoes does for me. I have been a huge fan of another brand of shoes. In fact I have 3 or 4 pairs in different styles, but [...]
Ever since my 7 year old daughter was a baby, she has suffered from a mosquito bite allergy. After being bitten by a mosquito, the bites turn into extremely itchy hives, making her miserable. However, I really don’t like putting chemicals directly on her skin if I don’t have to. When I saw the Insect [...]
I am so happy the warm weather has arrived. Warm weather equals being outside. But, being outside at night brings out the biting bugs. I am one person who gets the terrible swollen itchy bumps from mosquito bites. The last thing I want is for my new little man, baby Grayson, to get them too. [...]
It is interesting to think back to the evolution of the “bottled water” consumption in my household. For awhile there, I was purchasing case after case of spring water, mostly due to the convenience of having the bottles on hand. Then, I moved on to buying flavored waters. And most recently, I have been on [...]
Often when I fly for work I will get up at a ridiculous hour in the morning, fly to where ever I’m working, and then work in the office for the day. Since I’m waking up so early, generally I fall asleep on the plane and wake up with “plane mouth” – that yucky, sticky, [...]
I did it! I officially wore the BodyMedia Fit Armband BW every day for 30 days! I can’t take a lot of credit for wearing the Armband consistently though, because it was so comfortable that the majority of the time I had no idea it was there. Only when I was logging food, checking on [...]
When are you willing to spend over $3.00 for a 1/2 gallon of milk? Maybe when your 4-year- old granddaughter drinks three glasses of it when she usually turns her nose up at milk! Maybe when you use it to make French toast and it is the best French Toast you have ever made! Maybe [...]
Last week was my third week of wearing the BodyMedia Fit Armband BW. It’s really become a part of me lately and I haven’t minded wearing it at all. It’s such a great tool to keep tabs on how many calories I’ve burned and consumed, my activity level, how many steps, I’ve taken, and how [...]
The statistics about obesity are everywhere these days and I just read some stats that amazed me. Did you know that according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese? Being overweight increases the risk of heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. Thankfully, there’s an easy and tasty solution [...]
Last week marked my second week wearing the BodyMedia Fit Armband BW to help monitor my calorie consumption, caloric burn, activity level, steps taken, and sleep efficiency. I’ve really enjoyed wearing the Armband and learning more about my eating habits, the amount of activity I actually do each day, and how well I sleep. Like [...]
In my attempt to continue my Spring Shape Up, I’ve been wearing the BodyMedia Fit Armband BW. The Armband is part of a body monitoring program and it keeps track of your calories burned, calories consumed, activity level, number of steps taken, sleep, and weight loss. I’ve really enjoyed wearing the Armband and using the [...]
In my quest for the ultimate Spring Shape-Up, I am happy to announce that I was selected to be part of BodyMedia’s Blogger Test Drive. The Test Drive is a challenge to a number of selected bloggers who, for 30 days, will wear the BodyMedia Fit Armband BW and record our experience with the wearable [...]
As summer rounds the corner, I can just hear my shorts, tank tops, and swimsuit calling. It’s this time of year that I get the itch to start moving and to eat healthier. Recently, I had the chance to try a few products from Nutrisystem to help me in my Spring Shape-Up plan and I’m [...]
Suncreen is an everyday must- whether it’s a simple moisturizer with SPF slapped on in the morning or whether you slather the stuff on more than once a day! There is such thing as too much fun in the sun… and sunburns are the proof! As a nurse and as a fair-skinned mom, I am well aware [...]
Like many people my family is constantly battling allergies all year long. Logan and I have a hard time in the Spring and Fall when it rains a lot. Tired Dad Dave really has a problem in the summer when it comes time to cut the grass. His allergies kick in as soon as he [...]
Tired Dad Dave has started the workout DVDs, Insanity, which claims that it might be the hardest workout ever put on DVD and I think that qualifies as insane! He’s been working hard to get in shape and going to the gym regularly, but was looking to change things up. I’ve been following Kim, from [...]
I want to get healthy and stay healthy. I don’t want any of my kids to get sick and I definitely don’t want Tired Dad Andy getting sick. Not only because getting sick is not fun, but because we can’t afford it! Illness means time away from work reducing our income, time, energy, and cost involved [...]
