It is good to see you Karen! You hang in there (((hugs))) <3

What a cool tea cup Marcella. I have been unpacking the kitchen wondering where my tea cup and tea pot have gotten to. So thank you for sharing yours. :) Cindy, I hope you get back to normal life. It is such a relief after running so hard for a month. I am sorry TOM still visits you. Hopefully it won't for too much longer.…

What a cutie!

What a beautiful young woman your daughter is Cindy. I love her dress and corsage, just beautiful. I hope she makes wonderful memories. Another milestone for you as well. Try to get some rest and take it easy. Alice, I am sorry about your foot. Tendon pain is the worst. Keep exercising them and take your time. We have most…

Happy Friday Em! I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!!!

Me too. I am in Central Time zone.

I love it!!!

Happy travels Barb!!! I am so glad you are finally some where you have a lot of awesome food choices. Enjoy your trip!

Hi All! Thank you Alice, I got them. Everyone have a wonderful day!

Happy belated anniversary EM. Very, very happy spring time! Enjoy the warmer weather and all the pretty flowers and trees. :)

I haven't cleaned a bathroom or ran the vacuum in 15 years (the oldest is 31) my two youngest are 15 and 16. I am going to miss them when they move out in a couple of years. I will have to pay for a cleaning service. The older children's SOs rave about their cooking and house keeping abilities. I told the kids when I was…

WOW! Beautiful, she is amazing.

Hi Everyone, The girls and I finished painting and cleaning up last night. All that needs to be done is some trim work that Mark can do when he comes back from Canada. So now the girls and I will start moving. In a perfect world, I would like to be done Sunday. We are suppose to get three days of rain so that will slow us…

You are a tease Alice, awesome news and got to run- Don't keep us in suspense. Your NSV's are great, it looks like it is time to go nicker whole wardrobe shopping. Marcella - How is your garden coming along? Do you have any ideas about naughty Mr. Bunny, he is now noshing on the hosta. I do have to say though, he is a…

Alice - Is this energy a result of your yoga weekend? I wish you could bottle it and send some my way. I hope you have sweet dreams and an awesome tomorrow! :)

Hi Everyone! Cindy - I am glad you got back safe and sound. Yes, it is time for things for us with no guilt. We have given long and faithful service and it is time <3 Jen - I am so glad you are recovering. Take time to heal up. <3 The girls rooms, hallway, living room, entryway, and kitchen are completed. The woodwork in…

1. Log all food everyday. 2. When I get over stressed find something about the situation to laugh at. edit didn't quote like I wanted it to.

I saw this quote posted on a friends wall this morning "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." ~ Winston Churchill. This weekend I will be finishing up on the construction end of our kitchen (now including the front entry & bedroom hallway) remodeling. I am hoping to be…

Good morning Barb! I'm glad you made it home safe. Enjoy the rhythms of home. Good morning Marcella and everyone else here, I hope everyone has an awesome day!

Alice it is coming slowly but surely. The house has locking door knobs that if not turned properly, automatically lock. I have warned the girls daily that they need to make sure they are unlocked. Yesterday afternoon I took a break and sat on the patio. I heard a small packet of M&Ms calling my name from the kitchen. I got…

Wow Cindy I looked infrared thermography up and didn't understand a lot of the definition. Hopefully you will be able to get a few more food choices. Take care of yourself. <3

Jen - I hope you are doing o.k. <3

They are most places and on their computers too. But just because they are cops it doesn't make them safe. Agent OJ - My hubby would like to hit his air horn when he sees someone not paying attention, but he is afraid it would cause an accident.

My husband is an over the road truck driver. He watches people on their devices while driving all the time. He says the worst offenders are the cops.

Hi Barb - I think we have all used food as a comfort. That you are able to identify that you are indulging and that you are letting yourself slide is awesome, you are not mindlessly indulging. Being aware is a big part of the battle. Do not let shame get to you. There should be no shame that we are weak, we are human.…

I hope you get safety through your surgery Jen. Take care of yourself and take it easy. You are in my thoughts and prayers. (((hugs)))

Happy trails Barb and Cindy!!!

Way to go NE!!! I hope it gets easier for you. I would like to try it after I get settled.

This week I was successful with eating my vegies. I think it really helped that I used Britain's NHS five a day guideline of an 80g serving (dried fruit 30g). It made it easier than having to remember what was a half cup serving or what was a cup serving. Out of the seven days I had five a day four days. Since 30 days…
