Pines~I have never looked through the recipes on here so I would not know. Sorry that I am of no help to you. Stacey~Hope you have fun in Park City. You won't be that far from where I live. It is about a 45-60 min drive (depending on traffic and who is behind the wheel :wink: :laugh: ) Love when the hubby steps in and…

Abbra welcome! I use this group not only to share my weight loss journey with but also everyday trials. :smile: Stacey~I know what you mean on the baking. I "grounded" myself from baking cookies because I eat A LOT of them myself and it is very very bad because when I make cookies it makes 4 dozen +. :huh: We all have our…

Go Amy go! I haven't drank that much water in a while. I really need to get back in the habit of drinking that much water I just feel so much better when I do. Plus I have more stamina. Home~Hope that the little on is okay. I hate it when my kids get hurt makes me want to cry. :sad: Children get hurt and I don't think that…

Nicole~Do you know the meaning of slow down?! :wink: I am just kidding around with you but WOW girl that is awesome!!! I am feeling better in the sense of the stomach issues that I had been having (ate too much pepperoni :tongue: ) but I have been feeling a little down today. Just can't seem to pull it together. Amy~I have…

Katie~good to hear! The nebulizer has seemed to work for our little ones. I hope that it will work for yours too. I haven't been feeling very well the last 2 days. :sick: I think a trip to the Dr. is in order. :ohwell: Well I best get going me and the hubby are going to watch a movie together.:love:

Katie~Sorry to hear that the little one is having problems. However glad that they have been able to help him to be able to stop wheezing and breath easier. Having your child admitted to the hospital is never fun. My 3 and 2 yo were both admitted to the hospital as babies one for rsv at 2 mo and the other for jaundice at 6…

Welcome to all newcomers! Stacey~I can completely relate. Lately I have been easily "set off". My hormones are out of whack with TOM. But after I "lose it" I think back and say to myself was that worth it. So hard to think of that in the heat of it though. Home~So important for the both of you to be on the same page. I too…

I have been doing horrible on exercise/tracking/drinking enough but have still done good on portion control and staying away from the sweets. I have not been able to log like I would like to because I am back to using the hubby's laptop the family comp monitor went out and we have not been able to replace it yet. I hope to…

Katie~5 am? Are you kidding me? I can't get out of bed earlier than 7 am. Go you! Way to go on the running too. Nicole~Way to go on the cross stitch. I need an activity like that so that I can having something to do during nap time besides house work. :laugh: Good luck on running alone. I too have such a hard time working…

Welcome to new comers! Nicole~It could have been worse but it wasn't great either. By 4pm yesterday the kids were driving me crazy and I was ready for bedtime to be here. I put all of them to bed before 7:30 pm. Even the oldest which don't usually go to bed until 8:30pm. I now have about 12 hours left until he gets home…

April~I mostly drink my straight but I do occasionally drink it with crystal light on the go packets. That is only when I just don't feel like drink water. For me I would like to drink most of mine plain though. Sometimes it is hard for me to get in all of my water.

Welcome April! This group has given me sometime to be able to connect with other SAHM's. It has been great! Stacey~Isn't it nice to do stuff for yourself? Too many times as moms forget about ourselves. I am hoping that today flies by (yesterday dragged). I noticed that we all did better when we kept ourselves busy than…

To the one who said to look up the calories. Texas Roadhouse doesn't actually have it posted any more how many calories are in the food because they had too many people complaining that they weren't right on. I love eating there and was very disappointed that they didn't have that available but I worked my butt off and…

Katie~Way to go on the loss! Amypyr~I am having troubles with the prospects of it as well. It's only been 6 hours since he left and the kids are already asking where he is and when he is coming home. Good luck with the Renaissance Festival. Loved the comment about your son's checkup me and a friend got a good laugh! Barb~…

Stacey~That is funny that you say it's easier with shoes off because that is what the hubby told me too. I didn't have my shoes on! :grumble: I don't like to do ab workouts with them on if I can get away with it. On my Turbo Jam Ab Jam I have to wear shoes at least for the first half because you are doing stuff standing.…

Nicole~Being sick sucks rocks! Hope you get feeling better soon.:flowerforyou: Amypyr~Way to go on the running. It feels great when you can accomplish things like that. I tried to run home from the kids school today but weak bladder from having children = result I didn't want. :laugh: So I had to settle for walking fast.…

Katie~Good luck with the close friends. I have as yet to find some close friends here and I have been living here for four years. :tongue: The close friends that I have I have had since before I moved here. One lives too far away to do anything with and the other I hardly do things with. Home~Yay on the baby quilt!…

Jessica~I know how that is to have the little ones under foot while you are trying to workout it can be so aggravating. :grumble: That is why I won't exercise unless they are in bed or the older kids are home to help entertain the younger ones for me. Home~good luck on the job search. Blue~Good luck with the MIL. I can…

Welcome to the newcomers! Stacey said it perfectly, here here! :laugh: Stacey I checked it out online and I will def be getting that book! I tried the whole thing about independence. It worked with my 2 yo (boy). Nicole sorry to hear that you got the crud! Hope you get feeling better soon. Well this weekend (like I said in…

Stacey~ I so need to get that book and check it out! Such a good idea with going to the backyard and yelling "I love you" to each other! Well we went to a birthday party yesterday and I did great on the cake and ice cream! One scoop and one cupcake....before it would have been 3 scoops and a large piece of cake. This time…

Amanda~Yes I do mine from scratch. When I first started making bread it was heavy and most of the time dry but now it is moist light and fluffy. I have given many loaves of bread to neighbors and members of the same church as mine and I have been told that it is the best bread they have tasted. Not sure if that is them…

Nicole~good luck on the singing! I love to sing BUT not a fan of doing it in front of people. Katie~I felt guilty killing it. LOL It wasn't hurting anyone or going after us. Plus it wasn't me that caught it so that is the key. If I could have gotten to it then it would have been dead! :laugh: Since the hubby caught it (he…

Welcome Vauleese! This is a great place for support. There is a SAHM message board you should check it out. It has helped keep me sane at times I felt like I would need to be admitted into a institute! Good luck on your weight loss journey!

Stacey~Sounds like you had a fun time on your field trip. Thanks I know we all have those days. It just sucks when one day is a great day and the next it's crap! Just makes it that much worse. But that is how it seems life goes like for me. Katie~Glad to see you back! Sounds like you have been busy and having some fun.…

Welcome Ckonner! Stacey~Oh man I hate it when the kids get hurt like that! My oldest had to get staples in his head last October. I am glad that I didn't have to go with him to do it. The hubby went, he said he did great he even laughed when they were stapling it. Go figure! I would have been bawling like a lil baby! The…

Stacey~ Thanks for sharing the blog with us! Made me laugh, I needed it. Man cookies are my enemy too! I just can't have them in the house otherwise I eat them all up. :grumble: My husband has told me that I need a reduction (he doesn't want me to end up with back problems) but I don't want to do it that way if I can avoid…

Melissa~I have not had time to exercise like I would like to. So please don't feel like you are slacking. The most I have been able to do is walk to pick up my daughter from school and that was only 2 times last week. Welcome Jennifer this is a great group of ladies! It has helped me stay sane.

Home6~Yeah there will be more canning going on in my home here in the very near future. :laugh: Good luck on your list of things to do! I so wish that I had that grocery bill. I am lucky if I get out with $100 and that is really being "skimpy" but I do have a large family. That is why I want to can so much is to help with…

Welcome to the new comers! This is a great group of ladies. Stacey~I hope that your daughter is okay and doing better. I hate it when the lil ones get hurt. Nicole~how often do you make bread? Do you do it with a bread maker or "old fashioned" way? I love making bread. I have made a total of 12 loaves of bread in the last…

Well I am officially done with the canning at least for now. When my apple tree is ready then I will be doing apples but then I hope to be able to have more help/company than I did this time. Now for the cleanup. I am not looking forward to cleaning the kitchen floor but it needs to be done. Also wanted to share my…
