My husband is funny, he's sweet, he's a great dad, he's honest, he's a hard worker, he loves spending time with me and the kids, he's smart and seriously hot. :happy: We have the same religious beliefs, I trust him completely, and he's never judged me or made me feel bad about my weight gain. He loves all the weird little…

Henry Cavill. :bigsmile:

The only time I really worry about it is when I'm walking in the evenings. I always have my very protective 90lb dog, and usually at least one friend with me. I always have my cell phone with me, and if it's dark, I carry my pepper spray in my hand. I stick to busy, well-lit streets (as busy as they get in my little town…

I had my first at 22 and don't regret it at all. :) She was born 2 months before our 3rd wedding anniversary, and we'd been together 6+ years at that point. Had #2 at 24, and #3 at 26. Honestly, my only regret when it comes to my kids is that I didn't have a 4th at 28. lol! BUT, it's different for everyone. I know plenty…

I'm a photographer (and love it!). :)

I've recently decided to start running again, and my 8 year old daughter and 6 year old son both want to do it with me. I've taken each of them once, and we did 2.3 miles, and both of them were able to run half of the time we were out. I've been a little worried of what people will think of my kids out running, but don't…

Nicest Thing by Kate Nash. :) I had Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know stuck in my head for six straight days, until yesterday.

I've been married 11 years, with my husband for 15. The longest stretch has been 4 weeks after each of my kids. Other than that, I don't think it's ever been more than a week, and even that's pretty rare.

I never go completely alone. I either have my dog (a black lab/husky) and my cell phone and pepper spray, or I go with at least one friend. At least one of us carries a cell phone, and I bring my dog if there are only 2 of us going or it's late. The crime rate in the town I live in is pretty much non-existant, so I don't…

I hope your boyfriend is doing ok, and that you have an awesome time shopping!

We named our daughter Joelle, knowing we would call her Joey 95% of the time. Joey is the name we wanted for her, Joelle is the longer version we liked. I wanted her to have a girly name to use if she hated Joey as she got older. Also gives her the option to go by Elle or Ellie. She's 8 now and introduces herself as Joelle…

My name's Breanne, but I go by Brea, pronounced Bree. I know the spelling makes no sense, but it's how my mom always spelled it and I was probably 20 before I realized it should should've been Bre or Bree. :ohwell: I get Bree-uh a lot. I correct clients once or twice, but after that I just let them go with Bree-uh, lol. I…

I'd be pissed. Definitely go talk to the principal. Both boys should have gotten detention for name calling if that's the school policy, and on top of that, it's completely unfair for your son to miss his field trip.

I went to 7. Four were in the same school district (our elemenbary schools were split into one K-2 school, and one 3-5, plus then middle school and high school). I did Kindergarten, 5th grade, and half of 9th grade at different schools. 9th grade was by choice, the other 2 were b/c we'd moved.

Not mean at all! Honest, but still polite, IMO. Advocare is really big with people in my area right now and for awhile, I was seeing like 20 posts a day about it. Annoying!!

My daughter's 8 years old, 56lbs and 51". She'll be in a booster seat as long as the law requires, and even more than that - till I feel like she's ready. There have been a few occasions where we didn't use the booster (like if she had to sit in the middle seat where there's no shoulder strap). She's not at all concerned…

If you think he'll spend that much, I'd totally go for a Kindle Fire! Two of my friends have them and they're so fun!

My husband and I were together just short of 4 years when we got married. Would've gotten married sooner, but we were in 10th grade when we started dating, so we were only 19 and 20 when we got married, lol. We started talking about marriage a month after we started dating, but part of me knew before our first date (we…

Three way tie for me - English, Irish and Southern. I could listen to men with any of those accents talk allllllll day.

I bought my kids the Leap Pad movies (Letter Factory, Word Factory), and they loved them! With Letter Factory, they knew the sounds of every letter by watching it 2-3 times total. Word Factory helps them put words together and sound them out. We haven't really used any other systems. We just read with them and let them…

I'm in Lynden (little town just north of Bellingham, and right by the Canadian border). :) I've lived here since I was 6 and love it! Such a great little town. :)

My kids are 4, 6, and 8, so it's pretty easy to workout when they're around now (they ride bikes and I walk, or they watch movies in their toy room while I workout in the living room, etc). But when they were younger, I did a lot of walking at night with my best friend after our kids were in bed, or did exercise DVDs…

Wow! I almost don't even want to respond because my "travels" are so pitiful, lol. I live in the US and have been to Washington (live here), Texas, New Mexico (born), Colorado, Nevada, California and Oregon. And I live about 5 minutes south of Canada, so I've been there many times. That's it. Want to go: All the states…

I imagine it varies by person, but I've been using MFP for 9 days, and usually eat about 1/2 of my exercise calories. I've lost 6lbs so far. :)

You told her you were in the hospital and she didn't even ask if you were ok?? Very self-centered and rude on her part. Having a baby (or two) is super exciting, but when your friend is in pain and in the hospital, that's a big deal, too! BTW - I've never dealt with kidney stones, but my best friend did like 2 weeks ago,…

My husband wouldn't like that at all. He really doesn't care about flowers, and he's a salesman at a building materials store. He would NEVER live that down from co-workers or customers. Now if I had food sent to him, he'd loooove that. :)

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my first baby, and it was really hard. I don't really have any advice on the supplements, but prenatals are great just as a regular daily vitamin, if you want to keep taking them.

The "best age" depends on the parents-to-be. I had my first at 22, and 3rd at 26 and wouldn't change anything about it. My husband and I both wanted kids, and we both wanted to be younger parents, so we went for it. :) There are a lot of people out there who should not become parents at 22 years old, though, lol. College…

I have 3 kids and love them to death. I've always known I wanted to be a mom and can't life without my kiddos. However, everyone has to make that decision for themselves. And no matter how strongly I feel about having kids, I would never consider someone else disrespectful or wrong for choosing not to have them. :)

I'm 5'6" and wish either I was 5'4"ish, or my husband was 6' or taller (he's 5'10"). I rarely wear heels b/c we're too close to the same height when I wear them. Ok, and I'm a total klutz and don't do well in heels, lol.
