What Eating for Two Really Means

Food is huge! Pregnant women are especially at risk for incorrect or misinformed advice about how much they should be eating. Many expectant mothers are given the impression that they should eat twice as much or whatever they feel like eating. While I was pregnant with our son people would make comments like, “I’m so jealous, you can eat whatever you want” or “You’re eating for two so go ahead take twice as much (insert food here)” This notion is not only misleading to the changes a pregnant woman should make to her diet (if she’s not already eating healthy), … Continue reading →

I finally wore through my favorite pair of gym shoes. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed. I loved those shoes! They were super comfortable, and I really liked the style.

It just so happens that Payless Shoes is having a sale this week. Seems like I wore out my old shoes at the perfect time. There is just something special about a new pair of shoes Even children get … Continue reading →

Get Two Free Tacos From Jack In The Box!

In my family, Tuesday night means “Taco Tuesday” for dinner. I think we started this because one of the local places offered tacos for one dollar on Tuesday nights. It’s hard to beat tacos that taste great and only cost one dollar, but Jack In the Box has done it! They are having a Free Taco Day! While I wouldn’t recommend eating at a fast food place every single day, I don’t see anything wrong with going there once in a while. I am someone who is trying to lose weight right now, but, I don’t feel like that means … Continue reading →

Two Imperfect People

As spiritual people, we know that we are not perfect. We are merely human and make many mistakes along the way in our lives. Why then, do we tend to assume that our marriages have to be perfect? When you are young and in love you tend to believe that a happy marriage means that the couple spends hours staring into each other’s eyes, doing fun things together and always agreeing. This is probably because during courtship or dating, a couple tends to spend hours staring into each other’s eyes, doing fun things together and always agreeing. Call it the … Continue reading →

Modifying Behavior: What it Means to “Know Thy Pet”

In Modifying Behavior-Lesson 1: Know Thy Pet I proposed you have to first be able to “read” your pet before you can modify their behavior. I suggested trying to understand why your pet’s acting a certain way so that you may better assess how you can change the unwanted behavior. I’m not sure I did a very good job explaining myself. But today in my quest to learn about deaf dogs for my friend Lyn, I ran across the most brilliant quote. In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn’t merely train him to be semi-human. The point of … Continue reading →

Is Pasta Really Healthy?

This Sunday more than 35,000 runners will take to the streets of the Big Apple for the 2007 New York City Marathon. Prior to making their way along the 26.2-mile route runners have the opportunity to participate in the traditional night-before pasta dinner. Carb loading before a big race is part of the training process. At least it was for me. I pigged out on pasta before I ran the Chicago Marathon. I gorged on ziti at the Olive Garden before I ran the Madison Marathon and I had two plates of spaghetti plus four pieces of garlic bread the … Continue reading →

Morton’s Steakhouse Dinner for Two for $99

I know a lot of you are shaking your heads. “How is $99 for dinner a deal?” If you’ve ever been to Morton’s, you won’t be the one asking. You can easily spend $175 on dinner for two here, and it will likely be worth every penny. I’m usually a Buy One, Get One free type of person, and my palate runs more toward hamburger than steak. But once in awhile, it’s nice to really splurge. To get dressed up as if you were back on a first date, have him clean and wash the car, bring flowers, and head … Continue reading →

Creating an Office in Your Closet

Posted on by

Yes, you read that right. Currently, my office is housed in my closet. Let me explain. As I just said, I needed to set up a home office when I came home to work, and I needed to do it for cheap. I managed to do it cheaply ($126, not including those pens I love) but no matter how much furniture you have, you’ve got to have a place to put it all. Luckily for my husband and I, we live in a three-bedroom house with no children, which means we have our bedroom, my bedroom, and my hubby’s bedroom. … Continue reading →
