Confession time…for the last few days weeks months, I’ve been enjoying a little something sweet each day – usually something chocolate. Dark chocolate being my favorite. You know, when you’re pregnant, you’ve got cravings. Then after baby is born, you need a little pick me up for those late night feedings.
Well, I’m realizing that I [...]

I was in the grocery store with my 5 and 2 year old. Right as you walked in the door, there was a table full of cookies for 10 cents each from the bakery. They were sold in packages of 18. This was a no brainer for this pregnant momma! 18 cookies for $1.80 baked [...]

I told you last week I’ve gained 15 pounds in 17 weeks in my pregnancy, so the last thing I need is a grande Caramel Frappucino from Starbucks. But believe me, there have been times when I’ve craved one! But my husband and I are trying to be disciplined in our spending with home sales [...]

Too bad I’m not one of those women who feel sick and can’t eat during the first trimester. I’m the woman who eats every 2 hours. The things that sounds good? In-n-Out cheeseburgers with grilled onions, cookies, Sun chips, cookies, and did I say cookies?
Since I’m pregnant, I have an “excuse” to eat for a [...]

I had to smile when I saw McDonald’s on the Top 10 list in Health Magazines “America’s Healthiest Fast Food” article. I think they were surprised too, since they wrote “One big surprise: A traditional fast-food chain McDonald’s cracked our top 10. Sure it’s the home of the Big Mac, but did you know it [...]

I find that when I’m with my kids, it’s easier to make healthy food choices. I don’t want them eating french fries and ice cream all day!
But yesterday, on a somewhat rare occasion, I was in the car by myself in the evening. Remember I’m 10 weeks pregnant and I dreamt of all the eating [...]

Okay, you might have rat poison in your pantry, but how about some Ho-Hos, oreos, or nacho cheese doritos??? When you’re trying to lose weight, you’re at war with sugary foods in your pantry.
Here’s an honest look at what’s inside mine right now…

Last post, I talked about the toddler who received a cupcake in class and totally crashed with her mom afterwards. Sugar and meltdowns go hand in hand for kids! Adults may not meltdown quite as badly as toddlers, but sugar is bad for us too. How come?
When we eat too much sugar, too much glucose [...]

I teach a class for 3 year olds at my church. Like many childcare places, we usually serve cheerios, cheez-its, or crackers for snack time. But we just had a birthday party and served litte cupcakes.
The organizer was already pretty conservative…the cupcakes weren’t full size. They were those mini-muffin size and they weren’t frosted. They [...]
