Sigh.
You know, it’s quite an experience coming home from Martial Arts and having your child absolutely deny he broke something of his siblings, when 20 seconds prior, he readily admitted to it.
Sigh.
Very frustrating, indeed. I really dislike coming down on my kids, but realize…it just has to be done. Sigh. So […]

Kids. Gotta love ‘em, else you’ll implode with grace and joy.
As you probably know if you read my blog, I’m a mom of 4 who lost 45+ pounds and currently is into staying healthy and fit. I do P90x, cardio, workouts, karate, etc.
Speaking of karate, I participate in that with all my […]

Morning,
Sigh, kids are so….kid-like.
One of my kids came to me today and say, Mom, I need a new backpack, mine smells!
So he brought it over, and I checked it out….and then pulled out a fossilized sandwich that looked like it had been residing there since 1723.

“Ahem, child of mine, might you explain the meaning […]

Morning all,
One of the most important things you can give your children (and spouses, and friends, and people who are important to you) is the gift of the healing touch.
What is that, I hear you ask? Well, ask a dozen different folks, and you’ll get a dozen different answers. I myself have […]

Howdy all,
Before I give myself permission to collapse in a heap from this evening’s workout, I have to post about:
I can actually do vaguely decent karate kicks now.
Not only that, but I actually like them. Hand techniques were my favorites before…but now that I can actually (gasp!) move! and kick! and almost […]

Howdy all,
My gosh, it’s things like this that make being a mom all worth while.
Back when I was in college, I was the founder and president of the Rutgers University Math Club (loved the subject, couldn’t do it to save myself, but loved it nontheless…which is one reason why all of my kids are […]

Afternoon everyone,
Oh I’m smooshed!
After several hours of patience marketing online, I challenged my kids to Dance Dance Revolution. Now, we used to do this all the time during the summer at Camp Ling, so it’s been quite awhile since I last put my feet on those mats.
My gosh, talk about, ahem, uncoordinated! […]

Morning,
Well! Today I had to give up my early morning P90x routine (’twill be Yoga Death when it does happen) so I could prepare for a child’s birthday.
It always amazes me how much money parents will spend on young children’s birthday parties, especially when with regards to gifts, the kids play with them […]

This makes me want to see 300.

Enjoy,
Barbara

Morning,
I was reminded of the following poem from a conversation with a good friend yesterday. I first read this back in college, and have loved it ever since.
Life is a four letter word……..
I think you spell it L-O-V-E
It’s really as simple as that……
No, I don’t really think that I can totally describe […]
