I think. Always. I think about my girls, husband, websites, direction, goals, dreams, and family. Then there is school, extra-curricular activities, grocery shopping, cleaning and working with our youngest on her language skills. It doesn’t look like it from where you are reading, but behind the scenes, this website and another that I own and [...]
This new invention we all call ‘the internet’ has literally changed the way we live, work, and play. Since it’s inception, hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs have taken their businesses online, or created new ones.

Have you ever had so many great things to say about something that you just didn’t know where to start? I feel this way about the new Xbox Kinect Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012. It is hard to call this a game. It is more of a tool in managing your health and wellness. It [...]
Since my first Xbox Kinect Sensor post, we have all been enjoying our Xbox in different ways. My main reason has been to lose weight, and I am so happy to have this tool at my fingertips. As a family we get out and go for walks when it is nice, and I take our [...]
This was the year that I vowed I would purposely do something about my health. I’ve gained a lot of weight from my two pregnancies and I’ve become somewhat sedentary, and I have a lot of life left to live both with my girls and for myself. My biggest hurdle to overcome is time and [...]
