It's Time For You To Share!

The family and I are going to be hanging around the house this weekend. There is so-o-o much clean-up and organizing to do.
I've really got to get under the girls beds and go searching. I mean, where has all their underwear gone? (My girls just don't seem to like to put on underwear. What is it with that? I mean they're pretty and all. Flowers and everything. My youngest even has princesses on hers for crying out loud!).
I've noticed that if my daughters don't like a particular item of clothing they will stuff in on the side of, or under, their beds. Do they really think I won't find these things?!? I mean come on, I'm a mom! It's my job to find all of the hidden things. I'm in training for the teen years, oh yes I am!
Anyway...
Since I'm going to be working around the house I need some music to keep me going. One thing I like to do is play other bloggers playlists. I love listening to music and I love finding out what others are listening to. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
How about we have a 'Blogger's Music Sharing Weekend'.
Send me a link to your blog and know that I'll be listening to your playlist while I do my best to get-it-together this weekend. Or, if you don't have a playlist, let me know some songs you love and I'll put those on the turntable. (Or, whatever.)
Time to get started!!!

Miss Poodle Perm, That's Me!

Jill of Scary Mommy is doing a linky post about school pictures. You know the ones, possibly you didn't smile a sweet smile, just the smirk of panic. Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!) Well, my scanner isn't working or else I would post a particular picture from Freshman year. Since I don't have a visual, here's the story: I remember my first day of High School. Actually what I remember is the picture taken of me leaving for my first day of High School. I'm wearing a brave smile, but the hair, the hair , my hair style was a nightmare. My two best friends and I were going to be attending a High School out of our district. That was stressful enough. To add to this new-ness we wanted new looks as well. K. was going to sport the Argyle and Alligator shirt look. W. was going for 'All Monogram

My Questions Answered By Chef Pati Jinich - Video

Rob and I have been focusing on finding foods and spices that will help us take some weight off. I've been slightly obsessed with staying on my exercise track (on week 8 now :->) and hope to get rid of this jiggly belly that has become wa-a-a-ay too comfortable on my body. The older you get the harder it is to lose weight. What I would say to my 40 year old self - 'See that pouch starting? Do your crunches and planks now! 7 years from now it's going to get ugly !' I've found that spices cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and turmeric are noted to increase metabolism. ( Yes please !) After a good workout coconut water is more beneficial in regulating your electrolytes, and lower in calories, than sports drinks. It also contains more potassium than other drinks which is an important component in helping to build muscle which, in turn, helps you burn more calories. And my most surprising discovery - eating avocados help burn belly fat! I&#
