It seems like sometimes we fit bloggers get a bit obsessive about our bodies. (That would be the understatement of the year except that “Kanye West seems a bit off” wins every time.) We tweak what we put into our bodies and catalog what comes out. We monitor the various ways, times and parts of …

There are many healthy activities that I wish I could do but for various reasons can’t get away with. Take running at night – it feels like flying but there are myriad safety issues. And now that I’m a responsible mom-person, I can’t risk a twisted ankle or, worse, a mom-napping. I’d also love to …
www.marriedtothesea.com Gym Buddy Allison and I share many similarities: young children, a deep love of garage sales and thrift stores, and the same dark hair/light skin that always makes people ask us if we are sisters. Or just confuse one of us for the other. (Hint: she’s the taller one with whiter teeth and shiny …

So many questions: If sitting in the front seat and getting fresh air is supposed to prevent motion sickness, wouldn’t a motorcycle be the ultimate puke preventer?

Yes, I’ve used this picture twice on this site before but that is just how deeply I love this dude. I have titled it “Awesome Sauce.” I think he may be the patron saint of the GFE! Bikram kickboxing – you many not have heard of doing kickboxing in a super heated room before but …

Baffling equipment. Mean girls. Chronic cell-phone chatters. Unidentified puddles of bodily fluids. Germs.

Frankly, there are probably more reasons to skip the gym than to go. (Thankfully the …
If you are a woman, you must watch this video. I dare you not to laugh inappropriately loud. Benjamin Franklin forgot something when he said “nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes.” He forgot menstrual cycles.

“Mom, why can’t we have a dog?” My son begged. I gave my standard answer. “Because between you, your two brothers and sister, I already have enough butts to clean up after.” “But mom,” he beamed as if he’d solved cold fusion, “dogs totally lick their own butts!” It will speak to his faultless reasoning …
Now THAT’S a good bridesmaid! The middle school locker room has left many a lasting imprint on my mind, most shudder-inducing, but there is one I still giggle about. A girl, NotHerRealName, refused to wear deodorant, claiming that her sweat didn’t stink. Oh sure the rest of us smelled like damp dog after an hour …
