My kids are obsessed with this commercial! They think it’s hilarious. (Click through to see video) “Luna! Luuuunnna! Here, pretty kitty!” I crooned, shaking a bag of cat treats as I circled the tiny hotel room for the 50th time. “Are you sure she was, ah, here?” The hotel manager asked as his assistant lifted …
Some things are easier written than said. “I’m sorry.” “I love you.” “I know what you did last summer.” You know, all that little deep-seated emotional stuff with far-reaching ramifications. Oh, and “goodbye.” I have a problem. See, when I left Minnesota, I never said goodbye. First, there was simply no time. With three weeks …
If we’re sincere in our desire to “just be healthy” that may mean embracing more fat – both in our diets and on our bodies. Psst, Adele – LOVE you. Lose the cigs!! Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus! Or at least there was until he died from having a belly like a bowl …
Just when you thought it was safe to retrieve the forks and knives you hid during the “Are white potatoes a nutritious natural food or glycemic index hell tuber?” debate, scientists have given us another research study that brings up more questions than it answers.

I enlisted my eldest to help make the soup! He learned how to chop an onion. I learned how to stifle my giggles while tried to cry from said onion. Season’s first snow! Yesterday, blanketed in white, ended up being kind of a strange day. At first the kidlets were super excited to see all …
Power yoga may be my new favorite workout, if only because this happened this morning: There we were, an hour into a leg-quaking, arm-shaking class when the teacher told us to we were going to take a quick break to try something new. Having been to plenty of yoga classes in my day I immediately …
