Are you one that makes New Years Resolutions?  I have never been one to do so, because lets be honest here, if I want to do something I will do it then, not wait until the New Year to start. I know that might not be the best attitude, but it is the truth.  Yes, I say I want to lose weight. I want to eat healthy.  I want to be a better me...  but it didn't start because of January 1st. It happened because I want to be around for me...  to see my children have children.  To see what they become.  Maybe that is selfish, but it is true.  Actually maybe I did make "resolutions" but I like to word it different.  I started a "new chapter in my life."  Nothing really changed, but I...

We have a walking trail near us that I keep saying I am going to work on walking on it and trying to get in shape.  I have good intentions, but then every time you turn around,  I can find an excuse.  That is really a bad thing, but my excuses are valid... Not just like, I don't want to do it.. but rather such and such needs to be done during that time.. I have never made New Years Resolutions before, but Marc and I have talked about it... and we have HIGH HOPES for this new year... One of the main things is walking.  I have to start somewhere, so we plan for us to start using that walking track this year!  I am excited about it because I have a new product that is going to make me happy. I was sent a " handana " for review and I tell you what, not exercising yet... but it is comfy! What exactly is a handana?  It is a sweatband that is so much more... It is a must have for anyone that sweats.. If you are running, biking, participating in Zumba or an...

Well, this feels kind of crazy! For AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, I have worked on New Years Eve. Actually, I have worked for pretty much all holidays/celebrations... I am 30 years old and I have had a job since I was 15! But, that is not the point! Last year, the job I had for the previous 10 years decided to shut its doors, with NYE being the LAST night of Diggers... (Diggers is the name of the place I worked at!) I was 7 months pregnant and when I got off of work (this time around 11:30 ish ) I headed home to ring in the New Year with the hubby and his sons... It was a nice change to be able to spend time with my husband... but it SUCKED that it was the LAST night I would ever walk into Diggers. You know, that was my family! I moved up there at the age of 19, got a job immediately and that "job" became a second family/home. They were there through it all... Birthdays/Death/Marriage/Pregnancy Anyways, I could ramble on forever about that... All I wanted to say was that with ...
