This is due to the fact that without the glucose that comes from carbohydrates, your brain cannot function the way it is supposed to. Carbohydrates also benefit muscle tissue. Muscle needs glucose from carbohydrates to function as well. If you're not consuming an efficient … [Read more...]

As a student, I was always excited to show off my new clothes and hang out learn with my friends. When summer came to a close, I slid right into the school routine, easy peasy lemon squeezy. The back-to-school season looks a lot different through a mother's eyes. It takes a lot of planning and organization to pull off a seamless transition from summer to school year. My desk, family calendar and agenda book are covered in sticky notes reminding me of doctor appointments, parent-teacher meetings, shopping lists, registration days, adding teachers' contact information to my address book … [Read more...]

Five Reasons I’m Bad at Being a Girly Girl

August 7, 2011 by Leave a Comment
girly girl

I love doing my nails and makeup, melt over adorable babies and my favorite color is pink, but for all intensive purposes, I'm not what many would consider a girly girl.
