Yeeeeee HAAAAA!!!
THREE POUNDS this week!! Woooo hooooo!!! (That’s 3 pounds down!! I should clarify that just in case you think I would be doing the happy dance for a gain…. which ummm well………NO! I wouldn’t) Total loss of 7 pounds. Who knew such small changes would make such a difference. I’ve cut out a large portion of carbs. Added a lot more vegetables (yes that gagging noise WAS from me!) more fruits. I changed to the Hershey’s sugar free dark chocolate bit size pieces (which is REALLY GOOD! Even better if you accidently drop it in the peanut butter jar first. Not that I would know that myself…. I’m just guessing……

Indeed, you’ll probably feel as though you’re lurching from one developmental minefield to another, all the time wondering whether your child is reaching their milestones with plenty of room to spare.

The Hit Of Day Camp Thanks To Cricut!!
One of the best parts of living in Southern California are the unique opportunities that are available to kids. Aqua Hedionda Lagoon is one of them. 6-year-old Alice spent last week at Lagoon Camp with her favorite Miss Julie.

Did anyone get the number of that truck??
I’m pretty sure a big ole truck ran me over last night, came back and ran me over again. I woke up with a stomach ache (adults can have just plain ole’ tummy aches right?) I did manage to do my morning walk and 50 ab crunches on the Bean. (Yes, I admit it I am an infomercial junkie) I left work early cause my stomach was just getting worse. (Do you think it’s the healthy eating? My body is rebelling?)

What wagon??
DH and I went out to breakfast this morning. Yes, I did fall off the wagon. I had bacon! I had hash browns! I had toast!! I only had one piece of toast instead of 2. (baby steps!) It was SO GOOD!!

YES I KNOW I’m yelling! If you…

What Can You Expect During Root Canal Treatment?
If you have a tooth which is dead, your dentist may suggest that you have root canal treatment carried out. You can often tell if a tooth is in need of this treatment, by the way it looks and feels. You may be experiencing sensitivity, or pain when you touch the tooth. The tooth may also look different in color, when compared to other teeth in your mouth. Root canal treatment can be a better option than having a tooth removed, or having a dental implant fitted. During the treatment, the dentist removes any infected pulp from the inside of the root canal of the tooth. This may sound a…
