20 Uses for Leftover Turkey

Shall I admit that 5 days after Christmas we are still eating leftover turkey. Although my kids and husband are happy with loading their plates full of all the fixings still lingering in the fridge, my taste buds are ready for something new.

What I Learned From My 4 Year Old Daughter!

Last night after dinner, my daughter wanted to play a game with me… So here she comes down the stairs with her HI-HO Cherry-O Board Game…

I go to get it set up and she stops me.. “No mommy, I want to play like this”…. And I said “No, we need to play the game right and set it up this way”… After a couple of exchanges of going back and forth… I stopped myself and realized, why do we have to play this one way?

What am I teaching her, if there is only one right way to do… Continue

10 ways to get fit after the holidays the FITMOM way.

So being my area of expertise I could likely give you 200 but let me share with you the TOP TEN geared towards busy moms ( meaning all of us! )

1. Create a plan (not a novel ) in your daytimer, blackberry ,outlook or whatever you use of when and where you will do what to get fit. Make it realistic. Daily regular shorter bouts of exercise are better for habit forming behaviour. For example. 1O minute tune-ups .

2 Get a buddy. Women are much more likely to stick with a… Continue

Insight Into 2010

I think it was in April when I met Janice Roper for the first time. For years, Ilona, my mother-in-law, had spoken of her dear friend who came to town to read tea leaves in the art studio. When the Little Dude was born, Janice was one of the first people Ilona called (so she could get his birth chart).

Having grown up in a haunted house and counted pyschics and mediums among my mom's friends, I'm pretty used to this sort of thing. But when I finally got to meet Janice for a tea leaf… Continue

What Most Matters to You Now?

To jumpstart your new year in these roiling times, consider this: ”When the economy tanks it’s natural to think of yourself first. You have a family to feed and a mortgage to pay. Getting more appears to be the order of business. It turns out that the connected economy doesn’t respect this natural instinct. Instead, we’re rewarded for being generous. Generous with our time and money, but most important generous with our art.” ~ Seth Godin

Here’s… Continue
