Pretty soon the kids will be heading back to school, it's a bittersweet time. By the end of summer I am glad to return to more of a routine, relish in a house that stays clean (at least until the kids come home from school) and work in silence, but then.......those dreaded packed lunches are back on my to-do list every day! Boo!!!! With three boys in the house, that's 15 school lunches a week and it can get darn right tiresome and not just for me, but them too. My boys are the pickiest of the … [Read more...]

Back to School with Mabel’s Labels
It's the most - wonderful time - of the year!!! Okay, I kid, I kid, but for a stay at home mom, sending the kids back to school is a bit of relief! Well, let's say it's bittersweet!

Free workouts on the web
I get bored really easily when it comes to working out, even with a program that allows you to put in a new workout everyday, if it's the same people and same set, I still get bored pretty fast. A few months ago I started searching for a few new and interesting workouts on the web. I was looking for variety and short workouts because the program I was doing was an hour or more every day and that was eating up a lot of my morning.
