OK, so the removal of sugar from the diet didn’t last very long, but I have cut back. On a totally different note…Wayne is doing some work on a house that a couple is flipping. I got off of work early today, so I stopped by. It was a total reality check. In actuality, I [...]

For a lot of reasons, I have been thinking about my eating habits and that of our family’s. I’m sure part of it is because I’m pregnant and more conscious of what I am eating. I also just shake my head sometimes at the food LM consumes–candy, processed food (not all of the time but [...]
