Oh hey there, Ash Wednesday… I didn’t even see you coming!  What do you mean it was on the calendar? Wow, I didn’t even notice. Sorry.

Ever since, well – what I’m labeling as my “coming out” post, I have had some of the most interesting conversations with individuals.  I’ve found that with every minute I talk about my new eating habits, I actually get people to listen.

IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, I BEG FOR AN ANSWER:

I’m excited to get on the road this Friday to my first ever trip to Disney. This actually would be the first time I’ll be in Florida for more than just a layover. This will be our first real family vacation without any hidden agendas. Just out to have some fun. We’ll be [...]
