    release date?

    I love the deep discounts associated with the current business model. I don't mind waiting at all--as long as it takes, in fact. I've never been disappointed by Cathe and company. I was afraid it was going to be released this last summer when I was too pregnant to start it, but now I'll be...

    Babystep.5

    I love working out, but diet is the hard part for me too. Bummer is that the older I get, the more diet plays a role. Anyway--great job on the running! How did you work up to that? Maggie:)

    How much do you spend??

    We spend between $650 and $800/month on food. We are a family of 9, although the new baby only drinks breastmilk, which, is free--oh joy! We eat a ton of soup and home made bread. Meat is generally a garnish, rather than the center of a meal. I buy beans/rice/ and other items in our grocery...

    Beautiful Ladies Check In Sat

    Ds 7 (with downs) just gave me a big bunch of dandilions and a smile and a hug. I always have to make a big show about putting them in a vase and setting them in the middle of the table, but I'll post first. Jenm--((((hugs))))--I'm so sorry about your ring. I lost the stone in my original...

    Friday Check In

    HI ladies! By the time I get a chance to post, it's so late usually, that I just end up lurking, besides, it's hard to nurse and post at the same time. Right now, she's not latched on, just sort of propped up in my lap. I am incredibly busy during the day with school, cooking, housework...

    Paying kids for good grades?

    I think it should be up to the parents to decide if and how they want to reward their children. As someone else posted, some children get good grades easily and some, even with diligence and hard work, may be unable to. A parent would know his/her child best in this regard (well, ideally...

    How old at children's birth?

    My husband I have 7 children (yes, we also know how it happens:p). I was 26 and he was 24 when we had our first and I just bore our seventh at age 40. Pregnancy was much easier on my body when I was younger, even though I work out regularly, but that's just me. As far as "risk" as one ages...

    #1 song the day you were born

    "This Guy's In Love With You" Herb Alpert--never heard of it or him--Dang. I was hoping for something cool, since I was born in the Summer of '68 :cool:. Fun thread. Maggie:)

    Hurray! It's Wednesday!

    Hi Ladies--one handed typing here, so I won't be able to type much. We have started school--going very smoothly, but my computer time is very limited. I'm mostly just lurking. Baby Gwen is doing well, but has a goopy eye:(. I gained 70 lbs, but as of yesterday, I'd lost 37.5 of them, so 32.5...

    still looking 4 suggestions

    About every 2-2 1/2 years or so for the last 14 years, I have about 40 lbs to lose, because I keep having babies:eek::eek::eek:. And I'm getting ready to do it again, having just given birth. It usually takes me about a year. I find as I age, exercise alone is no longer adequate for weight loss...

    Baby Gwen has arrived :)

    Thanks, ladies--she's keeping me busy:), but I've got lots of helpers. Emy--of course I'd never forget you. In fact, I was wondering about you the other day. There are seasons of life where working out is difficult to manage--I'm sure you'll get back to it.:) Maggie

    Monday Check-In !!!!!

    HI ladies-- I finally have a moment-- Gwen has a slight cold from dd2, dsalmost5, and ds 7, who don't always know how to direct their sneezes, but she is still able to nurse pretty well as long as she doesn't get too agitated. Her belly button thing hasn't fallen off yet and it's stinky...

    Old sneakers and baby diapers

    I wonder why all that food you mentioned has such a strong smell. On the rare occasion that I get the kids fast food for lunch, the house stinks for hours--same when we get take out (again a pretty rare thing). I never really thought about it until you posted. Those smells really do linger and...

    ****Friday ttc/preg/new moms/friends****

    Hi everyone--dh took the big ones to their evening martial arts classes and my mil offered to watch dd2, ddalmost5, and dd7 (she insisted, so.....:D). Now I have to get used to typing with a little one on my lap again. She is nursing and sleeping well, but is a little more wakeful in the...
