    silly appliance question revisited

    We had a Trio and really liked...the water thingy was *inside*, which was a little strange to get used to, but it had lots of space (it was HUGE!!) and was very easy to maintain (cleaning, changing water filter, etc.) We had to move, and left the appliances behind, and I think we've said about...

    Seeking Tips from Morning Exercisers

    Well, I'm right with ya needing the motivation! We just moved two months ago and are on a totally new schedule. I realized rather quickly that if I don't get up and get it done in the a.m., there's a VERY good chance it won't happen. Another factor is that it's just too darn hot later in the...

    Pregnancy and losing weight . . .

    "but I hear a lot of the "nightmare" stories" I have three kids 4 yo and under, so I've heard the stories, too. Don't let them scare you! :) I think you're right in the fact that most people, especially moms of young ones/kids, don't work out regularly, so it's not really that surprising...

    Stupid appliance question

    I don't know much, but I REALLY think that last service tidbit is ridiculous! Unplug it every time this happens?! That's insane - you shouldn't have to babysit an appliance. A fridge should last well beyond 3 years. I don't know what you're warranty says, but it sounds like a bigger problem...

    DH has an interview in Pittsburgh - need advice!

    I just moved from there about 2 months ago (DH got transferred) We lived north of the city (Cranberry area, mentioned above) We were about 30 miles north of downtown Pgh. From there, it's a straight shot, all highway, to get to downtown, so it was a great commute! All the other directions...

    ? for anyone who lives in a multi-level home

    We have three floors and have three small ones. We tried insatlled gates on the steps (top and bottom), but they turned into a hazard of their own - at 18 mo, our kids tried to climb them, and at the top of the steps, this scared me more than the steps, themselves. So, instead, we used tension...

    Post partum mamas - how far are you from being back?

    RE: Post partum mamas - how far are you from being back... It is so nice to see all the familiar 'faces' :) :) I'm up for a check-in, too! I found my step plus two risers (still looking for the rest :) ) and my videos. I have temporarily set up in one of the livingrooms (can you believe...

    RE: Post partum mamas - how far are you from being back... Hi Julie! I'm about 7 months pp - nice to hear from you! I've been MIA - haven't been able to work out much at all. We had a difficult move and are still not settled. Right now, after work and on weekends, I'm trying to clean the...

    Splenda Sugar Substitute

    I had been told (by an herbalist friend and my dr.) to avoid Stevia when I was having some difficulties getting pregnant. Does anyone have any info about that? Stevia seemed like a godsend, but then it kind of freaked me out that it might cause other problems... Were they just being cautious...

    post partum check in-june 26

    Hi all! Well, we're moved into our new home - it was an ugly transaction - we were actually living in a hotel for a week while the lawyers tried to sort things out. Glad it's over, and we can get started getting settled in. The house is beautiful, or WOULD be if it had been taken care of...

    postpartum check in -week of June 4

    Shopaholic - you sound great - those sleepless nights certainly don’t seem to be affecting your energy! Hope you get some rest, though, and that the nights do get a little easier. I had a ‘frequent feeder’, too and thought I was just spending ALL day and night feeding the little bugger...

    Any experience with vertigo?

    Just wanted to chime in, since Vickie (post a few above) mentioned it. A close relative of mine is just recovering from about 8 weeks of vertigo and was told about the 'crystals' in the inner ear, too. I have never heard of it before, and really thought she was nuts when she told us that...

    Good clean Halibut or Tilapia recipes???

    I'm not much of a cook, but the local grocery store has these fish available on sale all the time, so we have them a lot. Now I see someone has "stolen" my secret recipe!! :) :) :) I usually bake the fish in a casserole dish covered with salsa or bruschetta topping (tomatoes, garlic, roasted...

    Post partum check-in May 13th

    Hi all - Melanie - oh my goodness - I'm so glad to hear your DH is home! It must have been really tough to 'single-parent' through all that! I'm shocked at your MIL's response - is that the way she usually is? Wasn't she worried about your DH, too? Geez, she could at least have offered to...
