Carrie - question for you! Hi Carrie - I wanted to thank you for the reassuring words. Since you seem to have some "experience" in this area I wanted to ask your advice on how to deal with my son's not wanting to eat. While I know he's not going to starve himself, it is very hard to hear...

Thanks, everyone! I really am at my wit's end, especially since the first week of school he really seemed fine. He has made many friends and his teacher assures me that he's doing very well with his work. I know the transition is difficult, especially when you know that your "old school" is...

Hi all! My son just started third grade in a new school and is having some anxiety, which I know is normal. My question is how to deal with it. He will complain that he doesn't feel good or that his stomach hurts, in school and out. In fact, his teacher just called me to say that he...

Well said, Catwoman! My father is a spinach grower in NJ, and my advice to everyone is to wash your vegetables yourself, regardless of whether they've already been washed or not. There are so many things that come into contact with every piece of produce - bird droppings, mammal droppings...

Kids love gift cards! I'd get a Toys R Us one and let her have fun picking what she wants!

I'm laughing because my SIL is also a hair stylist, and I have NEVER let her touch my head for the reasons you've just talked about! I would just go where you want to and let the situation die on its own!

Hi Melissa! I'm just starting a running program, too, and am following the beginner's program from Runningworld.com. It alternates between walking and running for 20 minutes (you do your own warmup and cool down) with the running portion getting longer every week. I'm currently on my third...

That's a good way of looking at it - associates. Thanks for the reply!

For years I worked out in my basement, weights only and always did my cardio in the family room. We recently added on to our house and I now have enough room to workout in my bedroom, which I'm loving!

That's a mouthful! My son is starting a new school this year. We're taking him out of our public school and putting him into parochial school, so we haven't moved or any of that. In the past few years, I have become very friendly with his friends' moms - three women to be exact - and have...

Thanks, Dina! I had given up on getting a response to my post! I am now 4 months postpartum and am trying the running "thing" again - taking it real slow - and so far everything seems okay. My knees are still a bit sore, but not nearly as bad as they were the last time!

Are your sure that your SIL and my SIL aren't one and the same? Mine is the exact same way. In fact, after being married to my brother for over 18 years, so has "removed" herself from my family, and no longer speaks to my father, my sister, myself and our families. She has five brothers and...

Hi all! I'm three months post partum and having a really tough time with getting back into workout mode. I started a running program, as well as incorporating a little CTX cardio, and my knees are making me pay big time. I did a search for relaxin on here and read that it can stick around...

Enjoy! This is excellent! Blueberry Pound Cake 2 cups granulated sugar 1/2 cup light butter 1/2 (8-ounce) block 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened 3 large eggs 1 large egg white 3 cups all-purpose flour, divided 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries 1 teaspoon...

I don't know if Cooking Light magazine has a website, but I have a recipe from there for a blueberry pound cake that is to die for! Let me know if you can't find it and I'll give it to you!

If I remember right from the original trial, wasn't she living in a trailer with the six kids and her husband was "away" on business? I thought then, and still do now, that her husband was more to blame than she was. Postpartum depression is a very real thing and it's a shame that it takes...

That's great! Congratulations! My lower half is my problem area, too, so I know completely how hard it is to get it together!

This drives me crazy, too, and having just had my third, I'm always amazed at peoples need to touch a pregnant woman's belly! The thing that drives me absolutely insane even more so is strangers now trying to touch my newborn baby. HELLO!!! Hands off! My husband just had an incident in...

Cathe - Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I've been on this forum for YEARS and I still get SO EXCITED when I see you've answered my post! Thanks, Chi-town, too, for listing the rotations for me. I'm going to check them out now! Michele

Hi Cathe! I'm looking for a little of your expertise here. I had baby #3 (Isabella Cecelia) on May 5th and I'm just starting to get back in the work out mode. I've started out slowly and have just started doing the CTX workouts, hoping to kick it up a notch. I'm also waiting for a pair...
