Mommy, Can You Eat This?

August 17, 2010Mary Jo4 Comments on Mommy, Can You Eat This?

My boys got into the diet thing when I was being faithful. Explaining what a diet is and why I wanted to lose a few pounds was actually kind of fun. It really did make them more aware of what is in food and what foods make us feel good and what foods m…

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Picturific IV

June 12, 2010Mary Jo5 Comments on Picturific IV
