This Mom has had a busy year. 

My kids (ages 7-14) have been involved in four sports (indoor soccer, basketball, outdoor soccer, track & field) in three different leagues, plus a community theatre stint in addition to frequent dirt biking, tromping through water-logged ditches and generally getting as filthy as possible every single day.

Here I thought the baby stage would produce...

My cat is my hero. 

Even as I watch her plump self burrowing into my basket of clean laundry for a nap and it's driving me crazy, I remember that time she killed 3 snakes and eradicated the local rodent population in the space of one week. 

But the real reason she's a hero to me is how she comforted our young daughter after a major relocation which had triggered weeks of...

Sometimes it feels like all everyone talks about is food. Which trendy diet are you following? Which superfood are you stockpiling, or which ingredient are you avoiding?

I love food. Like, adore it. Give me some delish flourless chocolate cake, crispy coconut chicken strips, or Canadian Monterey Jack & Black Bean Empanadas, and I'm a happy girl. Food is not the enemy! You with...

This fitness adventure has taken us to some pretty innovative and interesting (to say the least) ways to get fit and feel confident with our bodies. So I hope you Chicks have been following along. If not, here is our twerking story to give you a feel for what we've been doing. 

Our latest fitness adventure brought us back to Brass Vixens, but this time we worked on our burlesque...

This is a story about one Chick getting jiggled, suctioned, and pummeled into sleekly-toned submission. And I liked it.

Have you ever seen those infomercials showing a person shaking viciously on a vibrating machine (while smiling obnoxiously), convinced they can lose up to 4 pant sizes in 10 minutes? For most of us, this probably comes off as being rather hokey. I suppose you can understand...

Since Miley's VMA performance, it seems to me like I can't have a single conversation where the subject of twerking doesn't come up. Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration, but seriously folks: everyone and their grandmother knows what twerking is nowadays. 


Of course, there have been mixed feelings toward the dance, and I bet you've raised an eyebrow or two at the booty popping (see above). Except...

If you read my fitness profile, you know that I have strayed from my formerly beloved high-intensity aerobic workouts and moved on over to the callused-hands-burpee-filled CrossFit world (insert villainous laugh here). Joking aside, I must admit that I really miss a good ‘ol cardio blast. That’s why I was absolutely thrilled when I was so graciously invited to attend the grand opening of Hard...

With all this testing out of new gyms and studios, not only are our bods getting a workout, but our iPods are too. The only thing that makes the treadmill bearable for me is a good playlist that pumps me up, keeps me going when I want (so very desperately) to stop and helps me wind down with a stretch. 

If you're like me, a decent playlist is a must for a trip to the gym, and we're here to...

A 38 year old woman from California is undergoing hypnotherapy to make her less intelligent in hopes to turn into the next human Barbie. Wait, what? Is that even possible to decrease your IQ? Well, yes and apparently it's working! If the multiple plastic surgeries weren't enough for Blondie Bennet, she's hoping to dumb herself down enough so that she will not only look like Barbie, but think like...
