There are times when I crave a spiritual experience. I love to search and read the scriptures, but sometimes I just want a physical place to go and feel uplifted. This is one of the reasons that I love to visit temples, even just to drive by, go to a visitor's center,...

Love Sundays. Just eat. No plank. No lunges. No cardio. Down 4.1 pounds.

This was probably our best day following the actual food recommendations. It wasn't perfect, but it was closer than usual. I finally dragged the talapia out of the freezer. I liked it, but my younger kids weren't too fond of the cabbage/mushroom/onion melee. It's...

There are many ways to find your ancestors and a lot of resources available to help in your search. If you want the big picture of your ancestor's life, characteristics, personality, and other demographics, chances are, you'll have to look in more than one resource....

Another weird day trying to eat in in appropriate places. But more aggravating was the water. Planning ahead, I decided to drink the water early. I knew I'd be watching my daughter, Alana, sing in her big final performance after a week at a musical theater workshop....

A couple of weeks ago, entirely out of the blue, we got a phone call from a family who lives exactly .3 miles from our empty lot. (Our current rental is 6.3 miles away and our old house was 17.9.) They are moving to New York for one year and wanted to know if we would...

We've been as close to perfect as we could be on the workouts. Yes, we're going on the easy side of all the number, but we haven't missed a single portion and we always do the optional day, too. But I'm not so diligent about the food. I'm not following it “to...

“Live the Life is not a diet!” We heard that a few times at Girls Night Out. But if you ask me, it's just semantics. What is a diet, after all? It's just the foods people eat. If it's about what you eat, it's about a diet. So, what are they talking about?...

Sometimes being a mom is an exercise in insanity. Got up, drank my smoothie, did my strength training. So far, so good. Samson had scouts and Monica has a service project—in another city. Piled them, along with Caleb (and his accouterments), an apple, a protein bar,...
