We have six children, and although we are about five years beyond the diaper stage, I well remember dealing with the wretched things. Even more, I remember trying to cure diaper rash. One of our poor little babies had such a sore bottom she literally could not sit...

One of my new year's resolutions for 2011 is to lose 35 pounds. It's not a new goal. But here I am again. The post title “Losing Weight After Pregnancy” is a bit deceptive. My “baby” is seven years old. I'm still trying to lose weight after...

In a perfect world, this post would have been published on January 1. But it's not. And it wasn't. I can say, however, that I've been working on this year's resolutions using my goal setting system since New Year's Day. It's a process that takes some time and...

We've been making stew since we were first married. It's an inexpensive and healthy meal. Now that we're on a modified paleo diet, I've adjusted our typical beef stew recipe to fit our new eating plan. This is what I have cooking in the crockpot right now. Hope you...

Learn from the past. Live in the present. Plan for the future. This is the day to start making brilliant decisions. Every day is a chance to make a past worth remembering and for building a foundation for your future. Don't look back. Move forward. 2011 can be the...

Pix2Brix merged with Mormon Momma. 2010 was a year of growth for Pix2Brix. Your support has meant a great deal and I've enjoyed the interaction with you, both in the comments, through social media, and with direct contact. We hope your support continues in 2011! Below...

Who needs to set goals every year? Just get out last year's list, cross out 2010, and replace it with 2011. Easy. I call them “roll-over goals.” They're kind of like the roll-over minutes on some cell phone plans. We set goals, we don't achieve them, and...
