Hello to my friends both new and old. It has been a while since we’ve last spoken. I wanted to check in and let you know that Baby Talkers is still here, alive and kicking. We are not going anywhere. In fact, we have a new focus for the upcoming year. I know everyone loves a good change and hopefully that is what will be happening.

Jax and I are sitting in bed watching The Backyardigans and eating Cheerios. He has a small bowl and I have a big bowl. He says to me “Hey, why do you have a big bowl? Why don’t I get the big bowl?” So I responded “Look at the size of me compared to you.” And he says “Because you are bigger, you get the big bowl?” You got it, son! So then he proceeds to say “When...

Have you ever really thought about all the gross and/or somewhat disturbing things that babies get away with while we absolutely cannot? We think they are funny because babies are so cute, but really…… Drooling all over themselves and everything within reach Farting loudly Pooping (and peeing) their pants Tasting everything and only a fraction of it is actually food Throwing food Eating off the...

Yes, I give up. I can’t do it. I can’t sit here and keep track of what I eat all day and document how much I exercise (or don’t because I don’t) because it’s a joke.

The kids are sick, we are travelling, packing for 3 people is like packing for 20 so I’ve been kinda busy. Not a lot of time to exercise or cook and prepare healthy snacks and meals. I actually...

Ever since my friend, Hannah, stepped into the gym with her cool looking  MBT Shoes and raved about their health and body-toning benefits, I have been obsessed. If it weren’t for the steep price tag and the fact that I had just gotten a brand new pair of orange pumas, I would have been sporting those puppies months ago. Then came FitFlops, the flip flop derivative from a different company, with a very...

It’s pointless to share the past few days with you, but since you’re following, I will. Yesterday was my rest day. It was the first day in seven days that I didn’t exercise. I had told myself that if I wasn’t exhausted by 8 pm, I would go to a yoga class, but by 7:45, both of my kids were sleeping and all I wanted to do was get into bed. I made a delicious pasta dish for dinner (using...
