I’ve read a few comments recently about how people don’t really know how to classify their blogs. “Lifestyle” is a common but unpopular term. I’ve coined an alternative term: “shit from my head”. What do you classify your blog as? […]

This Blog
It’s funny, I started writing this blog with the tag line “A journey towards positive choices and weight loss” and I’m not sure I’ve really blogged about either!! These two things are very close to me though. […]
Blog Planning: Christmas Holidays
I feel like the C-word is off limits this year – that people want to say it, but it has somehow become taboo. For clarity’s sake, however, I will state that I’m referring to Christmas, not any other c-words! And with Christmas comes holidays – […]
I Challenge You to Comment
