I also found it more difficult than ever to shed those extra pounds that seemed to sneak onto my scale. I never believed in being the thinnest or [...]
Four Ways to Keep Motivated for Those Everyday Tasks
Huge changes started in our family when my husband started doing all the cooking and grocery shopping about three years ago.
