Now Why Didn't I think of that?

1-800-970-4573 - That phone number will get you a Flat Fold Colander. Now why didn't I think of that? It's a colander that folds flat so it doesn't take up so much room in your kitchen. Don't you hate how much room the standard type takes? I do. I haven't decided if I should buy one myself.

Hormones? No thanks.

So, you may be thinking "Do I really want to read this blog about hormones?" Maybe not. But honestly, I wish I didn't have to write it either.

Hormones are so wacky. They can take you up, down, side to side, and everywhere (and I do mean everywhere) in between. Hormones can cause you to gain weight, but do they help you loose it? If so, where do I go to get some of those?

They make you cry, they make you jump up for joy, but why don't they make you dinner? They could be so much more helpful if they could make dinner, do the laundry, or even keep an eye on the kids while you take a nap. Even a desire to cook dinner or do the laundry would be helpful. But no, only the desire to eat chocolate, steer away from all scales so I don't see how much weight I have gained, and to keep my focus away from anything that I actually SHOULD be doing. Not very helpful.

If I could market hormones for cooking dinner, doing laundry, getting up at 6am so I am actually ready before my 4 year old comes into my room to tell me that her little brother is awake and waiting for me to get him, I could be rich. I mean really rich. Who wouldn't want that kind of help?

Prime Time

When I turned 29 last year, I was dreading what was coming next... turning 30. I didn't want to admit that I was closing out my 20s. But, after a few months of this, I realized that there is nothing to be ashamed of. Actually, I am quite excited to turn 30 now. I feel like I am in the prime of my life. Like Jennifer Garner in 13 Going on 30, I feel "30, Flirty, and Thriving." It is actually quite fun to feel this way.

I am completely in love with my husband, adore my children, am doing quite well with my career, and feel great. With that said, things are not perfect, particularly the extra 5 pounds or so I have put on in the last few months due to a particular medication, but things are awesome.

So, to my sisters and friends, never fear... 30 is Awesome!
