I’m taking down our Christmas decorations today. Total bummer. I adore the way our home looks and feels all dressed up in it’s Christmas best. If our tree would last and be fresh all year, I’d be seriously tempted to keep it up. But...

See the headline on the mag? “Lose Inches All Over”. This is one of the few mags I’ve come across that can actually deliver the goods to help you reach your fitness goals. That headline isn’t a bunch of fake-fluff to draw you...

Uh-huh. It all started with The Pumpkin Head Experiment. That’s when I hollowed out my organic orange helmet and affixed it to my cranium. I always look forward to re-attaching my head gear when the season rolls ’round. Now that Fall is ...

Well despite the drought J and I have been working incredibly hard to maintain our garden this year. We have done a pretty decent job thanks to our trusty friend, the soaker hose. Even though we’ve had pretty good success (comparatively) there...

Don’t you go bullshitting for, like, 15 damn years to “make it” at what you said you were gonna. You say you want it? Aspire to have it? Then move your ass and get it to.The post Bitch, pleeeeze…… appeared first on Yum Y...

The internet has been in a state of hysteria all day over last night’s big reveal of the trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s highly-anticipated The Great Gatsby. Scored by Kanye West, Jay-Z and Jack White, and brimming with amazing period costumes...

I’m off of work this morning and loving life. My morning has been spent sipping tea, writing letters and making lists. Yep, that’s right. Lists. I’m totally a list person. I have so many lists everywhere that I have to make a list j...

Well hello Thursday. It’s so good to see you bright and early this morning. Wait… I mean dark and early. Definitely dark and early. The sun doesn’t rise prior to 5 am. Coffee?? I don’t need no stinkin’ coffee. I have pur...

I,  Kirby, with the power invested in me by the state of Indiana…hereby make it illegal for all work/classes to be held on such a beautiful Spring day as this. They are forever cancelled on sunny, 70-80 degree days that are accompanied by a sl...

If you’re new to the scene here at NN, you may not know that when it comes to my garden, I’m a novice gardener with professional expectations. Last year was my first year to have my (our) own garden. I pretty much grabbed the tools from m...

J was having a man’s night with some friends last night so I ate alone. I took it as the perfect opportunity to try these killer tofu lettuce wraps I’ve been wanting to make but dreading the disdainful look from my carnivorous husband at...

There was a time when I believed — despite all my fitness efforts — sure, I’d lose some weight, but my thighs would never be slim and my stomachs would never go down. I’d never be truly strong or look hot. I birthed 4 child-sp...

In the pic: Henry and Wolfie Congratulations. You have just entered Lame Excuse Awareness Week. Now let us examine poor Henry. His relentless couch-azzing to enjoy all the hottest fitness infomercials has turned into fitness-sabotage. And Wolfie̵...
