On the Move, Mother’s Day, and A Must-Read Debate
This week is the last week of school for my kids. It seems around this time each year my husband and I look at each other and say, “This year went by fast, didn’t it?” No single year goes by faster than any other, but for some reason it feels like we missed it. Or we enjoyed it so much that time wasn’t an issue.
The last day of school is bitter sweet for my kids. My husband took a job in Houston, Texas and we are relocating in June. We thoroughly enjoy living in Arizona and have... Read More

What Rapid Technology Progress Means for Health Care
Guest Post by Amanda Whitman
With new technology and the constant online messaging, e-mails, and texts, most of us have experienced some form of communication error through our high-tech devices.

A misspelled word could change into an entirely incorrect word. For us, it isn’t typically a huge deal. We are aware of the topic... Read More
Glute-Licious: Maybe you’re just not ready for this jelly
I’ve had a video circulating around the web for a little over a year. It was from my first in-person training session with Bret back in August 2010. I made a couple mistakes during the lift (like coming up on my toes), but 225 pounds at 127 pounds bodyweight was pretty decent for a lady who had only been working with him online for four months.
Over the past 18 months, that video has ended up on blogs, websites, and in articles in pretty much every aperture of the Internet. The other day when... Read More

Guest Post
We all know how difficult it is to get back in shape after a baby. Most of the time getting started proves to be the biggest challenge as we work around these new little people that take over our lives and promote a busy household. It’s important to remember that no matter what exercise you choose to do each day, it counts for more than an extra 15 minutes on the couch. Take that stroll, or do a few lunges while making a bottle. You will feel happier and... Read More
Book Updates, The Pursuit of Happiness, and Chocolate Peanut Butter
