I'm creeping the Hot Mamas! I hope you are all well and happy and getting sleep *ahem, Anners* :D Sleep? No sleep happening here. She was up for the day at 6am. It's now 10:20pm and she is still going strong. Me, I can barely keep my eyes open. Boo! I don't sleep anymore either. I have a terrible s...

Hurray pts!! I'm so excited for you (and a little scared for you too :). I think that my boys are officially not babies anymore :( I just packed up the crib today and moved it to the basement after months of it not being used. We are also done having babies so I gave away all of my maternity clothes...

FP - that is tough! You are still a good mom - accidents happen. My "bad mommy" moments have come from the 2 occasions when I took Alex to the doctor for a quick checkup because he had a nasty cough to be told to pack him up and take him to emerg immediately as he was really very sick. Wha...

I like hearing everyone's updates. I was running with some consistency and did the Mississauga 10k. Probably my slowest 10k yet, but faster than expected. Unfortunately, I had a bit of an asthmatic episode after that and have now been diagnosed with exercise induced asthma. My doctor is great and fu...

I like ground turkey, black beans and corn with taco seasoning on top of romaine lettuce. Yummy and simple. Hubby likes his with some salsa on top as well. ANother current favourite is a yummy lentil salad that I found in the Longo's magazine. I can't find the actual recipe anymore but it had lentil...

It was perfect weather tonight for running - I hope that those running tomorrow get the same weather. Cool and sunny. With the usual serving of little bugs along the lake

I mixed up some frozen bananas, some sun butter and some cocoa in the blender yesterday and it was fantastic. How do 3 little things taste so yummy together?

There are lots of great recipes on that site - thanks!

N is going to be very tough. Alex can take Timmy in a wrestling match and hold his own! He also seldom cries when he falls, bumps into things, etc. S5 - you are always welcome here. I love hearing about gender stereotypes for kids. As I have two boys, I've done a bit of reading/listening on how to ...

I tried one of these a few weeks ago and loved it. Such a nice easy breakfast! I did an apple cinnamon one and want to try a banana cocoa flavour. Yum!

Well done A and V!!! Are any of our Hot Running Momma's in Mississauga? I'll be in town next weekend and I'd like to do a 10k (or so) on Saturday morning. We're staying near Square One....any takers? I'm running Mississauga, but I'm doing the 10k on saturday night so I'm not up for a run that morni...

So very funny. Lightning, you never fail to make me laugh. I usually wear a jacket or baggy top with hopes of hiding the floppy belly. I'm screwed now that the warm weather is here. Jes - I tried to explain VB to hubby one time. He just kept saying "so, you mean your bum?". He didn't get i...

These are great ideas - keep them coming! I have a big almost empty deep freeze and lots of time on my hands

I know that a few of you do some big batch cooking and I'm looking for some inspiration. What are your favourite things to cook in large quantities and freeze for later meals?
Mine include waffles, chicken nuggets and pasta sauce (can you tell that I have kids?).

I made these yesterday with sunflower and pumpkin seeds instead of nuts and I was very pleasantly surprised. I've never tried a larabar (because of the nuts), but these are yummy and very satisfying. I'm excited to experiment with different flavours. I'm not usually satisfied with having just one of...

Yahoo! I have a new niece. I haven't seen her yet and won't until after work today, but I'm so excited that she is here. I can't wait for some newborn baby snuggles! congrats!! Yay! Congrats, what is her name? Mackenzie. She is pretty cute. And I was surprised when I held her that I didn't get the ...

Newborn snuggles when you get to give them back would be awesome!!! Does anyone have a teenager they can lend me for a few days? I need someone to teach Zack how to sleep in. These 5am wakeups are killing me! I can lend you Timmy - he sleeps like a teenager now most days. He fights going to bed at ...

Very exciting Tori! I'm glad that everyone is okay. I'm hoping to be an auntie again twice this week - my sister was due yesterday and my SIL is due on Sunday and they are both having girls and I'm so excited to get to snuggle newborn babies! Pts - that's very funny. While I don't remember a part of...

Thanks so much Holly! Seriously, I did not realize how frequently I check in here to see what is going on until I couldn't do it. I'm happy that RM is back online!

It always makes me happy to see people posting in this thread :D I'm working on running consistently right now - I was so impressed with myself that I ran on Christmas Day on the treadmill. Sure, I had to watch Diego save Santa while I was running instead of a "mommy show", but at least I ...

Awww, hugs to all who need them. Home with my dude, who has croup. Or is it The Croup? Slept on his floor last night...I was so worried and he was up tons. I never have brought him into our bed but tried last night. He wasn't having it! He demanded to go back to his bed. Ha! Little cutie. Anyway, t...

I think that we've all been THAT mom. Likely on more than one occasion. I find it most frustrating only when caught by that rare mom with children who listen well. Mine are either fighting to break out of the stroller or being bribed with treats to stay still! For the first night in I don't even kno...

I love hearing everyone's updates!! My kids are awesome :) The little one is still working on one word at a time, but gets more words everyday. Of course, Timmy is quite happy to interpret for him - "Alex wants a cookie. He's sad because he misses Daddy. He wants to come upstairs to play with m...
