I'm trying to make a few extra dollars by selling my son's old clothes. I've come to the realization that he will never wear them again =( [hahaa] and I need to make extra room so I've been giving some away, but I want to know if...

missmonika I was like that when my son was first born, but I realized he'll never wear them again and there are children out here that need clothes, and some parents struggle so I look at it as "recycling." For babyshowers I gather clothes and put them in a giftbag or...

missmonika Lol! that is very true. Even though I couldn't keep up with spark people it gives you great motivation. Food diaries are really good, people misunderstand that you don't need fad diets - just writing what you eat down and making changes and better choices is...

missmonika I'll be sure to read it. I tried breastfeeding for awhile, but I wasn't producing as much milk as I needed, and my son ended up losing weight within his 1st month which was very unexpected. So instead of risking his health I turned to formula. I really did put...

missmonika I haven't heard anyone to be successful with diets, because most of em are too strict and hard to maintain. Household work is a good one, which I do very frequently. I've heard yoga is good, I just wish I had the time for it. Hopefully I will soon, and I'll be...

missmonika He is 15 months. There is no need for an apology for exercising.. I don't mind, its what I did before I got pregnant and its what I do when I have time. I indeed know its not magic, exercise is like a "duhh" so nothing new was stated in regards to "Mommy's...
