Once upon a time there was a misfit mama who was looking for a fun & different PLAYout to do with her girl. The aforementioned Tornado of a Girl had a babysitter who was a belly dancer & she found the whole concept (& name) gigglyamusing. Many were the afternoons spent with her tee shirt [...]
Right before Thanksgiving, during the most convenient possible time of year, our dishwasher died. It suddenly & irrevocably refused to close. I couldnt fix it, the Tornado couldnt fix it, the Traveling Husband wasnt around to fix it & the plumber (who was here visiting for a different broken-stuff reason) was irrationally pissed & frustrated [...]
Yes we wear these constantly. Yes you may join us. Today, People, is National Love Your Body Day (or, if you live in our domicile, it’s simply Wednesday. We behave as though every day is NLYBD up in herre). And yes. Im here to shout from the proverbial rafters that I DO. I love my [...]
(there’s a video above if youre reading via google reader) One of my fondest mamahood memories is the first afternoon (we’ve now done it a few times) my daughter & I climbed upon the Operation Beautiful bandwagon.

This weekend I will have been married to Ren. Man for 13 years (together for 16). There are few things Im entirely certain of in my life, but one is we’d not still be together if I hadnt entered this union loving myself first. If I can impart one thing to you today it is [...]
subtitle: I havent forgotten the questions you left me in the comments. Did you tell your daughter what you were doing? Or is she too young (I don’t have kids yet)? I want to hear more about what you talked to your daughter about (during Operation Beautiful). She is the same age as my daughter. [...]
Now we need to make sure the room is jam-packed. Consider yourself commanded to be there if you’re at the conference. Unable to attend? Feel free (wink) to tweet the session or post about it on your blog. In my opinion it’s as simple as this: If we arent willing to step up & guide [...]
Subtitle: Im a little late to this soiree—but better late than never. To know me at all is to know that my primary goal in this life is to raise my daughter to love herself & to realize that simply by being who she is that she’s ENOUGH. (Mother’s Day 2009 flashback) What I wish [...]
Once upon a time, back in the dark ages when MizFit was a little girl, her sister had a birthday party.

MamaFit: I love the [...]
