surviving hallowe’en, guilt-free
Dara (Belly Bootcamp) in Been Around the Blog, Fitness Blogaholic - 1 comment - posted on Oct 28th, 2010We mommies sure can find any excuse to feel guilty. This week, I had the best intentions of coming up with some vintage store, urban take on my preschooler’s stereotypical princess costume. Last Hallowe’en, she was still small enough for me to “suggest” she might want to be a cute little ladybug. But now she’s 3 and it’s all princesses, princesses, princesses. So I found myself, strapped for time, at the mall picking through the polyester costume-in-a-bag selection. She got her princess costume. And she loves it! But I feel guilty for not providing a homemade, hand-sewn costume. I can’t … Continue reading

A Home Gym For the Rest of Us
Dara (Belly Bootcamp) in Fitness Blogaholic, Just Between Us - 0 comments - posted on Feb 28th, 2010I occasionally have the pleasure of working with a client who has a real home gym – like the home gyms you see on MTV Cribs (did I just inadvertently confess to watching brainless prepubescent entertainment?) minus the Swarovski crystal-encrusted stopwatches. Most of the time, my clients do not have a whole room they can afford to designate solely to the pursuit of fitness. Sometimes we work out in their bedrooms, sometimes we work out in their basements, sometimes it’s a corner of the living room and the attached staircase… You don’t need a “gym” to work out at home. … Continue reading
