Cleaning is a never ending chore. It always seems like as soon as you are done cleaning, it instantly dirty again. Yet, in the past year or so my kids have taken an interest in helping out. This help was offered, not payed for or used as punishment.  My kids can help cook, vaccum, mop the floors, clean the sinks, and even brush the toliet.

Dear Coastal Mommie;

There is one major element to your weight loss success and it must be present to reap each priceless benefit as you saunter through your days in search of a healthier lifestyle.  What might that be you may ask, a magician’s wand? Absolutely not.  Could it be a fabulous can filled with an enchanting potion?  No, not that either.  OK, how about that all inclusive, faster than the speed of light, astonishing spell?  No.  Take a guess, what do you think the one imperative factor may be?

Dear Lovely Mommie,
