Did you know that males and females react differently to these cold temps? Check out this cool infographic below: So, what do you do to fight these cold temperatures? Do you grab a blanket? Turn up the heat? Light a fire? Use a portable heater? I know when I get cold and cuddle up … [Read more...]
As we have been talking about New Year's Resolutions here at Mama Luvs Books, you all know health and losing weight are some of my many goals! I have already been working on exercising more and revamping my site here at Mama Luvs Books (two other goals I had), and now I need to bring a better focus on what I am eating. I was so excited to find these Balance Bar® snacks to eat in between meals or for a lunch substitute! They are super delicious, … [Read more...]
Most of you know that I was a teacher for eight years, but what you might not know is that I was privileged enough to be able to travel to Japan twice for teaching experiences. The first trip I took was a three week stay with the Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher's Program. It was an amazing experience. I traveled with 200 teachers from the United States to Japan for an educational journey to learn about their culture and academic system. I stayed … [Read more...]
Well, you all already know that I'm a fan of reality TV from my True Confessions of a Reality TV Show Junkie post. This post is about something entirely different.

As you all know, I just recently moved from Blogger to WordPress. I have to say my thoughts the first week using it are very favorable. I love the new look of my site. I also love the widgets (yes, I've been up late searching through the vast options out there), and I just love learning something new in general. If you are afraid to take the leap because of the learning curve, do not worry. It's not that difficult. It's just different. I thought … [Read more...]
I am going to make a confession. We have been letting the kids eat less than healthy meals, and for part of my New Year's Resolution series I am going to show you how we are working to make a change. I am a former teacher, so I should definitely know better. Kids require healthy food, especially for breakfast, to have them learn effectively. You always hear that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so I am going to work harder to make … [Read more...]
