What does it mean to be Fit?

Mini-Tini’s and Strawberry Shortcakes
nicholmom3 posted 1 week 3 days ago — That pretty much sums up my weekend! Sounds yummy, and it was. I closed Friday night, so I didn’t get home until midnight. Of course I was wired and couldn’t fall asleep until 2 am. I had a pedicure scheduled at 11 am with my sister in...

My Exercise Diary aka Hold Me Accountable!!!
nicholmom3 posted 3 weeks 2 min ago — I’ve decided that if I truly am going to break out of my insecure shell and actually wear a bikini this summer (gasp) I need to get my butt in gear. I tend to have bursts of activity, and then loose all motivation for a few days. I’ve f...
A Day At The Zoo…
nicholmom3 posted 3 weeks 16 hours ago — Today I took my 3 kiddos to the Roger Williams Park & Zoo in Providence RI. It’s a great little zoo, lots of different animals to see. It is compact, and smaller than other zoos I’ve been to, but it fills a day, and you don’t...
