Dealing With Depression ~ A Knot at the End of My Rope

Dealing With Depression ~ A Knot at the End of My Rope

ByDan Jacobs

I am not certain why I shared this, other than I felt it was necessary for me to do so. If I can reach even one person who may feel like letting go, and convince them to knot their rope, then I will consider this message a success. Depression and anxiety are intensely personal and the events that I described represent some of the darkest and most painful moments of my life. I do not claim to be any sort of an expert on the subject of mental illness, at least not any more so than the millions of other people who either have gone through it could lay claim to such.

How My Friends and I Are FINALLY Losing Weight!!

ByMariel

Oh, losing weight… the story of my adult life! With every baby I have (that’s 7!), it gets harder and harder to lose the weight after. It used to be that I could do practically ANY diet, and it would work… low carb, low fat, low calorie, etc. But, as I got older it has seemed like nothing works. I even worked with a personal trainer for two years, made some definite fitness progress, but really struggled when it came to cutting. I tried macros, her bodybuilding diet, and basically everything under the sun, to no avail. Ugh. Soooo annoying.

Starts January 2nd, 2017 and TOTALLY FREE!!

Dan’s Man Rant: Of Mouse and Dan

Dan’s Man Rant: Of Mouse and Dan

ByDan Jacobs

RH was the most diabolically clever mouse there ever was. I think he was toilet trained, because he never left droppings. I also am convinced he was smarter than me. He stole the bait out of my traps, ignored the mouse poison I had set out for him and even put two perfect little paw prints in one of those sticky traps (how the heck did he get out of that one??). It was like he was putting his hand-prints in cement for the Hollywood walk of fame, just to let me know that he was there. He was a ninja among mice.

Poison Ivy is definitely not an experience anyone wants to have. But at least Dan can make you laugh a little bit about it in today's post!

Dan’s Man Rants: Poison Ivy (he: Dan)

ByDan Jacobs

This post has everything to do with the cursed mosquito’s cursed plant-cousins: Poison Ivy , Oak, and Sumac. Three plants which I officially put on notice. Your plant days are numbered! You did your durndest to derail my summer, now I will return the favor by swearing an eternal enmity between you and Dankind. I declare you an official enemy of the state of Dan. It is my intention to go all gangsta Round-Up on your three leafed plant kiesters.

Tis the season for setting goals! Dan shares his insightful and always hilarious outlook on New Year's resolutions and his goals for the year! www.orsoshesays.com

10 Resolutions for 2016 – Guarantee It’s a Winner Year (he: Dan)

ByDan Jacobs

I really don’t care too much for New Years. It’s not just that we have yet another reason to over-eat (which I always do), stay up late (which I am having a harder and harder time doing), or deal with the nuclear fallout which are my grumpy kids (and their grumpy parents) the day after. It’s the whole New Year’s resolution forum I hold in the highest disdain as well. In fact, I have boycotted the whole institution of resolution making for the last several years. I just can’t see why I should set goals that I most likely will not have the will-power to achieve.

Be Your Best Self – Fill Your Bucket (she: Veronica)

ByVeronica

For me personally, I love to give. I love to serve and help and be busy doing good things. I love taking care of my family and making sure they have what they need. Those things are important to me because they are important things! BUT…we must be willing to stop and take care of ourselves as well. When we get so wrapped up in taking care of everyone but ourselves, eventually what we will have to give may not be enough.

ByBecky

These Top 5 Cute Bun Hairstyles for Girls will have you running for your combs and hairspray! These are some of our tried and true go-to styles for school mornings or playful weekends. As a kid I LOVED doing my sister and friends’ hair. I taught myself how to french braid on a doll, then graduated to my (poor guinea pig) sister, and I finally get to play with my daughter’s hair! Since she’s the only girl, she gets the full brunt of my love for all things hair.
