Now we need to make sure the room is jam-packed. Consider yourself commanded to be there if you're at the conference. Unable to attend? Feel free (wink) to tweet the session or post about it on your blog. In my opinion it's as simple as this: If we arent willing to step up & guide the next generation as best we can what hope is there for change? When: Friday July 24th. What ... Continue Reading
Operation Beautiful.
Subtitle: Im a little late to this soiree---but better late than never. To know me at all is to know that my primary goal in this life is to raise my daughter to love herself & to realize that simply by being who she is that she's ENOUGH. (Mother's Day 2009 flashback) What I wish for her is this: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g1xpI3GITg My secondary goal in this life is to help ... Continue Reading
Perricone MD (giveaway post).
Once upon a time, back in the dark ages when MizFit was a little girl, her sister had a birthday party. Now MizFit remembers very little about this entire event except for an exchange which occurred between her mom & one of SisterFit's friends immediately after the gifts had been unwrapped. MamaFit: I love the present you brought SisterFit. All the make-up, nail polish and ... Continue Reading
Body Image: How can we be healthy role models?
This topic wasnt originally my plan for today's Monday Facetime----but I couldnt get your comments on this post out of my head. I was touched, saddened, heartened, inspired and, honestly, shocked by the stories you shared. The comment-snippets below sparked the Facetime which follows. Id be honored if you'd make the time to share your thoughts so we can compile an uplifting ... Continue Reading

As a result, one of my favorite things about the book You'd be so pretty ... Continue Reading

Thank you therapy or how to take a compliment.
Today's tip is brought to you by MizFit's Awkward Moments in Life # 2323: the compliment bestowage. About a decade ago it clicked for me that someone else being GREAT at something did not, in any way, diminish my greatness at aforementioned endeavor. Let me elaborate. If, for example, I read a friend's manuscript & am blown away by her writing skills it does not make my writing any ... Continue Reading
Link Love and a (this time let’s start with the) Friday FREEBIE!
This week's freebie is one I discovered ages ago and then, being the MizFit, had to tweak to suit my quirky needs. The tees they offer change frequently in their slogans but they're always cool clothing which is positive at its core. I cant recall the slogan options when I ordered as the one I selected for the (then not-toddler) Tornado was so perfect: I am my own superhero. To know me ... Continue Reading
A lesser woman would have gone into a tailspin and GUEST CHEF time.
Ever your MizFit-Friday-Freebie-Seeker I discovered an item I ADORE so I contacted the company (I know. let's just acknowledge I'm gonna be giving freebies that *I* would want to receive as gifts & move on. Perhaps they'll make you think of me when you wear/eat them.). Such a cool woman and she did *generously* agree to, in a few weeks, work her magic and give one of her creations ... Continue Reading
