Mama Mojo: Required Summer Reading

kelliemartin:

Do you remember when you were in school and had a required summer reading list for the summer? Call me crazy, but I really miss it. I remember sitting under a tree barefoot scaring myself half to death over my latest Nancy Drew book. Or hiding out in my room all day, no one bothering me until…

Mama Mojo: Earth Day to a Four Year Old

kelliemartin:

When I was a kid we didn’t have an Earth Day. Although, I suppose if we had it back then, we might not need it today.

Christa Black: How to push the 'RESET' button on your metabolism.

christablack:

I stood there alone in front of the open refrigerator, shoveling handful after handful of food into my mouth, barely chewing before swallowing, only to repeat the action over and over again.

I was standing in the hall beside the stage in El Dorado, Arkansas last weekend, waiting for Smitty to finish his meet-and-greet before heading to start the show, when I heard my name called.

After spending 4 years at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas (it’s a mouthful to…
