Nobody wants to hear about your workout!

So this made me laugh so hard! My group of friends on Facebook has recently taken up weight loss, which is great! I'm all for healthy weight loss! BUT, they aren't sharing their weight loss on Facebook because they are accomplishing anything, but instead, they are sharing because they are trying to sell me their weight loss goods.

One of my friends posted a video of herself, 9 months pregnant, doing heavy duty exercise with her belly sticking out below her tank and leggings on. Let me tell you, there are some things that one can not unsee in your mind!! Nothing about her belly flopping around looked healthy or appealing! I'm not even saying that being pregnant makes you look fat, but this was not a great example of healthy looking pregnancy! There was literally a roll of belly flab slapping around under her pregnant belly. Gross!!

Another friend recently posted a before and after picture of her supposed weight loss. I've looked at it for a long time, but I can't see the difference. If you are going to expose yourself and put up a picture of yourself in your bra, you better be really sure that everyone can tell the difference. I actually thought she looked better in the first picture, because her face looked healthy.

Don't get me wrong, I myself am Healthy Meal Replacements (shameless plug!) and of course, am very excited about the results and want all my friends and family to join me in my quest to get healthy. But I not to post constant "selling" posts on Facebook and other social media about my products along with horrible pictures of myself.

I've lost 35 pounds and you can tell that I have, I only share my before and after pictures with friends I'm actually having a private conversation with about it and they ask me! I never share pictures of my unclad body, though. I definitely don't share videos of myself exercising, pregnant or otherwise, because nobody wants to see that! I take pictures before and after shots with modest apparel on, so you can get the idea, without having a bad experience in your mind!

Dear Weight Loss Enthusiast Friends - Please don't share your exercise and weight loss pictures constantly on your feeds! Nobody is that interested in it! Thank you, kindly!

DIY Pig Feeder

This is our second year of raising pigs for the fair. We've had some bumps along the way, one of them was our homemade feeder of last year. I tend to have ideas, and then Mr. Right gets the pleasure of trying to execute my ideas. Most of the time it works out, but last year, our feeder was a fail. This year, we need a feeder that can go a long period of time, since our pigs are not on our property where we live. Our neighbor made a complaint about the smell of the pigs last year to our landlord, so the landlord told us no more pigs. (Keep in mind, there are only 2 pigs on 6 acres and they are only here for 5 months and then go to the 4-H fair and livestock auction) Thankfully, another neighbor graciously allowed us to pen up a corner of her horse pen, to put our pigs in. This year, I wanted to be sure that Mr. Right did a quality version of the pig feeder that would make it through the entire five months, and hopefully...

Drop Cloth Couch Re-do

It's my 100th Post! What a great big reveal I have in store for you today! Three years ago, I found Miss Mustard Seeds' 6 part How to Make Slipcovers Series and started with watching the first video. I ran out to Home Depot and purchased two drop clothes, washed and bleached them to get ready for making the slipcovers for my two couches, and there they sat folded nicely in my craft room! A year ago, we moved across the country, so I packed those drop clothes up in a box, clearly marked them and put them on the truck. When we arrived, I put them in front of all my other boxes to do first. We even moved again over Christmas, and I moved that box again! Then, I did a pillow re-do, HERE that pushed me over the edge. I just had to tackle those slip covers! Before of the couch and the pillows that began the entire thing! I had a Saturday, where the guys were doing guy things and it was me and the girls hom...

Top 5 Gifts for the Piano Student

As a piano teacher, I thought I'd put out there some of my top recommendations for great, yet practical and fun gifts for the piano student this holiday season! 1. Piano Maybe you weren't totally sold on your child playing piano, or maybe you got an instrument to get you thru the interim, until you find or can afford that better instrument, but what student wouldn't be ecstatic about receiving a better one for Christmas (or consider buying it for your family)? Here's a great article that will get you started in making the right decision: The Ins and Outs of Buying a Piano. If you're wanting to order a digital piano, here are two recommendations: Be sure that you have a stand, pedal, and bench for use with the digital piano. 2. Metronome I love this one But this one is great too! 3. New Music Ok, so this one takes a little research. Ask your piano ...
