I’ve been making YouTube videos since 2009 and I have to tell you – those early videos are NOT pretty. In fact, I’d like to share my very first video on YouTube. This is what it looks like when you use your computer webcam. The video is grainy. The sound is questionable. And the lighting … Read more
Have the summertime blues hit yet? I waffled on the fence for quite a while about whether or not to send Evan to summer camp. In the end, I settled for twice-a-week tennis lessons and one week of Vacation Bible School. For the most part, it’s gone okay. In fact, I saw a complete change … Read more
A sure sign that you’re getting older? You refer to music as rock ‘n’ roll, “a genre of popular music that originated and evolved in the United States during the late 1940s and early 1950s.” Now I’m not old enough to have been around when it originated but I know about the greats like Chuck … Read more
This post was written as part of my role on the Netflix Stream Team. Topics, selections, and all opinions are my own. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

When I started the Shaklee 180 program, I had very high hopes that my whole family would get on board, embrace the healthy lifestyle, and we come out of these six months no longer known as the Nally family but as the svelte family. Well, I’m not svelte and neither are they but this program … Read more
I finished month 2 of the Shaklee 180 program. Have I lost more weight? Yes. Have I lost more inches? Yes. Will I tell you how much? No. BECAUSE THAT WOULD DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF MY BIG REVEAL TOMORROW. I’ve decided to do this real regular-like every month. Each month, I’m going to show you a … Read more
About a month ago, I revealed some really, really embarrassing photos of myself. But those photos did two things for me: 1. Gave me the realization that NOW is the time to do something about my health and fitness. 2. Held me to a certain level of public accountability. Since that post, I’ve started my … Read more
I’ll be heading to NYC in just a few short weeks for my return BlogHer, the largest women’s blogging conference in the world. I’m kind of excited to say it’s my third year. I’m starting to feel a little old school (Don’t worry. I know I’m not truly old school since I haven’t been blogging … Read more
I know that’s a big title for a post. And I know I’m probably not going to live up to your expectations. I’ve had lots of big days in my life that set so many events in motion. The day I moved away to college… My wedding day… The day my son was born… The … Read more
I find that Friday is one of the slowest days on the internet (second only to Saturday because hopefully people are enjoying some fresh air – you know, OUTSIDE). My email slows down. My Twitter stream slows down. Most people are done writing and promoting for the week and gearing up for the weekend. I … Read more
