Residential Student Rights and Responsibilities

General Rules of Conduct

In all communities, there is a moral code of ethical behavior that binds participants together, and a body of official
rules and regulations that defines personal freedoms and responsibilities. It applies to all members of the
residential living community and is intended to promote an atmosphere of trust and fairness in all residential
spaces and in the conduct of daily campus life. Outlined in this section we have provided the rules and regulations
for campus life as well as the consequences associated with violations of the general rules of conduct.
As part of the residential living community, all students and their guests are expected to:

  1. Abide by all policies and procedures as stated in the Housing Contract, Residence Life Policies & Community Standards, and the College of Charleston Student Handbook.

  2. Understand that ignorance of the policies and procedures found in the Housing Contract, Residence Life
    Policies & Community Standards, and the Student Handbook does not absolve students and guests from the policies and consequences therein.

  3. Residence Life and Campus Housing Administration reserves the right to refer violators of any alleged
    charges/violations to the appropriate campus authority, which may include the Department of Public
    Safety or the Dean of Students.

Listed below are several publications from the College of Charleston. The listed publications contain information about many of the college's policies and procedures.

If you have any questions about the information within these publications, please call us at 843.953.5523 or email us at

Retailers Keep it Simple for Shoppers this Holiday Season

0 CommentBy

Shoppers have more money in their pockets this holiday season, as unemployment remains at a post-recession low and fuel prices remain low. However, in a competitive retail market, standing out among the competition is a major feat. According to new data from JLL’s 2015 Holiday Sentiment Report, which includes feedback from largely national or global retailers in JLL-managed shopping centers across the United States, this year’s differentiator will hinge on simplifying things for consumers by offering integrated online and in-store purchasing.

“The retailers who will stand out from the pack this year will be those who push the envelope on convenience offerings, without taking it to the point where it hurts the bottom line,” said Naveen Jaggi, President of Retail Brokerage, JLL. “While more than 90 percent of total retail sales in the U.S. are generated at brick-and-mortar stores, this holiday season we’re seeing even tighter, more unified sales platforms that allow easy pick-up and return options.”

Retailers are narrowing the gap between online offerings and in-store shopping and embracing so-called “frictionless” commerce. This year, there has been a marked uptick in services focused on convenience. Price, accessibility and selection are at the top of holiday shopper’s lists, which is why nearly half of retailers surveyed plan to offer free shipping or ship-from-store to consumers this holiday season, a 12 percent increase over last year. Similarly, online ordering and in-store pick-up will be offered by 44 percent of retailers surveyed, an uptick of approximately six percentage points from last year. Conversely, additional holiday perks like free gift with purchase, geo-location based discounts, free layaway and in-store entertainment showed little change compared to last year.

“Consumers are cost conscious and time averse, demanding products where they want them, when they want them. Convenience is driving their buying decisions and impacting how retailers are meeting their needs this holiday season. Retailers are embracing the strategy to keep it simple this holiday season, which shows just how in charge today’s customers are,” said Holly Rome, Director of National Retail Leasing, JLL. “We find that internet users are picking up their purchases in-store to save on shipping charges and get their goods faster, while brick-and-mortar shoppers are using online platforms to research a product before they shop.”

Some retailers will employ technology to earn sales, although the prevalence of easy mobile payments and fast delivery is still years from ubiquity. Only 30 percent of retailers indicated they will have easy check-out with iPads or mobile payments. A shy 8 percent will offer same-day delivery as part of their program to woo customers.

For more information on JLL’s 2015 Holiday Sentiment Survey visit:

JLL surveyed retail tenants in shopping centers in 17 states between September 18 and October 5, 2015. Slightly more than 40 percent (41 percent) of survey respondents were apparel retailers. Other major categories of respondents include Restaurant, Food and Beverage (13.1 percent) Jewelry (8.0 percent) and Luxury (5.6 percent). Nearly 70 (69.0) percent of respondents were inline retail locations, while 76.2 percent occupied stores under 5,000 square feet. Another 45.4 percent were single locations or part of local and regional chains.

Getrocknete Brennessel ist ein absolutes Must-Have für die Hausapotheke. - Dryed nettle is a must-have for the kitchen apothecary.
Healthy Diet

The nettle – A true miracle!

By on March 7, 2017

Nettle does not only dehydrate if neccessary and detoxify but has also anti-inflammatory agents. The fact the small but strong plant also contains a lot of protein and minerals, such as calcium and iron, makes it a good ally against the pain.

The nettle grows in a wonderful abundance and can be harvested in long tufts wild or in the garden and then simply be dried. So you can prepare your own supply of dried leaves and don´t have to buy them.

Nettle has traditionally also been used for the production of beer and has long been a valuable raw material for the production of clothing. By some, the nettle fabric was regarded as even finer than cotton and linen and it was very popular. Ropes from nettle fibers were also appreciated for their durability and strength.

Against rheumatoid pain, nettle does not only help when taken internally: Many patients report that a gentle beat with fresh nettle leaves on affected body areas, such as inflamed joints, provides relief. If the burning of the nettle-leaves decreases, it takes the rheumatism with it.

Nettle tastes delicious as salad, as steamed vegetables or – of course – also as tea (tip: sweeten with honey)!

The World

Hi, ich bin Lisa! Weil ich davon überzeugt bin, dass sich auch mit Rheuma ein ganz wunderbares Leben leben lässt, möchte ich meine eigenen Erfahrungen mit dir teilen. Viel Spaß beim Entdecken der schönen Seiten des Lebens! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hi I am Lisa and I am an optimist, despite rheumatism. I am convinced that we can live a wonderful life - even with rheumatism! Therefore I am sharing my own experiences with you. Enjoy the bright side of life!

Managing social media accounts – FACEBOOK

Learning how to manage social media is a full time gig right??

Once you figure out who you are reaching out to and building your audience relationship with then stick to four platforms…

We have all heard of;

Facebook, Linked-in, Snap-chat, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Pintrest, Youtube, the list goes on right… I cant tell you which ones to spend time on to build your audience and grow a following, however I would advise picking a maximum of four of these and post engaging updated articles and expand your brand at least on a weekly basis at the same time every week, whilst always delivering high value and driving people back to your hubsite/blog.

LAst week I showed you guys how to get 65k+ views on Linked-in and hope you had more success simply by following the simple steps I showed you, just incase you missed it check it out here:

Richie’s Blog post teaching you how to get 65k+ views on Linked-in

Lets look at Facebook, THere is so much we can look at with FB training starting with pages, groups, how to rank your posts and how to get enagement however  this all seems to obvious…

Do you get constant friend requests and dont have the time to manage your friends list?

Here is the solution…

The biggest tool I use with Facebook is a mass friend remover plug-in – its completely free and allows you delete “friends” in bulk, if you keep hitting that dreaded 5000 maximum then this is an amazing resource:

Here is the link (its completely free):

Facebook Friend Remover PRO 2016

Or simply type into google “friend remover pro”

Let me know how you get on!

Dr. Xenon Bloom is a character of the day and served as one of the protagonists, appearing in the 3rd episode, Anatomy Park. Bloom is an amoeba who is the co-founder of Anatomy Park. He is voiced by John Oliver.

Dr. Bloom, along with the help of Rick, builds Anatomy Park inside a disease-infested Ruben. Dr. Bloom's team consists of Poncho, Roger, and Annie. While traveling through Anatomy Park to figure out why the park's security system is failing, Dr. Bloom and his team must then traverse the dangers of Anatomy Park and escape Ruben. However, he does not escape and is killed by E. coli while manually operating the Bone Train to save Morty and Annie.

Dr. Bloom taught Annie to the degree she believed she could build an entirely new Anatomy Park. Rick eagerly took this as an opportunity to build a second park choosing Summer's boyfriend Ethan as the host.

Dr. Bloom appears in a picture on Rick's bedroom wall in the episode, "Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind".

According to a Reddit post by Ryan Ridley, one of the writers for the show, Bloom is an alien being whom Rick met during one of his many adventures. They came up with the idea for Anatomy Park and found a group of humans willing to be shrunk and work inside Ruben. He was also originally planned to be human.

Season 1

  • He is based on John Hammond, the creator and CEO of Jurassic Park.
  • His name "Xenon Bloom" is a play on words/reference to Jeff Goldblum, one of the main cast in the Jurassic Park movies. The connection being that Xenon and Gold are both chemical elements, and 'blum' from Goldblum is pronounced as bloom.

Community Update 4

We recently attended a small event showcasing our game demo and it was a major success! Thank you to all who attended. With that being said, we've received a ton of feedback both good and bad to work from and improve upon. We strongly encourage as much support and feedback as possible from everyone as it inevitably helps and advances our development progress. With the feedback given, we will be improving and optimizing the demo level for future events and we will also be showcasing some new things in the works at Rillyboss Studios. This weekend some of the team will be attending a casual event in Aurora, Colorado at Rocky Ridge Park from 11:00am to 6:00pm which will primarily focus on partners and developers. Feel free to drop by!

New Faces

We've been working hard here at Rillyboss, and after the release of our demo we have a boatload more to do. So we've brought on three new people to the company to help bring our future games to life! We've brought on Jeremiah, who specializes in modeling and texture wrapping for environmental props. Jared, who will be primarily leading the art for some of our characters and main boss modeling. Finally we have Julian, who brings detailed concept art, environmental, and character modeling to the table. Now that we have a solid team put together, we've begun designing and conceptualizing the official new game for release.

Behind the Scenes

Over the last week and a half we've had several in depth meetings to lay down the foundation of what the game will inevitably look like, and what is going to be honed in on specifically for quick release. Our creative minds behind the scenes have been churning out awesome ideas and we are all excited to show what we can do. Our artists have been very hard at work this last week creating concepts and beginning the designs for characters and environment props. So without further adieu, this week we will be showcasing some concepts for an environment we are working on for the official game from the creative concept mind of Julian. We will be showcasing our other artists work as well in the coming week, so keep on the lookout for our development and community updates!

Looking Forward

With the success of our demo showcase and our newly put together development A-Team, we look to start developing some amazing, intense, and addicting games in the near future. We will be keeping everyone up to date via blogs, social media, and we will also be attending events as frequently as possible in Colorado to help spread the word. Coming in the near future we will be attending a Twitch event and showcasing our modified demo level and some brand new, never seen before gameplay of our development levels for the official game. The event will be held once again at the Platt Park Brewery in Denver, where you will have the opportunity to try out new games, drink, win prizes and givaways, and have fun! We will keep you posted with details on the event this friday via blog and social media! So keep a lookout, and we can't wait to see you there!

The Gingerbread Baby

Students listened to The Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett this week during Library time. Afterwards, they were given a special treat - their very own Gingerbread Baby cookie to eat! Yum! Many students had never tasted gingerbread before and decided to give it a try. Everyone decided that the Gingerbread Baby was pretty tasty. Here is the printable recipe for making your own Gingerbread Baby which can be found on Jan Brett's website. Just peeking!

Story Telling in 1st Grade

1st Grade students listened to the book The Mitten by Jan Brett, who is author of the month for December. The story is about a white mitten that gets lost in the snow and when several woodland animals find warmth in the mitten, it stretches to many times its size. Students colored and cut their own mitten as well as woodland animals to be able to retell the story to their classmates. We had a great time, and found that retelling a story is harder than it may seem! Check out the pictures and short clip of Sarah retelling her version of The Mitten.

Brussels In Bright Colours – Part 1

Winter has come. Lately, the weather has become sombre and the cityscape looks a bit sad with all the barren trees. I think back to the beautiful autumn we have had…

These pictures are from Bois de la Cambre/Ter Kamerenbos, an urban Brussels park measuring 1.23 square kilometres.

It has a lake with a small island, called Robinson’s Island.

The chalet on the island is called Robinson’s Chalet. The original one dates from 1877 but was destroyed by a fire in 1991. This one was built in 2006 and opened in 2009.

The chalet has a restaurant on the ground floor and a ballroom on the first.

Embodiment and successful human-computer communication

Wittgenstein argued that it was "Shared human means of which we interpret an unknown language." (Philosophical Investigations, 1953, Blackwell, 2001).  If this is true then for an AI and a human to communicate and understand each other they need to share the same sets of behaviors.  This is also what's needed to define the most compact and most primitive set of basic concepts and vocabulary.  Again, with Asa H I am trying to accomplish this with the kind of embodiment described in my blogs of  1 Oct. and 5 Nov. 2015. (Also see a beginning of this in the protolanguage section of chapter 1 of my book Twelve Papers,

A robot's pain

I have placed small aluminum foil tabs on various lego bricks in my lego NXT robot.  When the bricks are properly seated the tabs make good contact.  When two bricks pull sufficiently far apart the tabs lose electrical contact and this signals a pain to the Asa H brain.  This sort of pain sensor allows for the robot's action or an external agent to reseat the bricks and cure the pain. Asa can learn which pains are correlated with any given robot malfunctioning.

Limited vocabulary for Asa H

If there can be a limited (minimal) vocabulary and a small number of primitive terms and concepts (in the sense of Ramsey, Carnap, Lewis, the Canberra plan, and Carnap's aufbau project) then I would want to be sure to ground each of those concepts using the methods I described in my blogs of 1 Oct. 2015 and 5 Nov. 2015.  (The set of primitive concepts may not be unique, of course.) Not all of the concepts need be defined on the same level in the case hierarchy. They may reside in different languages.

Private language? More experimental philosophy

As my artificial intelligence Asa H learns spatial temporal patterns from the world it collates these observations into concepts of various degrees of abstraction.  I.e., it learns a hierarchically organized vocabulary/language (or series of vocabularies/languages)  with which it then describes/understands the world it lives (acts) in.  If Wittgenstein , Dewey, and Quine are right no private language is possible and it should be possible for me to decode all of Asa's casebases and translate them into some human understandable natural language.  (The translation process might be very difficult, however.)  I have been successful at some of this as reported in my publications and in this blog over the years.  But there have also been portions of Asa's casebase that I have not been able to translate, and then still other bits that I have found that I have gotten wrong.

It is also true that if one starts with 2 identical AIs and train both on identically the same input examples (but presented in different orders) one can develop different concepts (internal vocabularies) in the 2 resulting minds. Various machine learning algorithms do this.

Kelly has suggested conditions under which "minor differences in the order in which they receive the data may lead to different inductive conclusions in the short run.  These distinct conclusions cause a divergence of meaning between the two scientists..." (The Logic of Reliable Inquiry, Oxford U. Press, 1996, Pg 381-382)  And "two logically reliable scientists can stabilize in the limit to theories that appear to each scientist to contradict one another." (Pg. 383) "nothing in what follows presupposes meaning invariance or intertranslatability." (Pg. 384) Perhaps neither could then understand (or translate) the other's private language (concepts/vocabulary/ontology).

Clearly, this is also related to scientific pluralism, the idea of reconceptualizing reality, and the possibility of having alternate realities.

Experimental philosophy and AI research

Being an advocate of scientific pluralism I may explore or make use of some viewpoint without expecting it to be universal.  We may come to understand one way of thinking (or one mechanism of thinking) without believing that we understand all of the intricacies ("mechanisms") of thought.

My creativity machine experiments (Trans. Kansas Acad. Sci., vol. 102, pg 32, 1999) rewrote natural language as PROLOG or other code ("logical language" if you will) and then applied logic programming or something similar to deduce conclusions or make postulates.  This can be thought of as a computer implementation of logical positivism.  And, similarly, when my AI Asa H starts with Lego NXT sensor input only and learns more and more complex (and abstract) spatial temporal patterns with which it comes to understand (be able to act successfully in) its world.

Experiments with Asa H can also be thought of as work in experimental philosophy looking into the details of  functionalism.

The many dimensions of vagueness in Asa H

My artificial intelligence Asa H incorporates vagueness in a number of ways.  Clustering averages multiple spatial temporal observations to form a given concept.  None of the individual observations are an exact match to the concept.  Some similarity measure (or possibly several different similarity measures) compares an observed spatial temporal pattern with a known concept. Generalizations across the hierarchical memory organization are abstractions (vague). Time and spatial dilations constitute yet another source of vagueness. This all has implications for the philosophy of vagueness.

Problem lists

Laboratories, research groups, institutions should keep multiple "problem lists."  One list may contain open questions in your field of research.  In my case this might be questions like what is consciousness or how should we implement attention.  A different list would contain items that we think should be improved upon.  In my case, for example, I am doing certain things to control complexity but I may hope or believe that we might do better.  Or I may be using some algorithm but believe that a better one may be possible.

In today's world most work is done by groups. (I am one of the few remaining lone wolves.) Some  member of the group may have useful ideas about how to solve a problem faced by some other researcher. Several such outstanding problem lists should be maintained and reviewed periodically.

Doing more with simulators

Robot simulators are faster and more economical than real physical robots.  Any simulation can be thought of as 2 coupled Turing machines, one representing the robot (i.e., Asa H software plus any pre and post processors) and the other representing the environment.  (See my blogs of 7 Jan 2015 and 23 June 2015) I have been recording the environment's response during my embodied robot concept learning experiments, i.e., the work described in the blogs of  1 Oct. 2015 and 5 Nov. 2015. I can now use these recordings as the case base for a case-based reasoner which serves as a virtual robot's environment.

Sunday, March 6, 2016

Years (decades) ago I had a student who was inspired by the original Star Wars movie to get into S.T.E.M.  She wanted to build R2-D2. (I have always preferred the robots from the film Silent Running and, before that, the robots from Asimov's book I, Robot and Jack Williamson's  The Humanoids.) At that time we could not build R2-D2.  Now, however, my LEGO NXT embodied Asa H directed robots can perform all of the functions/behaviors that R2 exhibited in the first film. (I have not seen some of the more recent Star Wars films.) Those functions are:
          Mobile, wheeled but can step slightly (all terrain wheels and suspension)
          Arms with grippers, manipulators, and/or fixturing
          Accepts plug-in memory
          Head rotates
          Interfaces to computers
          Communicates in a robot language
          Reads and stores and replays data
          Fire fighting
          Speech recognition and voice control
A modified version of Blankenship's "Arlo" could do all this for a cost of perhaps $3000.
(But it was never clear to me that any of the Star Wars robots had sufficient capabilities so as to justify the cost of their construction and deployment.)

Elon Musk was similarly inspired to want to build the Millennium Falcon. Some fiction can serve as inspiration.

Reconceptualizing reality

A number of  the models that Asa H has created are non-Markovian. (Which is quite natural given the data structures Asa H uses. See my blog of 22 Nov. 2010)  This is probably the most profound change that Asa has suggested so far. (See also my blog of 28 Feb. 2011)

Asa's subcategorization of its senses

For simplicity sake I have frequently mounted some of Asa H's sensors (fixed) on the PC. Sound sensors and smell (smoke) sensors for example, and sometimes fixed webcams. Other sensors must be carried along on Asa's mobile LEGO robots. Examples would be pain and force sensors and accelerometers and gyros.  I have frequently had a third group of sensors which the mobile robots must grasp and carry to the location where they will be used.  These are things like electric and magnetic field probes, thermometers, GM counters, pH and salinity (taste) probes, etc.  When Asa is embodied in this particular fashion it forms three categories of senses.
Humans do not categorize their senses in this way. (Although one may have to bring his hand near a heat source in order to feel its warmth and will have to bring food or drink to its mouth to taste it.) I can prevent Asa from making these distinctions by mounting all of the various sensors on the mobile robots.  This is more cumbersome for the robotic elements, however.
Again, for some work, like natural language understanding, I would like Asa to understand human concepts as closely as possible.  For other projects, like attempting to reconceptualize reality, I am happy for Asa to form its own unique set of categories.

Our humanity is central to the immigration controversy. Jose Antonio Vargas’s new book, “Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen” (HarperCollins, September 18, 2018, 256 pages) looks deep into his oft-repeated answer, “I am an American. I just don't have the right papers.”

In “Dear America,” Vargas, 37, shares his life candidly to correct lies and assumptions, and to frame immigration in its messy and factual reality.

His story begins at age 12 when his mother sent him from the Philippines to America to live with his grandparents who are naturalized U.S. citizens. At age 16, he discovered he was undocumented but kept it secret for years. After college, he began a career in journalism, working for the San Francisco Chronicle, The Philadelphia Daily News, The Washington Post and The New Yorker.

As a young reporter, Vargas won a team Pulitzer Prize for The Washington Post’s stories about the Virginia Tech shootings in 2008. Since then, he has written for national newspapers and produced documentaries, for example, on the AIDS crisis. After years of secrecy, Vargas publicly admitted to being undocumented in a 2011 essay in The New York Times. He founded Define American, which seeks to humanize the immigration controversy through facts and stories.

When The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) for those 30 years old and younger went into effect in 2012, Vargas was ineligible having just turned 31.

In 2014, he was told by TV host Bill O’Reilly on-air, “You don’t deserve to be here.” When he spoke at a public event, an attendee screamed at Vargas, “Get in line!”

Here’s the thing: for Vargas and 11 million undocumented residents, there is no line, no pathway to citizenship, only deportation. It’s the limbo of not being allowed to belong to a country you love, and facing deportation to a country you don’t know. Close relationships are avoided for fear of painful separation and putting friends in jeopardy. It is emotional homelessness.

Just go home? America is his home.

“Dear America” is eye-opening with its facts.

For example, Asians, not Latinos, are the fastest growing undocumented population in the U.S.

Undocumented Americans pay $11.64 billion in state and local taxes and $12 billion into the Social Security Trust Fund annually.

How is this possible without a Social Security card? The U.S. issues a “Taxpayer Identification Number” that allows the undocumented to file tax returns. It’s taxation without representation, and Vargas wrote, “The government has no problem taking our money; it just won’t recognize that we have the right to earn it.”

As a lightning rod for those without the right papers, Vargas is told he hasn’t earned the right to be an American citizen. “Dear America, Notes of an Undocumented Citizen” is Vargas’s thoughtful reply. Those of us, blessed by American birthright, might ask ourselves, what do we do to “earn” our place here?

Lou Simmons Breathes Fire, Burns Bridges on Slots

Kathleen Miller of the Examiner picked up some nice quotes from flame-throwing Delegate Luiz Simmons (D-17) blasting his colleagues for not supporting the anti-slots campaign. Here's a sample:
“Slots are the easy road for politicians to travel down; it holds the promise of a free lunch, all net-net and no cost,” the Montgomery Democrat said. “Overwhelmingly, those who lose money are the poor, the old, the vulnerable and racial minorities, the very same people we’re always saying we are trying to help...”

Simmons said, “The Montgomery County political establishment has caved in here.” What bugs him the most, he added, is that Montgomery’s state legislators, who largely fought together against slots proposals from former Republican Gov. Robert Ehrlich, were vital to passing this year’s referendum.

“I thought when many people spoke out against Ehrlich’s slots, that they spoke on principle,” Simmons said. “It turns out they spoke on politics. Here’s a group that said rhetorically, we’re against slots, but when push came to shove, the referendum couldn’t have passed without them.”
Well now! We ran a complete list of the elected leaders who joined the anti-slots campaign back in May, along with those who voted against the referendum but did not sign on with Marylanders United to Stop Slots. Delegate Simmons is a longtime opponent of slots, but one wonders whether statements such as these are the best way to persuade his fellow politicians to join his cause.

Would you care for some saltpeter to go with that nitroglycerin you've been drinking, Delegate?

Eating Better and Jillian Michaels Detox Water

Good afternoon!

Today’s Workout

  • Plank #30 – 3 minutes and 16 seconds
  • Stationary bike – 12 minutes
  • BodyPump – 60 minutes
  • Elliptical - 20 minutes

When I woke up yesterday morning, my ankle was killing me. It hurt to put any pressure on it. I am assuming that I did something to it while I was running on Saturday, but nothing stands out in my mind. I didn’t hurt or twist it at all, but it sure is sore.

It was still sore when I woke up this morning, so I made sure to do low impact cardio like the bike and elliptical. I hope that it starts to feel better by tomorrow because I have to start my 15k training soon.

I probably should have started already but I haven’t. I have never followed a set training plan before, so hopefully I can stick to it!

Best Post-Workout Snack – McDonald’s Coffee and a mint Builder bar:

Danny and I have about nine days left until the FitFluential DietBet is over. I am really going to have to work hard if I plan on losing my 4%. Like I’ve mentioned, I ate pretty much whatever I wanted during spring break and Easter. I haven’t weighed myself, but I know that I’ve gained a few pounds.

I am glad to get back on track because when I eat like crap, I feel like crap. And I felt really crappy all last week, so things will be better this week!

I decided to drink the Jillian Michaels Detox Water again this week. I drank it for a week about two months ago and felt like it helped, so I’m doing it again.

Basically, you mix up the following and drink it throughout the day for seven days while eating healthy meals:

  • 60 ounces distilled water
  • 1 tbsp. sugar-free cranberry juice
  • Dandelion root tea
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

I had a lot of cranberry juice leftover last time, so I froze it in ice-cube trays and just added one to the pitcher this morning.

I know that they sell bottled lemon juice at the store, but I prefer using fresh lemon juice, so I bought a juicer for only $3.99.

Eating healthy might seem hard at times, but I always feel so much better when I eat better.

My stomach doesn’t feel the greatest from eating so much yesterday, so by the time lunch rolled around, I didn’t want to eat anything to heavy. I had a big plate of fruit and veggies with hummus. I also had a vanilla Greek yogurt with PB2 mixed in for some protein.

Have a great afternoon!

  • How do you get back on track after a day/weekend/week of unhealthy eating?
  • Did you workout today?
  • Favorite juice? I love orange juice!

Easter 2013

Good morning! It’s Monday and April! Happy April Fool’s Day!

Yesterday morning started bright and early with Jaden yelling out, “Happy Val– (pause) Happy Easter!” I’m not quite sure why he thought it was Valentine’s Day, but it was pretty funny!

The kids had a great time looking for all the eggs that the Easter bunny hid for them. Instead of Easter baskets, the bunny left giant eggs filled with treats and toys for the kids.

After all the fun was over, I started making brunch for our family that was coming over.

I made Cadbury Mini Egg Blondies - I followed this recipe, except I doubled the recipe. The bars came out very thick and I had to cook them for a long time. I kept thinking they were done, but they weren’t so I kept having to put them back in the oven. Next time, I won’t double the recipe or I’ll cook them a little less.

I also made cheesy potato casserole and the same cinnamon french toast casserole that I made for Christmas. Everything was so good. I just wish I would have made more because it was gone so fast!

We also had some fruit for something healthy :)

Jaden and I made these cute silverware holders out of napkins and ribbon.

After we visited with my family and in-laws for a while, we headed over to see my dad and stepmom.

Danny and I:

The kids had a fun Easter egg hunt outside.

There was tons of dessert, and I ate my fair share :)

My dad’s Under The Sea Easter Egg Scene:

We had a great day spending time with our family!

I glad that life is back to normal today and the kids are back to school! My eating was terrible over Spring Break and Easter, and I am glad to be back on track today. It’s nice to enjoy yourself once in a while , but I think I overenjoyed myself every single day.

With all the holiday craziness, I missed doing the plank on Saturday and Sunday, so I will be doing the plank for the next three days to make up for it!

Have a great day!
