I have always been a fan of Jillian Michaels. Click here to read her opinion piece. She makes some valid points.
On Facebook, she recently posted: "Check out this piece I wrote on the new food plate... Look out... I get pretty fired up."

Thank you Mommy
5/19/11
I tucked Emily into bed. She told me about the fun things she did throughout the day, such as: playing outside, watching mommy kill a black widow, finding a roly-poly, having a snack, and watching a cooking show with Ethan. We prayed together. She had one last sip of water from her favorite princess sippy cup. I kissed her goodnight. Then, as I was leaving the room she said: "Thank you mommy for water...milk. Thank you for changing Emmy's diaper."
My heart melted. It took me back two years -- when Ethan was the same age, he also thanked me for changing his diaper. It's a breath of fresh air to hear kind words come out of my children's mouths, especially thanking me for a job that's not always pleasant.
Parents: Just remember, every single time you change a diaper, you are expressing an act of love. When your child is old enough to speak, they will eventually thank you for it. I thanked my mom for changing mine. :)

Emily is TWO!
On this day two years ago, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. It was love at first sight. Her sweet smile, tiny fingers and toes, soft skin, almond-shaped eyes, and golden brown hair were perfect in every way. She took my breath away.
Emily Grace was the missing piece to the puzzle – she completed our family of four. It’s hard to believe she has only been a part of our lives for two AMAZING years! We thank God for blessing us and entrusting us with her precious life.
Here are a few photos of her playing outside today on her special day...
