Welcome to Aurora Macaroni Kid!

A letter from the Publisher

There is something special about kids and their dog. Ever since we got Max, my kids have loved him absolutely unconditionally, even as me and my husband got frustrated at his puppy antics. I thought that I was training my dog, but the more I watch them, I think that it is really the kids that are training him. He has become more gentle, less antsy, more calm and more easy going. I love to watch my youngest play tug of war with him. He holds on to his end ...

Getting down to the ugly reality of it

Nutrisystem Nation Week 7

Very few things in this world are one hundred percent perfectly rosy. Especially in the world of diets. I LOVE the Nutrisystem program. And I feel very positive that this may finally be what keeps me from uping my “goal weight.”
