smiling I always thought smiling was the "thing to do" for my dd. But I recently watched worlds and no one smiled. They are concentrating so hard. The one I noticed the most is Rebecca Bross. Love her! but she never smiles. So does it really matter? maybe in the lower levels. As you get higher...

My husband made a beam for my dd a long time ago. He used a very good 4 X 4. For the legs he used metal plumping parts because you can get them in "t" form, and works great for the legs. etc. It was about 12 inches from the ground. We covered it with indoor carpet, the type that you would use in...

To addictedtogym ~ You are not overweight! My dd just turned 12. She is only 4' 10 and weighs 100 lbs. She is really proud because she knows that muscle weighs more. She is fit, healthy and eats very good food. Be proud of you!

I was wondering if you ever ran across a website for soy flour? My local health food store does not carry it. My daughter is allergic to wheat, so whole grain and wheat products are out for us.
