How to Burn Calories Around the House

Many New Years Resolutions have weight loss of one sort or another on the list. I know my list does.  I am still battling this bug, and don’t want to work out yet.   So, I got to thinking, there are other ways to loose weight.  I am a multi-tasker by nature!  You can burn calories doing everyday household chores, playing with the kids, and I am sure doing it with a little one on your hip burns even more. LOL
