Buahahaha! I was laughing my a** off at this one. I swear my husband and I must’ve had an exact moment like that cuddly couple on the couch when we decided to make the big leap to have a baby. Or something similar to that. I read a blog post the other day that… Continue reading Parenting: How we got suckered in
“Reading is my inhale, writing is my exhale” – Glennon Doyle Melton in “Carry On, Warrior” I wanted to revisit this quote again because of how much more it means to me now than it did the first time I read it.

I started a 21-Day Fix Extreme workout and I’m so proud of myself because I completed the first 7 days! One of our neighbors and my mommy friend is the Coach for this group and I’m so thankful that she invited me to join. The program is part of Shakeology but for now I’m… Continue reading Day 7
