We are heading to the race expo today at Downtown Disney. We’re picking up all our official race items (i.e. […]

completing the 12 week workout program from Sweat With Kayla app. It’s hard BUT it works and I learned that consistency is the key in order to see results.

I had a rare 3 day weekend this past week. I love my job but I hate that the holidays we have off from work are the major holidays only. I can count in one hand our work holidays, sigh! I was already in celebration mood on Friday, we stopped by the donut shop to […]

“What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more” – Dr. Seuss I have kept that quote in my head this holiday season. I normally make a Christmas wishlist, a list I make in my head. It helps me answer the questions I get from […]
