The Weekend Mashup
This weekend went by way too fast. Friday the kids school had a field trip set up. We went as a family and had a great time at the zoo. So what it was over 90 degrees!? Apparently the lions are no longer at the zoo. My son is obsessed with all things lion. He […] Read more…

Mama’s Working Out
This is me, yesterday. I snapped this pic after my first workout since being 4 months pregnant with my daughter. At that time, my doctor told me to sit it down because it was too dangerous to keep working out because of how she was positioned. She will be a year old in two weeks […] Read more…
