A Little Sappiness
“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” -Jim Rohn Women’s Health posted that quote earlier today and it got me thinking about my besties. So now I give you a sappy post about how wonderful they are. We enjoy a lot of the same things…running, rea[...]
A little taste of mommyhood
I got a little taste of what it might be like to be a working mom this week. I took two “half-days” to spend time with one of my favorite little people in the entire world. While we played on the playground, colored, blew bubbles, and watched Super Why (I can’t figure this show out[...]
