Hello! How’s everyone’s day going? I started my day with an easy walk at the gym and some ab exercises.

I bought a fitbit as soon as… Continue reading Why I Stopped Wearing a Fitbit

Fun Food Find #1
I’m a sucker for a new product at grocery stores. I could aimlessly walk up and down the aisles for hours. When my husband and I moved in together, he quickly learned each week I’d be coming home with one random item that I just couldn’t say no to.
