And just like that, summer is over. Anyone else feel as though it absolutely flew by? Today is the first day back at school, and I’m feeling ok about it. Last year I remember having horrible anxiety. My husband was comforting me in bed as tears were streaming down my cheeks. I was so nervous… Continue reading Back to School

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