Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!  We did!  Now it’s on to making 2013 amazing!!

I shared something on Facebook this morning that I would like to share here with all of you. “Good morning everyone! I just wanted to share something this morning. I know we all hugged our kids a little longer or didn’t want to send them to school at all this morning. I’m right there with […]

So it all started one morning my hubby asks me if I want to do a 5k Mud Run.  I look at him like he’s NUTS!!  First off, I’m a little out of shape.  Second of all, MUD…really??!!  I told him I’d have to pass.  My son, however, rose to the challenge!  I wasn’t going […]
