Explaining a significant hiatus

It has been a while since my head was clear enough to write anything here. Long story very short, I have a new job, closer to home, and am spending twice as much time with the kids. No more nannies. No more getting home after bed time. I’m doing work that I love, locally. I

Hello, Beautiful

As someone with 40ish pounds to drop, I should probably invest in a pair of shoes for exercising. My husband purchased my last pair of tennis shoes for me before my daughter was born, 5 years ago. I recently was told that you should replace your shoes every 6 months. I am so behind the
