I did so again the following year, with my Rewind 2012. Ever since I did this writing exercise those two years, […]

Yeah, I still watch Grey’s Anatomy. I caught up on last Thursday’s episode this morning, watching via an app on my phone, while getting things done around the house.

It’s my word for today. Really, it should be my word for this year. It’s the thing I struggle with most as a parent. It’s also something that I need to focus on more in other areas of my life. From keeping our home clean and organized to my work as a health and fitness coach, […]
