December 27, 2011

Happy holidays everyone! I’m so grateful to have had today off of work, because I desperately needed it. We stayed the night with my parents on Christmas Eve, and we may not have actual babies, but our fur babies do a good job of waking us up at the break of dawn due to the [...]

Tweet This week I will be doing yoga every day! And for the rest of this month, actually! I’ve made a decision that one of the things that my life has been missing lately is regular yoga. Like, every day. Both as a physical and mental workout. So I will be doing as much yoga [...]
