This past weekend was beautiful, somewhere in the 70’s, and sunny. A February day like this is just a small little blessing from heaven. My normal Saturday is typically the gym, grocery shopping, cleaning the house, starting the wash, and then making dinner to finally relax. I am sure this sounds familiar for many of… Read More
