I\’m going to get a little candid this week, because truthfully, it was a mentally challenging week for me. First, it was the week back after a long vacation, and we all know how rough going back to reality can be. Second, less than 12 hours after we returned from our vacation, Dan had to […]

This week I’d like to talk some more about my week in Memphis, but from a different angle. Everyone reading this knows exercise is super important to me. Not a secret! I make it a habit to do SOMETHING everyday, even if it’s just going for a walk. So leading up to our week in

First of all, I\’d like to sincerely apologize for jinxing the weather this week by writing about how nice it was last week. It looks like I may be the sole reason winter is back – my bad y\’all! Hopefully Mother Nature finds her cool here pretty soon. Anyway, I\’d like to talk about healthy
