Running with the fam

Something about summer makes me want to run. Itโ€™s kind of funny because itโ€™s the warmest season, and if you want to get in a distance run it usually has to be early in the morning or late and night. I LOVE the warm sun, smell of sunscreen, and knowing where every water fountain is…

This is where I cry about how time has gone too quickly.  I feel like with both girls, each age is my very favorite. (Ok, except maybe mid-threes. Those tantrums were rough haha. Thankfully thatโ€™s just a small memory of the past.) Now that weโ€™re past all of the reflux terror, Iโ€™ve been able to really…
