On the first day of Christmas, my trainer gave to meeeeee… a set of 10 sumo burpees. 😉 Hi friends! How’s the morning treating you? It’s been chilly and blustery over here.

Any fun plans this weekend?   It has been a week over here -we switched meds for P, who had a very rough couple of days- so needless to say, I’m really looking forward to having the Pilot around for backup (and adult non-goo-goo-ga-ga conversation)… and my Saturday…

2015 Holiday Gift Guide: for the kids

I LOVE shopping for kids, even though I’ve mentioned before that Livi is a little tougher to shop for. The little lady rarely tells us she wants anything.
