Sites such as elephants roaming the roadways: And families squooshed […] Read more…

I luckily got to see this movie last night. Yes, go see it! It’s a great movie and shouldn’t be missed. The action starts right at the get-go and continues throughout the whole show.

UPDATED: Wednesday April 13th to include my movie review at the bottom of this post after the movie description.

Recently, Martha Stewart re-posted a link from Pop Sugar Moms on Facebook about Good Morning Habits. The article spoke about how some people are “active” morning people and some are calm and “languid” morning people. I fall into the “calm” morning person category. In fact, a prominent part of my morning includes breathing exercises and a morning […] Read more…

From experience, I […] Read more…
