Today’s post is for those whose spouses love language is touch–rub his feet after a long, hard day. It can be as simple as an impromptu foot rub while watching a movie or you could plan to get him a beer, soak his feet & rub them with a nice massage oil or lotion. Take […] Read more…
Airports, Streetcars & Beignets, Oh My! {Get Healthy & Fit}
Seriously, I almost forgot to weigh myself again. My week is going to be so incredibly busy, especially since I have TWO WEEKS of laundry to do. We are also getting back into school after being out of the swing of things for two weeks and adding history in. Since I was out of […] Read more…
