Relaxing with Exhale by Plumb

Special thanks to Fly Propeller for providing a review copy of this album. This post may contain affiliate links. Music is such a personal thing. Sometimes an album or a song just clicks with you while it is just okay for others. At other times, an album or song that never really meant much holds meaning because of what you are going through in your own life. Because of this, I always find it difficult to review music.

Recently, I heard about a twist on regular fruit leather – yogurt fruit leather. It sounded like a snack that I’d really enjoy.

High school graduation is such a milestone event in a child’s life. As a parent, you want to find a gift that marks the occasion in a special way.

You know that when you’re giving a gift for a big occasion, you also want the packaging to be just so. Well, maybe that’s just me. lol!

Fitness Friday: 21 Day Fix Week 3

Posted in Fitness

Week 3 is in the books. It’s hard to believe that I’ve actually made it through the entire 21 Day Fix program. While I’m still not able to do the entire program without some modification, I am definitely in better shape and feeling stronger. I’ve decided that I’m going to do another session as my new goal is to be able to make it through the complete program without modification.
