I am inspired to write about the Moms at my Hit. With it being Mother’s Day weekend, I feel the need to praise them for all they do. Not only do many work full time jobs they also cook, clean, shop, organize their families and mend the boo-boos; they also take time for themselves to… Read More »
I hate stretching. Okay, I don’t hate it. Well, not like I hate racism and processed food. It’s just not on my ‘go to’ list of things to do.
