Tough Mudders are Bad Ass! — A Memorial Day Post
I’m still all pumped up. The energy at the Tough Mudder event in SoCal was AMAZING! Tough Mudders are the most bad ass people I’ve ever seen, and I’m proud to say that my husband was among them. I watched the entire event with our kids while my husband and a couple of his friends more

It’s been a week since the last person assumed that I am pregnant because of my stubborn belly fat. I still can’t look at the Zumba instructor without wanting to snap her like a twig, but I am also PMSing, so that probably has something to do with my violent tendencies at the moment. It more
