Weekend Recap: Friday night- Asher had swim practice from 6:20-7:35, so I drove him to that. After, Ivan and I went out for our pretty typical Friday night date night, to his friend's Mexican restaurant.

Monday Motivation: Own your story

We rented âLittle Womenâ- Iâd been wanting to see it for a long time, the one that came out at the end of 2019.Side note: I think I… Continue reading Monday Motivation: Own your story
