To Fast or Not to Fast? Jun 12, 2019

 


 

 

Just to be clear, you already fast.

Every day.

School's Out! Changing Your Schedule is In. Jun 05, 2019

3 Tips for Road Trip Eating May 01, 2019

 


 

We just came back from a trip to the Grand Canyon.  Active, breathtaking and fun!

 

I love National Parks.

 

Such beauty and I feel a sense of community—this land is preserved by us (our government) to be enjoyed by all.  Love that.
