Last week's post mentioned that our vacation included a ski trip with our friends out in Colorado. For most people, a trip out West to ski picture-perfect trails coated in fresh powder would not induce anxiety. But for me, it did. This trip was the first time I had a been on a mountain in FOUR years. …
We were on a break
Well, I was on a break from technology and social media over the past two weeks. For the first time since last June my husband and I had a vacation together. We got to spend time with friends and family and visit the beauty that Colorado and California has to offer. It was a well …
Partner Workout
It is incredibly rare that my husband and I have several hours in a day to spend together. Normally we have two to three hours in the evening right before bed where we scarf down some food and watch a show. But before we know it our eyelids get too heavy for us and we …
