The infamous 10 year class reunion. I got the Facebook invitation a few months ago, and truly, I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. I mean, I’ve moved on with life, right? So is this really a priority? I’m not one who’s stayed around the small town in which I grew up. Life took me elsewhere. Besides, I know how to reach almost… Read more

Budget constraints, reduced time out of the house, the demands of little children, and outright laziness have all been convenient reasons to live the t-shirt and yoga pants life.
