So this is what lazy has done to my goals….

Forks Over Knives Berry Pie
Today gloom set in again in Scappoose and our plans to go to the beach were cancelled.

The Gym
Let me start by saying, if I had more time and money I would love to go to the gym. However, it is just the four of us and we are living on loans so a gym with childcare is not in our budget. Also, after being at school for 8-9 hours everyday I can’t … Continue reading »
