N things of the week – #15
I have exciting news this week! We have a contract on a house and are planning on moving in two or three weeks!! I love the house and the area that it’s in is gorgeous. And it comes with a playground for the little guy! It is basically my dream home. It’s in the forest […]
N things of the week – #14
The last week has been filled with lots of great stuff for me! Here’s a few of the highlights. Going to the gym (almost) daily I have been going to the gym pretty much every day for the last two weeks. I’d gotten in a slump about it in December because I was sick for […]
