We’ve had a pretty full week to close out the month of June. My parents are in town, which means there are lots of get-togethers for dinner, and nights run later than we’re used to. It’s so much fun, but I notice the little bumps in the road when I get disconnected from my routines and systems. I’m writing this morning from the couch in my parents’ house. We stayed over last night, and the kids are still sleeping upstairs.
Here’s what I’ve been reading and enjoying this week:
Nutrition/Health/Body
