After a week off from work it’s back to reality today. The past 7 days were such a great refresher and we the perfect mix of production around the house and fun family time. We also took family pictures on Saturday morning and Lavinia was …
I can’t believe that Week 16 of my training for CIM is behind me! It was my last week of full on training before the taper started today. I was a little nervous that this week happened to fall at the same time that I …
