If you were reading my blog this time last year, doesn’t it seem impossible that a year has gone by already?

Weighing in at about 10 pounds and with her super bald head, many people think little everydayBaby is still a newborn. But our 10-week-old is ready to get mobile. She has been doing her workouts faithfully, and we’re predicting she could be rolling over in a few weeks. Here she is in training. Roll right:…
*This is part 2 of my post on Success.* I tend to be an all-or-nothing person. And this quality can be both good and bad. If I make the decision to do something, I want to give it my all. I want to really invest the time and energy that is necessary to make it…
