Raising Children to Weather the Storm
I’ve never been a high maintenance type of chick. I didn’t rock the hottest trends because we couldn’t afford it growing up, and I was okay with that. As a former athlete, my main concern was keeping my grades up so that I wouldn’t get kicked off the team. I really didn’t put too much effort…
I’ve been contemplating signing up for a 10k run. But every time I decided to commit, something stops me. A co-worker convinced me to register for a 5k about five years ago.
