This time around I have 5 years so I can think big and think small with this 40 Before Forty.

The first half of my 30s, my body was dedicated to my daughters. I was an incubator then a food source and really I want my body back. You'll see a theme that this second half is all about taking care of ME, as well as, building memories with my family. Go on an adults only vacation. DONE! My bestie Allie and I went to Savannah as ... Continue Reading...
