No matter what day it is and no matter how bad of a day I’ve had, I know that I can come home and see my five-year-old and two-year-old have an absolute blast doing whatever it is we’re doing. We could be washing dishes, or washing my car, or picking up toys, or any number […]

They knew the exact exercise routine that would give them the most efficient return on investment. It just seemed like […]

You know those people that you’re probably friends with on Facebook and they seem to share every single little thing that they do, they think, and that they find on their wall?
