Hello, hello!
How’s your Monday going so far? I didn’t turn on my computer all weekend, so I am definitely playing catch up today. I also have a doctor’s appointment later this afternoon (32-week check-up!), so I have my nose to the grindstone””work, work, working and getting my life in order for the week.
First order of business: A healthy breakfast! On the menu: French Toast Breakfast Scramble with almond butter and fruit salad.
