Intermittent Fasting I think I’m going to do it. I’m not a massive believer in diets or food restrictions but I’m also not a huge supporter of weight gain and sadness. We’ve all had A Year.

Today she told me she was coming to town and wanted to know if I would see her this weekend.

We are together a lot. My husband, 4 year old son and me. Even pre pandemic, we were probably together more than most. Unless my husband was traveling for work, we were existing under the same roof for incredibly long stretches of time. My son is at his grandparents for…
