Update on Kylie’s Back Pains

For about two and a half weeks now, Kylie (my 11 year old) has been having tremendous neck pain and back pain.  She can't remember a definitive starting point, but she does know - all too well - that she's having trouble sleeping, sitting, standing, doing school work, laying, watching a movie, swimming, walking, riding in a car, and so on and so forth.

You know what's even better?  FREE.  Yes, FREE.  Free is fab! This summer…

You know it's going to be a FABULOUS day when a married woman with three kids can wake up and - shave her legs!  Yes, you got it, I shaved my legs this morning!

I vow to have the best possible day today.  Yesterday is the past, and today, I focus on me. I hope you all will join with me…
