#MotivationalMondays- Fill In The Blanks With Planks
Do you remember that fill in the blank game called Mad Libs? You know, the one where you try and make the story up yourself by inserting your own verbs, nouns, and adjectives? I still own several blank Mad Libs … Continue reading

It’s 9AM. I’m barely awake, stumbling to shut off my fifth snooze alarm, and my bladder is about to burst. Just as I’m peeing, I notice that bottomless growl coming from my stomach. Yes, it is indeed time for a … Continue reading
