Exercise, strong & support defined (Tornado video post).

by

Last week MrsFatass & I announced our plan to interview the little people around us & see what they had to say. More precisely how they would define for us (the royal us as my girl definitely grasped her video was going up on MizFit) the words exercise, strong & support. Without further adult yammerings I give you the Tornado. Defining the word exercise: Defining the ... Continue Reading

(there's a video above if youre reading via google reader) One of my fondest mamahood memories is the first afternoon (we've now done it a few times) my daughter & I climbed upon the Operation Beautiful bandwagon.
