Miz, I’ve lost 15 pounds & still have at least 30 more to go before I’m at goal.  I don’t want to be a skinny minnie so even that’s just an average weight for most people.  Lately I’ve had a friends start to notice my weight loss.

by

The young & the young-at-heart before the Disney Princess Half-Marathon Ive been thinking a lot lately about all we can learn from the little people in our lives. From eating to playing to friendship children have lots to teach us or, more aptly put, remind us of what we've forgotten we knew.
