Laura M says
These are all great; congratulations on paying a loan and let us know about you no sugar trimester!!!
Ashley says
Thank you! I needed the sugar detox after all of the Christmas treats, ha! Having it overlap with Lent will definitely keep me on track and I know I'll feel so much better in the long run.
LeahP says
I also started applying hand cream every night… it helps so much! I don’t care if this makes me an old lady!
Ashley says
Exactly! My hands are so dry and cracked this winter and the hand cream really helps. I'll wear the old lady title proudly, hah!
Shelly Cunningham says
Clean sheets, for sure!
And congrats on another student loan paid off!!
I'm an old lady with you- it must be all the dishes we do that require we moisturize our beat up hands!!
