Mothers don't get enough credit. I'm sure my mom has a smirk on her face while reading this, but it's true. They worry (a lot) about their kids who they have carried on their backs for so long and have to watch drift away. They want so much to hold on for just a little … Continue reading This Is For You, Mom

We’re already on Day 5 of #countdownwithheyujas. Time is flying by. Day 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all here. I know I promised holiday themed posts, but this one still classifies. The holiday season starts in November, so I justify this, and I really wanted to share. At the beginning of November, I participated … Continue reading My First Big Race
