Weekend Recap [10/15] & #POWERMONDAYMOVES Challenge!

November 18, 2013 By Kasey 9 Comments

Hi all! Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I have to say, I took a little blog break over the weekend to spend time with the boy & his family since it’s been about a month since I saw him due to being a busy traveling girl! It’s so nice to have his support through everything I do. He lives about an hour and a half away from me and he’s finishing up grad school right now so whenever we can plan a weekend – we really try to disconnect for a little from our phones & computers – which I think is totally a part of a healthy mind! With that being said – doesn’t mean I … [Read more...]
