@antnf8900 That is good to know! I will try and pick it up again someday... Maybe when the kids are less demanding haha.

@antnf8900 I just wanted to say I think all knitters are awesome and I am jealous of their skills. I've tried a few times to learn to knit but never quite got the hang of it. I spend my limited free time mostly reading books that interest me and I listen to podcasts while I clean. You could...

@12grace12 Going great! I've been counting calories and experimenting with intermittent fasting and I'm down 5 pounds! I'm also really enjoying jogging around my neighborhood every day and trying to make it a habit. I have a baby bucket list goal of running a marathon. It's a lofty goal, but I...
