Hi, my loyal followers,
I am sorry there have not been posts this week. I feel so overwhelmed and busy that I feel I need to take a few weeks off from blogging and refocus. I thought I would have time to get the posts ready but the days sped right by and all of a sudden there were no posts.
The past few weeks have been busy and hectic with transitioning from our winter home to our summer home. We are heading to Virginia to spend time with the family. So for the next few weeks, I feel I need to concentrate on spending time with the kids (our niece and nephew) and my mom. I cannot wait to take them places, play sports with them, and just hear them play and laugh.
I will try to continue with the daily inspirations because I love posting them, and I hope you enjoy reading them. If I get a chance I will write a blog post, do a workout, or a recipe. If you need a recipe or workout idea, please feel free to email me, and I will create one for you!
Also, be on the lookout for a newsletter. August 8th is coming up soon and InspiredAndStrong will be ONE year old! I’d like to get your feedback on how you like things so far and how I can improve my blog to meet your needs.
Thank you for following me and for living this crazy, busy life alongside me! Here’s to many summer adventures! Enjoy!
