A Note From the Publisher-January 30, 2020

By Mary Monahan January 30, 2020

Who else went sledding this past week? 

On Saturday, a neighbor convinced me to take my kids to Southeast High School to sled. He must be in way better shape than me because the hill at Southeast is more like a mountain. I got a better workout hiking up that hill than I have at the gym in the past month. In one hour my four year old son and I only climbed it six times. On the last climb up, he sat down at the top and said, "Mom, maybe we just sit." The climb was definitely worth flying down it though. My daughters loved it and want to go back (I may send their dad next time).

On Sunday, I was struggling to even walk up the stairs after my "sledding workout" so we took the sledding easier by going to Rousseau Elementary. The sun came out and it felt amazing. I ended up laying on the sidewalk in all my winter gear while the kids went sledding. My face was tilted to the sun. I looked crazy but I needed the vitamin D. I'm looking forward to the tropical temps that are predicted for this weekend!

Enjoy the warmer weather,
