Just call me Cinderella

Just call me Cinderella

Wait, that was many feet, one pair of shoes. So, maybe Goldilocks.  But that only took her three tries. Crap, I'm not up on my fairy tales.  What can I say, I'm the mom of two boys - all I hear about are legos and ninjas LOL.

A slightly obnoxious mom and wife who loves good beer and running, who struggles a bit with depression especially in the winter and when running isn’t allowed, who’d rather go on a fun vacation than upgrade the kitchen or add a master bath, and has a minor addiction to the Marine Corps Marathon.
