Four physical therapy appointments down; six to go! Ever since my official IT Band Syndrome diagnosis, I’ve been going to PT about twice a week.

When your kitchen is stocked with the basics, cooking is so much easier. I see some people’s pantries, and I honestly don’t know how they live.

10 Ways to Make Your House Feel Like a Home
