It’s been a few weeks now and I’m starting to feel a little more comfortable and safe in our environment. So, I feel like now would be a good time to confess a somewhat embarrassing fact about me… (deep breath) I blurt. I’m a blurter. When I say I blurt–I mean I blurt A LOT….

Sale on my favorite shirts!
JC Penney has a long sleeve t-shirt by A.N.A. that I absolutely LOVE! Any time they go on sale I buy one in every color. It’s the perfect balance of snug fit, but not too snug, they’re VERY comfortable, AND they’re long enough to cover the ole belly (heh, heh). They’re on sale for $7.60…
