This last weekend teaser of 80 degree springtime weather? Holy nuts and bolts. We’re screwed.  Or if anyone else’s upper lip is perspiring just thinking about this past weekend then you are not alone.

Ugh sometimes I am just the WORST. And recently the worst being my time management. But me and the baby child have been super under the weather.  In which case, time literally moves at a snails pace.
