Breakthrough – Early Rising
I actually have tears in my eyes. Thankfully, no one reads this blog, so there's no reason to be embarrassed. I got my first comment! I know it's from Laura, who runs Menu Plan Monday and comments on all first timers, but it's exciting! I really think I've had a breakthrough. I knew I needed to get up earlier than my kids.
