Happy Tuesday and Happy “return to our family routine” day. No snow in the forecast for today so the family will start back into the swing of things. I love my kids and being able to be around them but there is really something to allowing some grown up time daily that I now appreciate more than ever.

I was so excited that I stopped doing them to share the news but then remembered that I was in the middle of my round and continued on! It’s just proof that you never stop growing…

Here’s an example of a Platinum Sit-up or aka Sit Up to Stand:
