Get ready for it. The closer you get to menopause the harder it is to keep the weight off. That was about the age I started getting hormonal migraines. It went from once or twice a year to 3 or 4 days a month now.

Hello Precious Kitties!!! Good Morning Lauren!!! Love your routine and how thoughtful you are with providing special details according to the season and your children’s preferences in their meals and the things they like to do!!! I would love to be as routine as you are! I listen to easy listening, 70s, jazz and sometimes classical music as well!!! My Week is up and down … I watch my little cousins for a few day the first part of the week from 5 am til about 3! They are 3 yrs old and 5 months! Love them and enjoy keeping busy with them! My Husband and I are retired and enjoying Life! We have a 17 year old Son that enjoyed to meeting up with his Best Friend at the gym and because our Son has not completed his drivers education as of yet … Hubby drives him to the gym to meet up with his Best Friend for a few hours almost everyday after school! Usually on Thursday and Friday I try to get out of the house … running errands, shopping, sight seeing all with Hubby! He is like my Chauffeur! Tee hee. Weekends are usually quiet and and relaxing! Sundays are for the boys to play … going to guns shows and air-soft games with other people that like to playing war games! Tee hee. It’s a big thing here! So Sundays are usually so quiet and peaceful and just me and my Fur Baby DC either cleaning, straightening up, washing clothes, and Love Love Love watching old music on the TCM Channel!!! I so enjoy watching your Vlogs every week! You are truly amazing and an inspiration to me to do more for my Family! Thank you!!! Xoxo Jacqueline from Texas

I’m not trying to be rude but if kids are sick why don’t parents keep there kids home? Especially if they are able to ? And then go to the gym with a sore throat? Again just want to ask not throwing shade. This is just hard for me to comprehend, why purposefully spread sickness ?

[@jennysnook]

I wondered too 😕

[@Judykag]

People don’t stay home or keep kids home anymore. I guess they have forgotten about Covid and flu. Everyone just says o it’s allergies or o it’s a cold. Is it?

[@dianelambert8281]

I’m not saying this rude either. Hear my tone in a very soft tone ok. We clean gym equipment or we are supposed to. She just had a lol bit of a sore throat. I don’t think that warrants quarantine. If we just stopped and stayed on all the time we would not build up a fighting immune system. Exposure to a lil stress is good. You build. (Excluding people with immune problems) but keep going. If you have kids, you are exposed everyday to lots of germs from being at school.

HAPPY THURSDAY Lauren, family, and all the fur babies. Our PCP is a General Prac and a Toxicologist. He tells us do not take vitamins unless it is medically necessary, due to, you can overdose on different Vitamins in your body and it can cause major issues. For some reason, I can't tolerate vitamins, prob because I do not need them. He does tell me to take Vitamin D and I can only tolerate a little at a time, take a break, then start again, etc. THANKS FOR SHARING LAUREN. Enjoy your day! STTB
