No longer do we need to take turns or throw out our backs scooting about the neighborhood, because the K8 gives me my own lightweight and foldable scooter with adult-sized adjustments that has all the bells and whistles that I could have ever asked for.

Add spirit to your breakfast with this amazing DIY waffle bar

Spirit breakfast

Our weekday mornings can get pretty crazy. So, to keep things running smoothly, I created a breakfast schedule with the help of the kiddos to keep everyone happy.
