Holiday recap š

Didnāt train as much as we aimed to, but still averaged around 15k steps a day, which is way higher than normal.

And then there was the other thing I couldnāt help noticingā¦

And if your kid is being a bit lippyā¦
Maybe listen to how you speak to people too.
Your kids are watching what you do far more than theyāre listening to what you say.
