Listen up, mamas...this year I need for you to do more for yourself. Yes, I know you're looking at this post like, "She doesn't know me. She doesn't know my life." You're right, I don't. But I do know...

I admit that I have never been one to make a New Year’s Resolution each year. To be honest, I have always thought them to be a bit over-rated or filled with too much pressure. Maybe I have always...
