We’re all guilty of it. We’re at the pool or beach and finally relaxing. Our kids are playing – everyone’s happy and then there we are – back on our phones. Aimlessly scrolling through FB from the pristine white beaches instead of watching our children play in the water. Or even being present. It’s not to make you feel bad, it’s just a sad truth that even myself fall into…. Keep Reading

Swimming. Is it something we take for granted? We consider lake and beach trips vacations, love to spend time and money on luxury items like boating, fishing and even our own backyard pools.
