The 52 Weeks
This blog was created by two friends who made a pledge to try something new, fun, challenging, or even ridiculous every week for a year. At times, life got in the way, but we forged ahead. Our stories have educated, entertained or inspired many. We hope to inspire many others to get better, get moving or get over it!

It’s not easy being a mother. If it were easy, fathers would do it.” — The Golden Girls The years go by so fast. Mother’s Day was always, rightfully so, about my mom.
