We know that the New Year inspires us to start new, healthy habits, but as busy moms, it can be hard to figure out how and when to do it all. There are so many awesome exercise classes right here in our backyard in Howard County. And let’s face it, it can sound nice to step out of the house for an hour or two of “me” time in the form of a feel-good workout.
