Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend and a great Mother’s Day! Now it’s time to get your week started…

Fun Fact: When someone tells you that you’re ‘sweating like a pig’, they’re straight-up lying to you because pigs can’t sweat. Pigs are born without sweat glands. There’s a reason why they roll around in the mud, it’s to cool off.
