We had our cleaner come this morning *lord thank heavens!!* cuz our house was SO dirty. I usually like to clean and its sort of a release for me but I've been so physically tired from zumba and working out myself that I asked T for some help. He happily obliged- yippee!! We have a clean house again :)

Throwback zumba song of the day: Daddy Yankee "Gasolina".. okay so this isn't really a zumba song but I'm learning some really simple choreography for my class. :-)
