One of my biggest challenges each day is time. Finding time. Time to get my kids to school. Time to make lunches. Time to get exercise. Time to get laundry done. Time to run errands. On the hierarchy of my to-do list for each day, running errands trails behind everything else. But, errands are very important. I...
