  3. If I don't run, it is hard for me to hit that 10k steps on my watch!! And I rarely sit! But, I get close. Ha, ha. Wow, the July 4th photo looks fun! What a big group. I struggle with posting reels too, I was thinking I did none this month, but then I remembered I did one for the KitNipBox!

    1. It really is hard to hit 10K if you don't go for a walk or a run! I can clean house all day and not hit 10K which is crazy! Glad you were able to get a Reel up! I hate making them, but I always love the end result!
