I am so glad today is Friday! Don't get me wrong, I'm happy when every Friday rolls around, but I am especially happy this week is coming to an end. I've had several misadventures that I can [mostly] laugh at but I am ready to put them behind me. The week technically starts on Sunday right? If you're following an Excel week at least and since I live in Excel at work, I'm going to go with the theory that my week started on Sunday. So, on Sunday I was mowing our yard (yes, girls can mow too!) … Continue Reading about My Week of Misadventures

A 30th Birthday Celebration
My husband, Chris, turned 30 a few weeks ago and I can't believe it! I remember when we first met (read our story here) 30 seemed like light years away. But somehow time has passed and here we are! Since 30 is such a big birthday, I wanted to plan a fun outing to celebrate. I tossed around a few ideas and eventually decided an Escape Room would be perfect!

I'm here to tell you that it is not complicated and it doesn't have to take all day. I'm not an expert, but I have found some time-saving tricks over the years and I'm going to share them … Continue Reading about Meal Prep Time Saving Tips
Five Confessions of a Crazy Dog Mom
I have to start off by saying that I am and have always been a total dog lover. I have been obsessed with dogs for as long as I can remember. When I was old enough to pick out my own bedroom comforter, I searched high and low to find one with dogs on it. And I did eventually find one. It was tan and red plaid with various breeds of dogs on it. I wish I had a picture. I bet you all wish I had a picture too so you can see the beauty for yourselves. I sure loved that comforter. When Chris and I … Continue Reading about Five Confessions of a Crazy Dog Mom
An Apple Snob and Spiced Apple Muffins
For years I have called my husband an "apple snob". Seriously, he is the pickiest person when it comes to apples. They must be absolutely perfect. No blemishes whatsoever. I do all of the grocery shopping in our family and I can't tell you how many times I have threatened to "forget" to pick up apples because the ones I brought home weren't up to par. I get self conscious in the apple aisle at the store because I spend so much time at the Honeycrisp bin inspecting apples. I swear everyone in the … Continue Reading about An Apple Snob and Spiced Apple Muffins
