My favorite part of Christmas is giving gifts. I love the reaction on people’s faces. I love the amount of time and thought I put into each gift. I rarely give a thoughtless gift and am troubled by it when I do. I come from a family of givers. Both of my parents have always … Continue reading
On Valentine’s Day my husband bought me the most beautiful roses and wrote me a love letter. It was the perfect gift.

That was a struggle. The roads were already icing and cars were already abandoned. I contemplated … Continue reading
I’m trying to remain optimistic as the bad luck continues to pour over us; however, this post is not about that. This post is about the little non-scale victories. The other day at work was a nightmare. Just a straight up nightmare. I was ecstatic to get to my car and GTFO. Well, y’all – … Continue reading
Y’all, since last Thursday it’s been hell for us. Let me explain… I came home from work on Thursday and thought the house smelled like crap. I attributed it to the cats using the litter box. Friday – same thing. Saturday morning I went to Target and bought all of the Febreze and bleach ever. … Continue reading
Y’all I just realized I haven’t done a recipe in a hot minute and for that I apologize. With out Polar Vortex here I’ve definitely been in the mood for some Comfort Food. I found this recipe a while ago in a Cooking Light and have slightly modified it to make it my own. It is … Continue reading
