Ever since my brother and I were little, we always enjoyed our little trips to the "dollar store." Most of the time going meant that we had been well-behaved and were allowed to pick a reward. Years later, it would become one of my regular stops for essentials, and you will be amazed at the quality items I find here. My mom is known for having laundry that smells amazing. I was convinced that she spent tons of money on expensive detergents and fabric softeners. To my surprise, it is the ... VIEW POST

A Review of Magnolia Table Cookbook by Joanna Gaines
Those who know me know that I am a HUGE fan of Fixer Upper. So, it was no surprise when I ended up purchasing the Magnolia Table Cookbook the moment it came out. I come from a long line of excellent cooks; my mom even does "old timey"-type recipes like bully cakes and corn fritters (those are not typos folks). I won't lie; as I watch Fixer Upper, I get a little envious of those who sit in the Gaines' home, as Joanna goes over floor plans and paint schemes over chocolate chip cookies and homemade ...

At-Home Cold Brew, Flowers, and the Amazon Item You Need
This post is going to be a little all over the place because that's where I am right now...lol! It's summer and I am finally checking off all of those items left unchecked for so long! As I sit here writing this, I am bundled up in a cozy sweatshirt. I am a bit sunburned from the past two days, anxiously awaiting it to turn to tan! Aruba aloe gel and lotion are great for assisting with that. I bought them while in Aruba, but you can order them online here. We worked outside all day and I finally ... VIEW POST
Is the FabFitFun Box Really as Glamorous as it Appears on Instagram?!
You've seen them. You know, when you're scrolling through your Insta and a colorful photo of a glowing celebrity appears holding a rather large box stuffed full of items that make you envious? You're tempted to click the link for more info, but then you're like, "nah, I probably shouldn't spend the money" or "mine will probably never have all of those amazing items." So, of course, I tried it. I'm sure you're not surprised. I received an offer to try the $49.99 subscription box for $10 off. You ... VIEW POST
On the Other Side of Love
Love comes in all forms, all shapes and sizes, different colors, and through different circumstances. Love can be plain and simple or complicated and misunderstood. You can love your family, significant others, your friends, and your pets. You can still love those who passed on or those who are growing in the womb, but what about the love of someone who isn't here yet? Ask a woman struggling with infertility who she loves and she will name the obvious, but under her breath, she will whisper her ... VIEW POST
Copycat Panera Bread Cookie Recipe for One
I know, I know. "New Year, New You." You're hitting the gym, you're cutting back on cals. I totally get it. But we all need a little something sweet sometimes, right? I try to keep sweets out of my house. If they're not there, I can't eat them! I've been successful over the last few months at not buying Oreos and junk food. But here's the thing-- I can't deprive myself of the things I love entirely. And it's OK to reward yourself every so often with a sweet treat! I love baking, but ... VIEW POST
