For today’s post, I interviewed a very interesting gentleman, who drives with Uber in addition to his very important day job. This really got me thinking about Uber driver- partners I’ve rode with before… What is their story? Even though I am not always the chattiest when I am riding with Uber, this kind of got me thinking that maybe I should be! Enjoy! What is your day job? I’m…
My cup overfloweth. This past weekend, Anna and I hosted our FIFTH annual cookie exchange. If you’re interested in hosting your own, I wrote a step-by-step guide here. The gathering went as normal. We had gluhwein, we had cheese-filled appetizers, we chatted, we laughed, we ate cookies, we voted.. And it was such a great afternoon. We have this down to a science, that I don’t even stress about it…
I mentioned before that there are plenty of non-material gifts out there if you’re really on a tight budget this year. However, let’s be real here, there are some people in your life whose love language is gifts, and would be disappointed if they did not receive something material from you. Here I’ll go through some great gift ideas that are super budget-friendly and are things that people will genuinely…
Have I mentioned I love Christmas? One thing I don’t love about it, however, is how so many people break the bank with presents and decorating. While I certainly understand the temptation, there is indeed a way to do decor on the cheap from shopping at the Dollar Tree. I’ll note that this post is not sponsored, so I’ll be brutally honest as to what is worth buying and what…
It’s no secret that I love all things holidays. While Christmas is the obvious favorite, I love celebrations throughout the year. One thing I don’t love about this time of year, however, is the frozen tundra the outside has become. Seriously, I went to take the dogs out and literally blew the screen door off. It’s was not pleasant. So, to soften the blow (pun intended), I like to have…
I remember asking my parents for an Instant Pot last year. I liked the idea of the Crock-Pot brand Instant Pot because, well, I love my Crock Pot and have strong brand allegiance. I heard amazing things about them and, as a busy girl who loves home-cooked food, thought Instant Pot and I would be good friends Then, not even 24 hours after meeting Mr. Crock Pot Instant Pot did…
‘Tis the season to shop and show everyone you know how much you love them. Less than a month from today, you will steal the morning with the nicest, most expensive and impressive gift ever and pay for it until March. Right? Maybe in days past, but not this year. This year, you can still show friends and family how much you love them without sending yourself in to debt.…
Happy Thanksgiving, friends! I’m spending the morning with my main squeeze and having a big, fancy breakfast. I made cinnamon rolls from scratch, and will make some other main course goodies. This evening, I’m off to a huge Thanksgiving dinner with some of the dearest friends. As always, I like to take some time on this year’s blessings. I’m in a very different situation than I thought I would be…
How’s that for a long title? Happy Thanksgiving week, friends! Between now and Christmas, as crazy as it sounds, I promise to post every week day! That’s right! I’m back. OK, on to the post… For as much as I love the convenience of Amazon, I am not one to pay extra for shipping, etc., when a trip to Target is only mildly inconvenient.. Plus, let’s be real, I love…
Today’s brilliant post is from my guest blogger, Lexi Carr. You’ll see really quickly that she’s a great writer with some awesome tips that I fully intend on implementing myself! Enjoy! I don’t know about you, but the end of summer crept up on me this year. With the onset of fall, my mind is on autumn leaves, pumpkin-flavored everything, nights by the fire, chunky sweaters, and the…
