This past weekend I surprised my husband with a Staycation. He had been (not so) secretly dreading the idea of driving somewhere far for a weekend getaway so when I finally let him in on the secret he was SO relieved. There were three main rules we had to follow while on the Staycation. No… Continue reading Staycation

Tax Day
TAX SEASON IS OFFICIALLY OVER! (Not really, but kind of) Either way you have no idea how excited I am that I can finally say that. Saying the past few months have been hard would be an understatement. We literally moved into our new house and then got thrown into full blown tax season. For… Continue reading Tax Day
Insecurities
We all have flaws. We all have insecurities and demons that present themselves in our lives and while some peoples may be louder than others, we all have them. Everyone has something they don’t necessarily love about themselves, maybe something they try to hide or cover up. Maybe it’s something that is completely unfounded, no… Continue reading Insecurities

Our goal was to get everything out of storage and into the house… Continue reading Moving Day

It’s Pie Season!
It's that time of year again where you get to participate in the best type of marathon. The marathon of eating! Of course a much harder marathon comes first though. The marathon of cooking. (Ugh) Pies, turkey, stuffing, and about a million different casserole dishes are all combined to make the biggest meal of the… Continue reading It’s Pie Season!
Eating my way through Raleigh
