  Hi friends! Man, oh man, it’s been a while! I don’t know about all of you, but life has been CRAZY the last few months!  I’m so sorry for being M.I.A for a so long, I was going through my 200-hour Power Yoga Teacher Training!  It was 3 months of basically nothing but yoga (and work).  I finished my training 2 weeks before Christmas, and then was fully immersed in the holidays, and then launched back into an additional 5… Read more »

Happy Day 3 of DIY gifts! Today’s gift could not be any easier to make and will most likely be something they will receive from anyone else.  Pure vanilla is pretty expensive…especially when you double the vanilla in pretty much every recipe like I do.  Making your own vanilla isn’t a whole lot cheaper, but it does taste a lot better!  The other perk is it takes very little work to make, but on the downside, it does require a… Read more »

Hiya friends! I hope you guys have all been having a wonderful summer! It has been wedding SEASON for me the last few weeks.  Between weddings, showers, and bachelorette parties, it’s a miracle I’m still breathing!  A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to host one of my best friend Jenna’s bridal shower and bachelorette party.  As you all know, I like to find ANY opportunity to craft/put glitter on things, so I made almost all of the decorations… Read more »

Hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing holiday weekend! Well, Minnesota has finally got a dose of summer with a few 90 degree, hot, humid days.  When it gets to be a true Minnesota July, the only thing I want to eat for lunch is something light.  I’ve always been a fan of egg salad sandwiches, but lets be honest…no one likes what all that mayonnaise does to the waistline… This recipe from over at Damn Delicious was amazingly… Read more »

Hi there! So a few weeks ago, my church choir had our last rehearsal before we taking a summer break. Throughout the year, we take turns bringing in treats to share with the choir after rehearsal, and people apparently love the random things I bring in. Well, I committed to bringing treats for the last rehearsal months prior to the actual date, and wouldn’t you know, I ended up having to work a little late that day and forgot to… Read more »

Sooo one of my all time favorite foods is sloppy joes…seriously whenever it was on the menu at DG I made sure to be there.  When I stumbled upon this gem on pinterest I knew I had to give it a try.  I’m going to apologize in advanced: Eric and I don’t use buns in our house, and the sloppy joes looked really funny on sandwich thins and my favorite way to eat sloppy joes is with chips (Special K… Read more »
