So, I’ve decided I’m going to do a different gift guide every day from December 1st-December 20th. I’ve putContinue reading “Holiday Gift Guide – Work From Home”

Honey Roasted Almonds

I’m not sure where this recipe originated from, but my grandpa used to make these honey roasted almonds, so I copied the recipe from him. He didn’t make them all the time, but sometimes we’d go over to their house and there would be a bowl of them sitting on the coffee table. And whenContinue reading “Honey Roasted Almonds”

I was lucky enough to get a GHD flat iron for my birthday, and it is seriously life changing. If you’re sitting there thinking, yeah right, it’s probably just a gimmick.

I woke up andContinue reading “Weekend in Photos (October 17-18)”

Thanksgiving 2020

This Thanksgiving I insisted on hosting, since it’s the first Thanksgiving in our new house! My parents, my brother, and my brother’s girlfriend all came over. My parents also brought our family dog, Murphy, so it was a bit of a circus with the two dogs! Normally, we attend a large family reunion with everyoneContinue reading “Thanksgiving 2020”
