I’ll admit that over the past two years or so, I haven’t been the most prepared when it comes to Cold and Flu season.

Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee At Home
And the winner is NICHOLAS ELIAS NIEVES! Congrats! I’m not an OMG-I-need-coffee-in-the-morning type of girl, but I am starting to drink it more now that I’m discovering new flavors. I once considered coffee an energy boosting adult beverage, but now I consider it a treat. Through Mom Bloggers Club, I had the opportunity to try… Continue Reading

Every Halloween we have fun by making and enjoying themed treats. Like our Halloween decor, we don’t do it big. We keep things sweet and simple. :) Pumpkin Carving & Roasted Seeds Every Halloween we buy at least one pumpkin for decorating and making pumpkin seeds.

OMG IKEA!
Following our lunch at Wendy’s, we took a trip to IKEA! It was my first time in an IKEA…EVAR. I was totally inspired. I got some ideas for our office and Jayden’s room.

See, we had a small bloggers meet-up at a specific Wendy’s in Naperville, and after some GPS reroutes, we ended up at the incorrect Wendy’s. We didn’t realize until we had received our food… Continue Reading
Preparing For Halloween: Decor
When it comes to decorating for Halloween, we don’t do much. We tend to do more for Autumn and Christmas, since we can keep the decorations up longer. This year, we did pick up a few decorations to add some Halloween flare to our autumn decor. With all seasonal decorations, we collect here and there… Continue Reading
Bits Of Happy
Happiness is… capturing a great shot. exploring away from home. the smell of fresh air wisping through the windows. listening to a good thunderstorm. having home movie nights with Greg. sipping a good cup of tea, hot cocoa, or coffee. the smell of sweet, cinnamon-y candles. indulging in reese’s peanut butter cups and waffles and… Continue Reading

I attended an event where I learned more about the brand and its founder and I continue learning more as this partnership unfolds.
