• **Weekend Recap** {8.31.2020}

    Happy Monday… Another weekend has come and gone. I don’t know abobut you guys, but our weekend flew by. We spent Friday night just chilling here after a long, busy week.

  • **Amazon Finds** {8.19.2020}

    Today I’m sharing some of my favorite Amazon finds lately… These are in no particular order. I’m excited to share some of these with you all because a lot of them are showing SALE. Fingers crossed that they still are today….  These wool dryer balls have been great for using in the place of dryer sheets. I just sprinkle some Lavender essential oil on them, throw them in the dryer, and they’re perfect. So much better for you than chemically infused dryer sheets, and it saves money.  Wool Dryer Balls  These two tops have been great to just throw on with shorts, or you can even dress them up for…

  • **Weekend Recap** {8.17.2020}

    Happy Monday!!! How was your weekend? Ours was full of rest and a lot of quiet time. We have been out of internet all weekend which since we stream TV, that means no TV either. To say I despise Windstream internet, would be an understatement. They said they put the work order in, and we should have someone out on the 20th. The 20th?!?!? WTH!!!  I try to be positive about most things, but really!?? Anyway, the positive that came out of it was we had a lot of quiet together time, which was just what we needed.  ***************************************************** This was Friday morning on the way out the door.  Addison’s…
