By this time of the year, people have either completed their Whole30 or 21-Day Fix or they are abandoning ship after failing to keep their hands out of the cookie jar.

Von’s Bistro – A Review
To celebrate my birthday, we decided to try out a new (to us) restaurant while my mother watched the babe.

Currently // February 2016
Hey, friends! Did you all have a great weekend and special Valentine’s Day? The hubs grilled burgers and we oven-baked some sweet potato and regular fries—which was romantic enough for me.

5 Ways to Find Blogging Inspiration
