Have you read Born To Run yet? If you haven’t, drop everything and go pick up a copy and read it. Now. Seriously guys, it’s that good. Kelly read the book first and mailed it to me, telling me to read it. However I looked

Happy Monday friends! Don’t you just love Mondays?? Oh wait…maybe that’s just me. Since I work a weekend shift, technically Mondays are my “Fridays” and I end up the most chipper person at work! But in case you’re like the rest of the world and

“Embrace the current season of your life.” -Gabrielle Blair

February 2014 is almost over… what?!? I feel like it was just Halloween and now you can see St. Patrick’s Day decorations all over the grocery store! This year is flying by, of course every year seems to fly as you get older. I tend to think of the calendar year as an oval. More specifically, kind of like an elongated clock (elongated at 3 and 9) without the times but January starts at where 3:00 is and ends where 12:00 would be located. So I guess that’s a funky clock that moves backwards but it’s oval/clock nonetheless. I also tend to think of the calendar in colors. Let me explain. Continue reading Monthly Musings: Kelly

Valentine’s Day Puppy Chow

Valentine’s Day Puppy Chow

Well Stephanie, I guess I take the cake on baking procrastination… In my defense, I made this specifically for Valentine’s Day at the office but just haven’t blogged about it until now. The beauty of puppy chow, however, is that it is not holiday specific.

Okay…is anyone else as much of a procrastinator as me? I’ve been mentally preparing to make these brownies for at least a month. I’ve even had the ingredients purchased and sitting on my counter for two weeks. Yet somehow, here I am. February 13. Just

Happy World Nutella Day! A holiday I didn’t know existed until last week, but plan on fully celebrating from now on. Did you know today is the 8th anniversary of the holiday?? The day even has its own Twitter if you feel the need to

Happy World Nutella Day! It is incredibly random that we have a World Nutella Day. Seriously, who comes up with these kinds of days?? Not that I am complaining. As previously mentioned more than once, I am a Nutella addict. And if there is any 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

If Kelly has a Nutella addiction, I have a peanut butter addiction: on my toast at breakfast, with an apple at lunch, by the spoonful for a snack, on my ice cream at night…it’s a daily necessity. I recently found this honey peanut butter from a local peanut shop. AMAZING. Seriously. I tried eating normal peanut butter after having this and I couldn’t. It’s that good. Sometimes I just eat it with a spoon (someday my metabolism is going to quit on me and I’m going to weigh 500 pounds…)
