I can't exactly say that my husband is hard to shop for, because there is always something he either needs or wants. He's been telling me for a few months now that he needs a new beard trimmer, or maybe he told me he wanted one. I'm not sure, but either way, this Father's Day that is exactly what he is getting.

My only problem with snacking lately is that I haven't been reaching … [Read more...]

Spring is in the air and you know what that means: SPRING CLEANING! Lucky for me Spring Cleaning came around the same time as nesting and this made it very easy to purge everything that was unnecessary clutter in my home. If I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted something, then that meant I didn't want it bad enough and tossed it. Along with getting rid of things I didn't want or need, I also … [Read more...]
