Christmas Tradition

Photo Credit: Pastor Ryan Merry Christmas my dear friends! Well technically it’s Christmas Eve but still… I’m about to head out and attempt to walk off the 3 pounds of fat I’ve gained this week while being on vacation. Biscuits and gravy will do that to you. But that’s what New Year’s resolutions are for, […]

The Most Important Meal of the Day

J and I are in Texas this week. We’re spending Christmas with my family down here, so posts may be somewhat sporadic. Just a warning. Growing up, my dad was the King of Breakfast.

Music for a Cold Monday

It’s Monday and the day has flown by. I can’t believe it’s already lunch! Yes, I’m writing this while at lunch. Snacking on my poor attempt at kale chips… think less chippy and more soggy bread… Grosse. This is who I’ve been listening to this morning at work… source Everly. You might recognize one of […]
