Oh my goodness guys, I thought that I might lose my mind last week. My laptop started going on the fritz and after four separate calls to AppleCare, I was told to completely reinstall everything. That meant that my entire laptop was wiped clean in one fell swoop. The worst part of it was that it took almost two full days (I had to do it twice at about 14 hours each time) and it didn't work.

My husband and I have a favorite way to unwind after a long day. We love to go out on our patio, start up a fire and just relax and snuggle together while chatting about our days and catching up. Beer is normally the drink of choice, but as it cools down we have found ourselves wanting warm drinks to keep our temps up. After adding a little something something to our coffees and chai teas, we … [Read more...]

Oh my goodness you guys, I have missed you all! I ended up taking a totally unplanned and super annoying break from blogging last week because there was absolutely no sunshine around these parts.

It has been raining here for what feels like forever, so I just took … [Read more...]
