I’ve had an ongoing war with storage for the last decade. Though the battle isn’t over yet, I feel like I have the upper hand. I actually never thought that I would ever even have storage. I was completely against it and felt it was a waste of money. But circumstances be what they may, I got sucked into the vortex. I actually don’t want to total up all the money I’ve spent to have my belongings stored in a 5×10 unit that is kept safe by a simple padlock. I’d likely have a heart attack! Continue reading

It is no secret our family has a love affair with donuts! I mean who doesn’t? We scour the globe getting them everywhere we can to compare and contrast. I’ve taken my Snapchat friends on several Foodie Fieldtrip Friday outings to donut shops. I gave Snapchat headquarters custom donuts that spelled out Snapchat! I even dressed as a donut for Halloween this year! While the majority in our family prefer the “cake” variety, there are others in the “yeast” donut camp. There are whole debates in food journalism on this subject! In fact, people even argue on how to spell donuts (or doughnuts)! Whatever type you favor, or how you choose to spell them, you will love making these bite sized treats in your own home. Continue reading
Ice, Ice, Iceland Baby
During February, the Guest Blogger Month, I only published five new posts of my own. I figured there was enough to read and with 33 awesome authors contributing to the month of LOVE series, that took precedence. But I have a stockpile of topics in my draft folder waiting to share with you, and some travel posts are top of the list! Continue reading

It was an honor to host this love fest with authors pouring out their hearts with inspiring stories! Continue reading
