Sometimes it’s the little things that make life happy and fulfilling. I love Diet Coke with lemon from Sonic and I enjoy stopping by during Happy Hour and getting my (sometimes) daily joy.

Countdown to Easter
Are our house, we are always looking forward to the next party, event, or get together. When my kids know it is getting close to a birthday or holiday they will anxiously and relentlessly ask, “How many more days until _____?” One way I have managed this is by downloading an app for my phone…

Cap’n Crunch French Toast
Oh my gosh. This recipe was soooo good. Especially for a breakfast-loving girl like me. My BFF was telling me a story once that included a reference to Cap’n Crunch French Toast and knew it was something I would need to try. The french toast was delicious you didn’t need to use butter or syrup,…
