    Our Trip to Bryson City, NC

    This post is in partner with Bryson City. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Last week, my family and my brother-in-law and his children went to the mountains for a winter vacation. I have always wanted to go to the mountains during Christmas time and this year, it came to fruition. Derrek and his brother actually planned this trip and I was just tagging along for the ride. They wanted to surprise the kids and take them to the Polar Express in Bryson City, North Carolina.  What I knew before we went to Bryson City was that it was the town…

    Fine Dine the K9

As promised, I’ve focused on sharing Christmas gift ideas for everyone. I don’t want to exclude certain members of the family and that means our four legged loves. We have had our dog, Doc for almost 7 years and he means the world to us. He is a schnauzer poodle mix (snoodle) and we saved him from a puppy mill.  I will never forget the feeling of spending pretty much the entirety of my bank account to buy him because…

I cannot believe that we are so close to the biggest day of the year. Over the course of 2018, I hyper focused on reducing the massive intake of THINGS into my household. Now, this did take me a while to get in line with but I love how it benefits us all the way around. I am less stressed and there is a whole lot less clutter. In the process of doing this, it…

      This post is in partner with Burts Bees Baby. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Ya’ll, I cannot believe the countdown to Christmas is on! I feel like December is going to fly by quicker than any other month of the year.

I have always wanted to take our Christmas pictures in family jammies and this year Burts Bees Baby made that dream a reality. I’ve always purchased their clothing for the kids but I’ve never had the opportunity to buy for myself. This year, we…
