Influenster & Victoria's Secret Love - VSX Bra & Bottoms Review

Yes, it's been a while since I've posted huh?  What can I say, I'm a girl that gets easily distracted, so if I've got a lot going on I tend to put blogging on the back burner.  Not good, I know. I keep telling myself I'll get back to it, but this or that comes up and I just never do.  Lately I've been a little fixated on a few other things, namely eating healthier, which for a sweet tooth junk food lover like me is a big deal.  But, I've managed to find some healthier snacks that I am loving, sadly, they aren't all that photogenic so they haven't brought me back to blogging.  I'm also working on getting a new business...

Fun Free Stuff To Try - Crest 3D White Luxe Supreme FlexFit Whitestrips - #FindItAtTarget

So, it's been a while since I've blogged right? Well, I can explain... It seems like life is either totally crazy and I have no time to blog or life is totally boring and I feel like I have nothing interesting to share with y'all. And, who wants to read a boring blog right? My spring resolution is to try to do better with the blog, among other things, like cleaning my house and not letting things get my anxiety and stress up. But those are all a completely different story. I thought I'd share with y'all an awesome site that's given me some great experiences over the last year. That site is Influenster. Heard of it? No? Well, if you...

Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner!

Warning: this post contains no chicken. I am a winner though! About a month ago a group of bloggers including Kristen Duke did a huge giveaway where each blogger purchased and gave away a bunch of their favorite things for summer. I was lucky enough to win Kristen's goodies, and boy was I excited! Luck is never something I've thought I had much of, but I've won a few things here and there lately. Truth be told, I've probably won more lately than I have in my combined 32 years. Nothing major, no cars or anything, but I'm still hopeful that I'll win the lottery one day, or at the very least a brand spanking new Corvette ZR1, well, a Z06 would...

Perfectly Moist Streusel Topped Banana Muffins

I love muffins. I'll eat them for breakfast, lunch or even a snack anytime of the day. Maybe it's the fact that they are basically a less sweet cupcake without the frosting and usually with fruit added in. No matter the reason I love them. I could use the same recipe to make muffins and a loaf of sweet bread and I'd go for the muffins over a slice of the bread anytime. Please don't ask me to explain that one because there really is no good reason, it's all about the delivery I guess. Recently I scored a bag of bananas at the grocery for some crazy cheap price like $1.25 for 3 lbs, how could I pass that up? I expected them all to be nearly...

Celebrating With Chocolate Pound Cake

Friday was Mr. Picky's birthday. My Daddy turned 60 years old, and that sounds just crazy to me. Not that 60 is old, but looking back at my grandparents when they were that age, they just seemed so much older than my Daddy does. I come from good genes and a family that ages amazingly well, I can only hope that I age half as well as my Daddy and the rest of my family members have. I suppose part of what made my grandparents seem so much older at 60 than my Daddy seems is that although graying my dad still has much of his natural hair color. But, beyond that, generation has a lot to do with it. My Daddy comes from the era of the hippie, so...

Birthday Pupcakes For Millie

So..it's been a while right? Yeah, I know. Feel free to call me a slacker because part of my absence has definitely been because I was unmotivated, or in less desirable terms, lazy. Mostly though, my absence started off because I had a lot on my mind. I was pretty stressed over a few family matters, but am happy to report that all is fine. Many prayers were said, and much thanks was given when those prayers were answered, you have my word on that. But, I'll spare you my saga and say that I will try much harder to share my projects, my recipes and my not so exciting life with y'all regularly. Today is a pretty special day in our house. ...

Donut Heaven - Apple Pie Donuts

Recently one of my favorite ladies came over for a little girl time. You know us girls, we have to get together, gossip and catch up from time to time, and this catch up was long overdue. Me being me, I had to make something sweet to snack on. When us girls get together there is always food involved, and usually alcohol. There was no alcohol this time, but definitely some delicious food. Jessica brought over this delicious Artichoke Bread she found on Pinterest and if I hadn't eaten dinner shortly before hand I think we might have been fussing over who got the last piece it was that good. I haven't made it myself yet, but I did repin it,...
