It’s the New Year and though I suck at making resolutions, I do try to create healthier, happier habits to incorporate into my daily life. Some of these new habits are seemingly small but they do a lot of good for my soul. For instance, I like to take 20 minutes out of every day if…
Fresh Out of the Oven
Love Bug Bites
What ever happened to the days when kids would go door-to-door-to selling things? I never see this anymore. It’s probably for everyone’s good because 1).
