Coconut Oil, my new obsession!

Hi everyone! Happy weekend. Hope you are all doing well!

Today I want to tell you about something that I recently discovered, bought and subsequently fell in love with: Coconut Oil. This stuff is amazing. The health benefits alone persuaded me to buy a jar, but the way it makes my skin feel... Well, it's just amazing.

I'm Back, this time with copycat Chick Fil A nuggets

I know I have a bit absent lately, my apologies. I'm in the process of setting up my own at home business and have been sewing and creating a lot lately. Thus the blog has taken the back seat, but don't fret... I've come back strong!

My best friend cannot have wheat. When I say 'cannot', I don't mean she will get a little sick and maybe not feel well for a few hours. I'm talking extreme.

Energy Balls



Hi everyone. The last few days have been super fun. Josh and I went fishing... we didn't catch anything but the weather was nice and we had each other for company. When we got home, we were exhausted. So we both grabbed a soda and some of these amazing bites.
