It was a normal morning. I woke up, quietly went downstairs to have my breakfast. I had finally gotten through one box of cereal and was excited to start on the Cinnamon Life Avery and I had picked up at the store the week before. I grabbed the box off the shelf and had that Continue reading

So this weekend we are heading to Greencastle, IN for an alumni dinner for Avery’s fraternity. Avery is super excited and frankly, I am too. We are going to get to see some of our very closest friends and Avery will get to see some of the men he spent four years with. Leading up Continue reading

Because Avery is cold-blooded, he tends to get very cold at night (even with all of the covers on him). I, Continue reading

So, when Avery and I first got married, he had never really had much V8 Splash. I have always been a fan because I am not a huge raw veggie-person but V8 Splash I can definitely drink a small glass of everyday (favorite flavor- Diet Berry Blast). For some reason, this particular juice always seems Continue reading
