April’s Here! Let’s get organized! Organized!

Simplify. There’s that 2015 word again. More than I like to admit, I am a person often dictated by the weather and the changing of the seasons.

5 Things for Friday: International Women’s Day Week Edition

  International Women’s Day was March 8th, and I purposely have waited to write about this.

It’s Wednesday, you could use an easy recipe.

I’m trying really hard to stand by my one word for 2015, and let “simple” permeate into my every day. In that quest, trying to eat more simple foods is sometimes not as easy as it sounds. If you’re trying to eat simply as well, it’s nice to let your slow cooker be your bestie on this journey… Read More It’s Wednesday, you could use an easy recipe.

Warning: This is not a sugary post. Sometimes work, especially in the winter, can make you feel like you just sat through an emotional punching bag, where you are the bag in the situation.

“Put it in your phone, let’s do some business…” – overheard at Beauty Shop brunch

Dreaming of yesterday’s brunch? Yeah, me too. I live in the South and people here like to brunch. Breakfast? Not so much. Brunch? Yes. I think maybe it’s because brunch is an acceptable time to eat more than one would at just an ordinary “breakfast”, and we like our food down here in Memphis.  … Read More “Put it in your phone, let’s do some business…” – overheard at Beauty Shop brunch
