Photo Source: Stylabl via Pinterest October is gone and November is upon us. In fact, we are already a week into this month. The weather is about to turn a little bit colder. All of the colorful leaves have fallen off the trees. And if we’re lucky, the sun will come out for a few hours a day and remind us that Winter is just another season that we have to endure until Spring and Summer return! But until then, we have two major holidays to face head-on… Thanksgiving and Christmas. First things first… Cleverly Inspired has compiled a list of […]
Wanderlust Wednesday: Iceland
With winter approaching, why would someone dream of taking a trip to somewhere further north, like Iceland? Simply this… it’s a beautiful place!

What I'm Reading… I Quit Sugar
“I quit sugar!” Those are words that will (hopefully) come out of my mouth with a little more enthusiasm than I’m feeling right now, especially since I had a cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting this morning for breakfast. I recently purchased Sarah Wilson’s book, I Quit Sugar, with every intention to quit the sweet stuff. My sugar addiction is off the charts! I’m giving myself some time to thoroughly read the book, to clean out my cupboards and fridge, and to develop an attack plan. Thankfully, my friend, Katy, said that she would quit sugar with me. Now I’m […]
