One year already?

Whoa, where did the time go? I can’t believe this time last year I was saying “I do” to my best friend…thus embarking on a lifetime of love and laughter. I will spare you all from enduring another post full of wedding photos since you can see them and read the recap(s) here. But I will share some of the outtakes… These pics are so much better anyway! Air robot! Group love! It was hot (I promise I wasn’t peeing my pants dress). My uncle looks very worried, though. He’s a romantic,… Read more >

Cocoa loco

For some reason, I was in the snack food aisle of WFs last week (I usually stick to the perimeter of the store) and my browsing led to this purchase… Vegan, gluten free, chocolate…no wonder they caught my eye. I’ve tried a few Enjoy Life products before – mostly granola and cereals (back when I was in nursing school and still hated nuts). Being an allergy conscious company, I appreciated the no nut guarantee they offered. The ingredients list is a bit long, but they are all recognizable to me. The date paste and… Read more >
