We are back from our trip, but the adventures has not stopped. We are adjusting to our daily routine, picking up where we left off…which was right after the wedding and after one week from Mexico. It has been a whirlwind of a month. In the last month, we have visited 2 countries, went thru […]

Today is the last full day remaining in our travels. Chris and I had the greatest time traveling all over the Philippines in the last 2.5 weeks. We tried exotic foods and other foods we don’t normally eat at home. I did activities outside my comfort zone and did it all without regrets. It was […]

I feel so productive when I make dinner in a slow cooker. It feels good knowing dinner is cooking itself. I’m working towards making at least a few crock pot meals several times a month, to include it in my Sunday meal prep. Lately though, I’ve been preparing the ingredients right before bed and letting […]
I make it a habit to drink a big cup of water before bed. But the last few nights, I have been waking up in the middle of the night because I had to use the bathroom and usually it is hard to go back to asleep. I try to read a book or listen to instrumental music on my […]
