I love the time in between Christmas and New Year, my friends and family are usually off of work and it’s the best time to spend time together before we welcome the new year. Chris was on vacation for a week. We were able to enjoy our days doing something outdoorsy, like hiking. When evening […]

Since I’m not cooking just for myself anymore, one way that I’ve streamlined breakfast is to prep the ingredients the night […]
