Genius Golden Grahams Smore Bars

A couple housekeeping items before we get to the deliciousness here. Notice the new watermark gracing the corners of my photos? Isn't it lovely? Hopefully it will help keep people (who are not me) from passing off my stuff as theirs. Sometimes I'm so disappointed in humanity. Also, just above the actual recipe details, you'll… Continue reading Genius Golden Grahams Smore Bars

One Man Disney Movie

I cannot remember the last time I watched something on YouTube that I loved this much. I grew up on Disney movies and this video made me want to have a movie marathon of all my favorites this weekend. If this is the absolute only think this guy can do, he's still amazing. I love… Continue reading One Man Disney Movie

The Fairness of Life

I originally posted this last year on today's sad anniversary. I still struggle with these same things another year later as I remember my friends.

Are you kidding me right now? I have been hearing about WinCo from my couponing websites for a while now, but there isn't one near my house. One opened about 15 minutes away last weekend.

B v ~B

Twelve years ago I went on my very first first date. It was also my last first date. I was reminiscing this morning and thought I'd share this with all of you. First of all, Zack was (still is) a genius. He didn't just ask me out. He made me work for it. He caught… Continue reading B v ~B

Sisters

I have been blessed with three sisters. My mom used to call us built-in-friends. She always told us to be nice to each other, because we were who God picked as lifelong relationships for one another. Sometimes it was difficult to follow that advice. Often, it was downright impossible.     I've gone thru ups… Continue reading Sisters
