Let’s start off Monday with dessert. Sounds like a plan to me. Finding pumpkin Oreos last fall inspired me to create this recipe. Mac loves Oreos, all things pumpkin, and Oreo cheesecake, so it’s a perfect mix. Sadly, the pumpkin Oreos went away before he came home, and I didn’t think cheesecake could survive a trip to Afghanistan. I was anxiously awaiting fall, so I could make these pumpkin spice… View Post »
Curel Itch Defense #VoxBox
I recently received the Curel Itch Defense #VoxBox from Influenster. I received this product for free, but all opinions are my own. Have you ever had a surgery dressing or a cast? I had surgery a few weeks ago, and my left wrist was wrapped up for about eight days.

Last night, I suddenly remembered the eclipse, so we headed out to the front porch for a glimpse. The majority of the actual eclipse activity occurred in less than 90 minutes. The last lunar eclipse I could see (I’ve missed many due to weather) was… View Post »
H54F: lately
I turned 27 last Friday! We had sorority recruitment last week, and I had to work on my birthday for the first time ever. But it was bid day, so I couldn’t complain. I’ve been steam cleaning my carpets this week. I lead an exciting life. I finally finished the curtains I was making for my office and our bedroom. One step closer to posting our home tour, 10 months… View Post »
