Four years ago, my family thought we were going to a little pumpkin patch, but we actually stumbled upon one of the best-kept secrets of Middle Tennessee. Walden Farm, located in Smyrna, is way more than a pumpkin patch. We were blown away by all the farm had to offer: pumpkins, flowers, food, and tons of […]
I needed some antibiotics for a recurring condition, but I would have done almost anything to avoid high doctor fees and a long wait with kids at a boring office. Curious, I did a quick google search and found HeyDoctor, an online clinical service. HeyDoctor offers treatments/prescriptions for common things such cold sores, acute sinus […]
Function of Beauty…Personalized shampoo? At first, I thought maybe it was a scam. My friend told me that she ordered personalized shampoo from Function of Beauty and loved it. I thought it was pretty expensive for a few bottles of shampoo. But she said that her hair really felt a lot healthier and stronger. I […]
Our 2018 family reunion was a blast! It was the first time in 4 years that we have all been together. We filled the week with lots of family-friendly activities, that were all cheap and fun! St. Louis, Missouri is the perfect city for families looking for an affordable activity or vacation. Day 2 of […]
I don’t know if I would say I expected an owl-delivered letter from Hogwarts on my 11th birthday, but I was certainly disappointed when it didn’t come! I’ve always dreamed of running through the corridors and practicing magic spells with my wand. If you doubt that we actually dressed up to play Harry Potter in […]

I recently tried out Exciting Romantic, a new app designed to bring some spark back into a relationship. The app is easy to use. It has one page with 9 Category buttons on it: Crazy Plans, Presents, Movies, Recipe ideas to make together (note: the actual recipes are not included), Questions, Discounts, Bedroom Ideas, and then […]
A few months ago, I was driving over to Cafe Rio to grab some lunch and a new sign in the Traverse Mountain parking lot caught my eye: “Coming Soon: Just Add Chocolate.” The banner noted that the shop would have chocolate classes and parties. How cool is that? As a lifelong chocolaholic, this idea […]
In March, I tried out Avocadu’s 21-Day Weight Loss Challenge. Spoiler Alert: It went really well and I learned a lot. The Challenge is three weeks long, and is designed to be repeatable. You do it as many times as you need until you lose all the weight you want (each three-week completion is called […]
Maize Food Truck catered to our office building today, which was a pleasant surprise as I forgot to pack my lunch. They primarily cater street tacos and quesadillas. I ordered three of the street tacos and was happy to find the service was really quick. I had my food in a matter of minutes and […]
Madison and I went to dinner this week to get a break from work and school stress. We are both Mexican foodies so we decided to give Mi Ranchito in Orem, UT a try. The restaurant was pretty full when we got there but we were still seated quickly. I also wanted to mention the […]
Over the last few months, I have seen pictures promoting this new ice cream bar in Provo known as The Sweet Cream Bar. The pictures have tantalized me with their delicious looking pastry cones and mounds of soft serve piling out of the top. My sisters and I have been wanting to try this place […]

I am a clothing hoarder. It’s true. I’ll keep 3 pairs of heels that are black because they are all slightly different. One has a peep toe. One has a t-strap. One is just PERFECT with that dress. When I was younger, my mom would tell me if I bought an article of clothing, I […]

While I’m not here to reveal their specific program or anything, I do want to share my three-week journey with you in case you’re considering trying out the program. (Note: I did not receive any freebies in exchange for this review, […]
