Two months ago, I decided to do a raw food diet cleanse. I’d been feeling very slugglish, and had fallen into that cycle of eating too way much sugar. You know the one where you eat tons of sugar and then you crave more sugar, repeat? I’ve always had an insane sweet tooth, and I’m a big snacker, so…
Ok I’m starting a new series here: Snack and a movie. If you’re an old timer like me, you probably remember the old TBS series Dinner and a Movie that ran for years. During the commercials, the hosts would cook a meal with a punny name (ex. Dinner – Two Hot Peppers on the Lamb; movie- Thelma & Louise). …
Target’s One Spot (aka the dollar aisle) knocked it out of the park this week with their Easter basket and spring items.

Planning a wedding can be incredibly expensive, but there are definitely some big ways to save a lot of money. T and I just celebrated our 8th anniversary this week, and while I was looking through our wedding album, happy memories of the wedding and yes, wedding planning came flooding back to me.
