Living in Georgia, Travis and I never really experienced winter. And it was great. I'd much rather be on the beach or going for a walk in the sunshine. But now we have moved. Indiana is much different than Georgia. As soon we got here, the snow started coming down. Huge flakes were falling as we moved our furniture in to our new house. And the temperatures have been freezing. As much as I hate the winter, having warm comfort foods makes it all so much better. This warm winter punch is comforting and great for drinking while the snow is falling. Here's what you'll Continue Reading
Post-Workout Food Options
Like I've mentioned before during my veggie posts, I've been working out a lot lately. Riding the bike machine at the gym on post and then walking/jogging on a treadmill at an incline.

Start by blending the 1 cup of strawberries Continue Reading
Our Wedding Decor & Food
I want to share with ya'll some of the details about my wedding. I've been dying to blog about this topic because who doesn't love to reminisce about their special day? Hopefully this blog will give those of you planning a wedding some new ideas. This post is all about our wedding decor, food, and the little details. Our colors were navy blue and bright yellow. I'd say our style was simple elegance. For the reception, we used white table clothes with curled navy blue ribbon scattered on top. We used mirrors with large vases on top. We filled the vases with lemons for a splash of yellow. We Continue Reading
