Are you looking for a new tradition to start this year? Last year was our first time trying out this tradition and we plan to do it every year from here on out! Throughout the year, we write down our good memories on a slip of paper. We fold those papers up and put them inside our memory jar. On New Year's Eve (or close to it), we pull out each slip of paper and relive all the good memories. We really enjoyed looking through all the memories, especially seeing the ones we had already forgotten about. Here's what you'll need to make your own memory jar: A jar A ribbon Slips of Continue Reading

How to Make a Food Passport
Travis and I moved to a new location about three months ago. We love exploring our new home and the surrounding areas. We are within driving distance of so many neat places -- Savannah, Tybee Island, Jekyll Island, St. Simons Island, Jacksonville, Charlotte, Hilton Head ... There never has to be a boring weekend! We have really enjoyed visiting some of these new places, and we have a list of other places we want to visit in the future. With a new hometown, there are tons of new restaurants. We both like trying new restaurants, but it's hard to remember all the places we once saw and wanted Continue Reading
