I'm so excited to announce that my bedroom is finished! Be sure to check out the bedroom before and during in one of my previous posts. A lot of work was done to this room, and now that is complete I seriously love it! It is exactly what I wanted. A big huge thanks goes out to my dad, grandpa, and uncle who put in countless hours of work for me. A big thanks to my brother and his fiance for helping me take the closet doors off, which took forever. And another thank you goes to my husband who helped me paint the closet doors, put them back on (sorta), and hang up my wall art. Please don't Continue Reading
Purple and Grey Bridal Shower Ideas
Like I told you last week, I got to plan and host my first bridal shower a couple weeks ago. It was really fun deciding how I wanted to decorate. I went with a purple and grey bridal shower theme -- the bride's favorite color is purple. And so is mine! I loved how it turned out. This post contains affiliate links. View my disclosure policy here. We did a Bridal Brunch complete with breakfast foods! Our menu consisted of sausage links, biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, fruit kabobs with dip, hash brown casserole, chicken salad sandwiches, cheese cubes, and muffins. We also had Continue Reading

Holiday Cookies: Swirl Butter Cookies
Welcome to my Holiday Cookie Series! I'm sharing some holiday cookie recipes with you every Monday throughout the holidays. If you missed it, last week I shared a chocolate mint cookie called Grasshoppers. But this week, I'm showing you how to make Swirl Butter Cookies! Travis was excited that I was finally making a type of sugar cookie instead of some kind of chocolate cookie! He doesn't like chocolate -- crazy I know, but it means more for me. :) I was really nervous that these cookies wouldn't turn out right. Making the cookies have a swirl within the dough sounded like a failure waiting Continue Reading
Queso Dip
One of my new favorite foods is queso! I love going to Mexican restaurants now, specifically for their chips and queso. I wanted to be able to make this delicious dip at home, and now I can. This recipe is fabulous! Travis and I love chowing down on chips and queso while watching TV or a movie. We refrigerate the leftovers and heat it up later -- and it's still just as good! Here's what you'll need: White American cheese Butter Milk Chopped green chilies Garlic powder Onion powder Cumin Cayenne pepper First, put the cheese, butter and milk together in a saucepan Continue Reading
White Chicken Chili
When my husband and I were dating, we talked about who would do which chores. We didn't want to have the wrong expectations and end up fighting during our marriage.One of the things we talked about was who would do the cooking. We agreed I would cook most meals for our family. But I didn't want to have to cook every single day for the rest of our lives. So we came up with "Daddy Dinner Night." One night a week, my husband does the cooking for our evening meal. Even though he's not a daddy yet, we still call it Daddy Dinner Night. Someday, he'll be a daddy and it will make sense. Our Daddy Continue Reading
