Founder’s Favorite Float Shots

I've never been much of a shot girl. Having only done 3 alcoholic shots (all vodka, all about a year apart) in my whole life I can certainly not attest to being a learned shot master if you will, HOWEVER I do know that I'm typically not a fan. The redeeming quality of shots is the cute little shot glasses. ;) Now a terrible transition: once upon a time I worked at Cold Stone Creamery. Three out of my four summers in college I took 2 classes in each session, but one summer I took one of the ... continue reading...

Polar Love

The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Polar. It's not often that I really get into the details of my workouts here on the blog.  I try not to make it a secret that I really do enjoy working out - it is such a great release for me - but since I'm no longer a certified trainer I just want to be careful about the things I suggest you guys try when it comes to your fitness.  You should always ALWAYS consult a physician when you are planning on changing your activity ... continue reading...

Creamy Lemonade Popsicles

I'm going to be honest here guys:  the enemy is at work big time in my life right now.  Preying on all the little weaknesses, the insecurities, the fears.  He's prying open worries that I've given over to the Lord many times over again, and yet apparently there's still room for those healing moments to be exposed again.  He's whispering in my ear those little lies of not enough: not doing enough, not being enough, not thinking enough, not loving enough.  I catch myself in this gloomy terrible ... continue reading...

What I Love About…The Kubly Girl

You know when you look at a blogger's header and you think you see all you need to know?  Generally I would say that you can't ever judge a book by its cover and never a blogger by their header, but Lindsey's blog is exactly like her header:  beautiful, clean, simple and quietly poetic.   When I first started reading The Kubly Girl I loved seeing Lindsey's picks for registry essentials, postpartum essentials, and in general her list of things that she loves - her blog is SO pin-worthy ... continue reading...

Living in a State of Great Taste: Regional Flavors

When I last left off about my trip to Traverse City, Michigan I had just told you guys that the trip was part of the State of Great Taste contest - but what I DIDN'T mention is that the flavor that wins the contest will be rolled out in the Kroger Private Selection line of ice cream in 2014!  I mean really, how amazing is that?!  I can honestly say that each and every flavor from each blogger is definitely a winner - I don't envy America having to choose just one!   The second day of ... continue reading...

Sweet friends, it feels like I have been waiting for FOREVER to tell you guys all about the trip I took to Traverse City, Michigan a few weeks ago!  You'll have to forgive me - I've been working to go through all of my photos, edit them, and find the words to tell you just how fantastic this trip was.  Not only did I get a chance to work with amazing brands, I had the chance to meet an incredible group of women who will no doubt change my life forever!   Here's a quick list so you can ... continue reading...
