For some reason I seem to read more often in the Fall & Winter seasons. With the change in weather and cooler temperatures it is so much more appealing to stay in and curl up with a good book. Now that we are finally getting to colder weather here in Nebraska I am excited to … Continue reading Winter Reads

Deck the Halls
This season is truly my favorite time of the year. I love having all of our holiday decor up, picking out a tree, wrapping presents, etc. If I could I would leave it our holiday decor out all year long. After Thanksgiving I was super anxious to put up our tree and get all of … Continue reading Deck the Halls
Gift Guide: Gifts Under $25
Gifting doesn't have to be about spending lots of money in fact it really doesn't have to include buying a gift at all. I know in college it was always difficult to find gifts for my group of friends that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg. So if you are in need of … Continue reading Gift Guide: Gifts Under $25

This past week Andrew and I headed back to Kearney for Thanksgiving. Andrew managed to take a few days off from work and we were able to visit our families Wednesday-Saturday. I was thankful that we had as much time as we did but it of course didn't seem like enough. We celebrated as we … Continue reading Thanksgiving Together

A Day to Be Thankful For
With me and my siblings growing up it is harder to get us all together. Luckily we are all able to gather at my parents house this Thanksgiving with my in-laws as well.

Thanksgiving Morning: Parade Watching
One of my favorite traditions on Thanksgiving is watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (This year is the 90th Anniversary of the parade and I know it won't disappoint!). Before the craziness of dinner prep begins we usually sit around in our cozy PJs, coffee in hand, and watch the beginning of the parade. Eventually we … Continue reading Thanksgiving Morning: Parade Watching
