‘Tis the season to Rinse and Repeat! With only a few more days left until Christmas life always finds a way to get busier and busier, no matter how organized or prepared you are. Or in my case aren’t… I take all the short cuts I can get in the kitchen. Rinse and Repeat is [...]
I’m not sure how it’s possible, but it just seems like there is NEVER enough time! I realized last night that my husband has been deployed for almost two months, and I have no idea where the time has gone. I had all these great plans of sorting through the attic while he was gone [...]
