I partnered with My Gift Stop on this post. All opinions are my own. Sometimes I feel like Valentine's day is underrated. I feel bad that sometimes single people feel left out of the holiday, but I've always been a little surprised at married or coupled people who grumble over Valentine's day. I like the reminder to celebrate love! I have a great partner who works hard to build a life with me and to make me happy. We celebrate our anniversary, but it's nice to have one extra day per year to remind Read more [...]

Since we are constantly seeing different Read more [...]

Thank you to Rock Doctor for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. A few months ago, we renovated our kitchen.
