Hi all! Happy FRIDAY! Any fun plans this weekend? If you watch the Rachel Ray show, like I do when I can & want to go to one day, they’ve been doing a count down to Thankgiving and a checklist to start. Anyone out there hosting Thanksgiving this year? Do you create a list? I am totally interested! This year my sister-in-law is hosting Thanksgiving and I swear she was born to host parties – she thinks of EVERYTHING. Last year I made my Apple Pie Chickpea Power Blondies and had everyone guess the secret ingredient (which was chickpeas). So now this year I am trying to think of a new … [Read more...]

South Carolina Road trip & Family Lovin’

November 6, 2013 By Kasey 18 Comments

Hiiiii everyone! These last couple of weeks have definitely been jam packed with traveling! I am definitely not complaining because the opportunities have been amazing, but it’s also nice to have a few days of down time this week before we head out again. I see youuu Down time = sleeping for 10 hours last night (my body needed it), shoulder workout, grocery shopping, laundry, & now finally settling in for a few computer work hours at my favorite coffee shop with a coconut milk cinnamon latte keeping me warm on this beautiful fall day. A positive about being home for a few days is … [Read more...]
