2017 Travel Bucket List
We always have our big trip for the year planned out well in advance, but many times we schedule smaller trips closer to the time of travel. Last year we visited Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, Manitou Springs, Colorado, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Gulf Shores, Alabama, Walt Disney World and many weekend camping trips and […]
Happy New Year + Look Back at 2016

Christmas Coffee Bar

Having a coffee/hot chocolate bar set up is a wonderful addition when you have guests over and allows everyone to help themselves throughout the event. […]
