I don’t even know where to begin but I’ll warn you, this post will be a long one! Ragnar Del Sol was a thrilling, challenging, exciting, nerve-wracking and unbelievably fun 36 hours of my life. The entire experience practically blew by from when we drove to the starting line at 3:00 am Friday morning to […]

February Festivities
Hello, February! I’m already feeling the love this month, courtesy of Michaels. I had to stop myself from picking up an Easter-themed door hanging, too. One holiday at a time. Although I will say that the coupons on the Michaels app make it hard to resist (and no, Michaels did not ask me to say […]

Arizona Restaurant Week: True Food Kitchen
It seems only fitting that a food blogger would move to a new state just in time for restaurant week. I’ve had the chance to try two amazing restaurants with great deals and good company, once with family and once with a wonderful group of women and new friends. First up was a familiar favorite: […]
