St. Patrick’s Day may forever be a letdown.

We didn’t go out this year for St. Patrick’s Day.  Honestly, St. Patrick’s Day lost a lot of its allure when I had to go gluten-free and could no longer drink real beer. St. Patrick’s Day used to be my favorite holiday and Guinness used 

2013 March Birchbox

The March Birchbox didn’t have a lot of useful products for me and I don’t think I’ll be ordering any of the full-size products.  I’m kind of hate getting shampoo/conditioner samples because I already have a ton from all over the place.  Same with face 

Sunday Social: Seasons

It’s Sunday Social day where Ashley and Neely post questions each week for people to answer on their blogs and a linkup.  I’m posting two days late, but I already had it mostly ready to go, so here it is. 1. Favorite thing to do

Easy Gluten Free Texas Sheet Cake

Easy Gluten Free Texas Sheet Cake

My mom used to make Texas Sheet Cake a few times a year when we were kids.  I never knew why it was called Texas Sheet Cake, but I guess because it’s big?  She’d usually make it for cookouts and family reunions and such – 

What you should know if we’re going to be friends forever

I’m linking up with Little Miss Momma for “Things you should know about me if we are going to be friends forever”.  It’s actually supposed to be “bff’s” instead of “friends forever”, but I think friends forever is more appropriate because how many bff’s can
