Here's my submission for Project 52. The picture above and below were taken by me at Zion National Park in Utah.
I would love to have a white/ gold or even silver holiday decor theme. This year we are going with our New York Giants Red, White, Blue, and Silver color scheme again this year. Sometimes I wish our home had a "great room" you know. One of those picture perfect rooms that no one is really allowed to sit in? or even a family room so no one would pay attention to our actual living room. A girl can, dream, right? Anywho, I found these items while shopping at my local Joann's craft store. And, I'm in love with the items below (and have my eyes on them.
Anywho, do you have a Holiday decor theme or color scheme in your home?
Here's my submission for Project 52. I'm not really sure what I did right to capture this beautiful Bokeh picture. However, I kept on snapping until I got it right. I was, however going to watch a tutorial on it if I could not figure it out. I used my Canon T3 (not the misters T3i) the lense is the Canon 50mm
The holiday season is upon us and for me this is my actually my favorite time of the year. Holiday season at one point was a very stress time of year for me. It's not as if money just appeared right? However, I learned very fast about strategically planning for the Holiday season. I also learned very fast about knowing my limit and letting people know upfront that I would not be purchasing gifts for them. On a better note, I have been using some great resources to help me save.
Barter services- I am not the biggest fan of bartering services. However, if you're good at baking and you have a friend good at crafts. Why not barter services, you bake, they craft.
Ebates- Ebates is one of my new favorite apps/websites. I learned about Ebates a couple of years ago... I'm not sure why I was so hesitant about to trying Ebates. I am was not so great at using it at first. However, I'm getting better. I also ask my self prior to going to the stores would it be cheaper for me to purchase the items online or "ship to store" if I'm going to be in that area?
Hip2Save- I try my best to check this site daily. I actually found a London fog winter coat for my son for under $20 the original price was $80. I can not be everywhere all the time so Hip2save is my place where I can learn about great deals. I've been using this site as a resource for over 3 + years now.
Ibotta- I am still getting into the groove of using this app. I learned about this app last year. You have to remember to upload the receipt... If I can save a dollar here or there to make sure my budget is in line.
I know this is a super short list. However, you will be surprised at how fast your savings start to add up.

It's is officially Red Cup season. You guys know my beverage of choice at Starbuck is a Chai Latte with Soy Milk. I even have my mini down for the action. Of course, he is only allowed to drink hot chocolate.
Anywho, are you a Starbucks red cup fan? Any Starbucks copycat recipes?
If you follow me on Snapchat or Instagram. You know I am currently in love with my version of eggs benedict. I watched a YouTube video and decided that I would give it a try. The only issue is that I am not a fan at all of runny eggs. It's just not my jam. I decided to poach egg whites and bam. My favorite breakfast meal was created. Okay, so I know the traditional eggs benedict includes ham. However, you guys know I do not eat meat...
Anywho, I even have the Mister hooked. I have now decided to get a little fancy and add avocado and it taste simply tasty. This paired with my Chai Latte and my mornings are super awesome.
Anywo, Any new breakfast treats?
