Day One: Falling In Love With New Orleans

Day One: Falling In Love With New Orleans

I’ve always heard of New Orleans as being a magical place that I needed to come and visit, but I’ll admit I was a bit biased as my only thoughts of New Orleans were that it was a great party city. As I mentioned before in my Dressy Chic post, I’ve been trying to get to New Orleans for years but I’ve never made it. This previous year I felt this overwhelming pull to make plans to visit New Orleans and I actually had it on my “To Do list” for 2015. I believe in a saying “Words give things Power”,…

How to Survive a Long Distance Marriage.

How to Survive a Long Distance Marriage.

When my husband told me that he was going to begin traveling with his job I thought nothing of it. To be honest, I reveled in the idea of being able to have some time off from my wifely duties of cooking and having to deal with household stuff immediately. I was excited at the thought of me having four whole days to myself. I could come home from work and not worry about what was going to be for dinner, I would be able to sleep in my bed without waking up to loud snorts or snores, I could…

As the New Year continues on (can you believe it’s almost February?) I’m working to incorporate some new things…

Day Movie Date and Selma

Day Movie Date and Selma

One of my goals this year was to get out of the house and stop being a homebody. It’s hard because I love to just lounge around, cuddle with my husband, and do stuff in the house. My husband loves to go to the movies but since I never want to go he stopped going as well. Yesterday I surprised him when I asked him if he wanted to go to the Movies to see the newly released Selma.  We decided to go to an earlier movie in the afternoon so I could get some errands done afterward. Usually I…
