I had a fun birthday surprise waiting for Mal when he came home from school yesterday! I spelled out “HAPPY B-DAY” on gift bags and then bought a present that started with each of the letters for him. For the letters, I cut up a Happy Birthday sign. For the bags, I recycled ones that [...]

Happy birthday to my wonderful, amazing, and handsome husband! Mal turns 31 today! I don’t want to embarrass Mal with sappy a post (I’ve done that before), so I’ll just say he’s my best friend and the greatest partner I could ever ask for. We also have A LOT of fun together. While I was [...]

My first day at Canyon Ranch was amazing. It was a great mix of stimulating activity and pure relaxation. Basically, it was the best of both worlds. Breakfast I woke up hungry and excited for breakfast this morning. After last night’s delicious dinner, I was really looking forward to breakfast. It’s by far my favorite [...]

Yesterday, we had Mal’s parents over for a Mother’s Day barbeque, but, unfortunately, it rained all afternoon, so we had our celebration indoors.
