How to create the perfect weekly college schedule for online classes
I'm back in college, this is actually my 3rd semester back, but I don't talk about it often. It seems taboo like nobody cares when you're 27 and you're working your butt off to go back to school while juggling family life and work. It's a lot to handle, this past month I've been stressing so much wondering what my workload would be like for 3 classes instead of 2 and 1 of the ...

Meet Lucy
It all started a few weeks before Easter when Aliceana said that she wanted a cat for Easter. It was a strange request coming from the dog loving almost five year old, so we naturally said, "Nope, you have a dog and a cat already." Then the Thursday before Easter, after a particularly crappy day of running errands, we came home and as we were unpacking our groceries this ...

It's impossible to argue, we're officially converted to complete foodies and spend way way too much of our income on dining out. So naturally that obsession has transferred over to our ...
