Thanks for visiting! I'm Alicia, the author of this blog, and I love sharing bits of our life here and on social media.

Today was my little sister’s 13th birthday and while debating on what I should get her, I thought about every other special occasion that was coming up this Spring and Summer for my family. I decided to make a list because… well, that’s just what I do :) March- Stepmom’s birthday and Sinisa’s (fiance) birthday … Read more

Before a couple weeks ago I rarely cleaned and I … Read more
