The Lazy Girl’s French 75

I could call this the Lazy AND Cheap Girl’s French 75, or alternatively, What To Do With Bad Sweet Wine. When a girl is homebound by the dreaded four letter L-word (see my Insta stories for what I’m talking about, rhymes with ice and is representative of what moms endure for their dar...

2018 Kicked My Butt
Posted
I have never liked when bloggers or “influencers” apologize for or explain their lack of posts. For so many, including me, blogging and social media are side gigs and unless someone is paying you for that content, you don’t owe anyone a post or an explanation. That being said, I...
