  • Lasik – Part Two
    I’m back again with an update to my Lasik story. If you haven’t read the first part, I urge you to do so here. I had a follow up with my Lasik surgeon a couple of weeks ago, and they were still concerned about the blurriness of my right eye. It was not healing like… Read more: Lasik – Part Two

    Those that are close to me, or friends with me on snapchat, know that I had laser eye surgery at the end of September.

Listen, this is only my second one, and I’m really not sure if people even ask that often, but I decided to compile a list of things… Read more: Gifts That Moms Really Want for Mother’s Day
  • My Starter Needs a Name
    A couple of days ago, I had my husband pull out my sourdough starter from the fridge so I could give her a feeding and hopefully make some yummy goodness this week.
