Because, Martha said so.

I have been slacking again, I know. But yesterday my husband was throwing up all day. And like any good wife I had to take care of him! Soup, saltine crackers, Tiramisu cake, 7-Up, Nyquil. Today he is finally feeling better. I don't want to blame it on the food we had the night before, but what else could [...]

Cinnamon dulce latte, please.

My sweet husband kicks himself cringes a little inside every time I spend $3+ on a soy latte. So, with some of our wedding gift cards I convinced him that we needed an espresso machine at home. I will admit, I was a little intimidated by that machine at first and it took me a few months to finally start [...]
