Ah, Summer. Season of weddings and first dances. For some, learning the perfect dance can be just as beneficial and effective as premarital counseling. For me, this one activity became an object lesson in how to lead and how to follow – on and off the dance floor.

If you are like me (someone who loves food, especially snacks) you probably have a lot of mess going on in your pantry. Mine has always looked like a tornado ran through it. It’s just pure unorganized chaos in there every time the door is opened. My husband and I have always tried to keep it neat. We tried organizing it in categories: pasta, soups and mixes on one shelf, cereal, granola bars, ... Read More »
