Food Ordering Habits

  It could be said that I'm a picky eater (and I can imagine my mom just crowed in laughter at that understatement). I am a LOT better than I used to be as a kid, for sure, but I still tend to find something I like and just stick to that. I don't mind trying...

Kid at Heart

Tuesday 10 – Favorite Movies

I'm joining up with Lena and several other ladies in the weekly Tuesday 10 themed posts. This week's theme is Favorite Movies. Choosing a favorite (or 10) of anything is hard for me, so I narrowed it down to movies that I can easily watch over and over and still love....
