Coffee is a huge part of my day. I have a cup every morning to get my day rolling, then I typically have at least one more in the afternoon for a pick-me-up. In addition to a caffeine boost, it has become a ritual that every weekend afternoon Manuel and I sit down together and enjoy a cup while discussing our week. When Cameron’s Coffee first reached out, I immediately drove to my local Hy-Vee grocery store and bought a few different flavors that they offer. I had seen them in multiple stores before, but I hadn’t given them a…
Updating our Living Room with Rugs.com
When we first moved into our current house, we didn’t really have anything. Since we moved from Germany to Iowa, we had to essential buy everything again. This led to a few mis-matched pieces that just didn’t fit. Therefore, I was so excited to update our living room with Rugs.com! *This post is sponsored by Rugs.com, however, all opinions are my own.

Boudoir Photo Shoot Review
Making the decision to share this was certainly a scary one. However, I know from my experience that I was unsure about doing a boudoir photo shoot so if I can help someone else make the decision easier on themselves, then I will be happy! When Cassie, of Modern Boudoir, first reached out to me about doing a boudoir photo shoot, I was nervous. I wasn’t sure what to expect. And while I had always been intrigued with boudoir sessions, I always had an excuse for putting it off. I needed to lose weight first. I needed to wait until…
