fun foods: double chocolaty chip red velvet cookies

First of all, shout-out to Pinterest. Last week on my coupon trip I scored three boxes of red velvet cake mix for free.

When I was younger I thought I was never going to get married. I thought I would be lonely forever. Turns out, I was wrong. Thankfully. I count my blessing for having an amazing husband. I’m grateful for all the things that he has done for me. I’m grateful for his hard work, he never gives up on what he believes. I’m grateful for… Read More
