Time for a another cocktail hour at home
This week we’re doing cocktail weenies wrapped in bacon, topped with brown sugar and baked. Then brushed with bbq sauce.
And we paired it with a pear ranch water! OMG! I had no idea pear was so delicious!
But I’m obsessed!

My hair has been thinning and my skin is so dry. I think the hard water in my shower is part of the problem and I’m hoping this will help

Protein hot chocolate for the win! I used my homemade fudge sauce which is easy and delicious mixed with @fairlife vanilla protein shakes. This doesn’t taste like a “healthy alternative” at all.
It is so freaking good and tastes just like the real deal. Plus, it’s a fun festive drink to have during the holidays while being filling and 26 grams of protein.

This might sound really silly but I dream about the day that my kids are adults and have their own children and families and everybody comes to my house for a Christmas dinner and gingerbread house decorating party. My hope is to lay the foundation right now while my kids are a little that we do this every year and it becomes their favorite tradition to the point where they feel like they could never miss Mom‘s gingerbread house decorating party.

Makes me so happy to host this and I want it to grow every single year! as the kids get older, I feel like there should be categories that they can win; most candy used, most traditional, most creative, ect.

Skin. care items that merit sent me. The moisturizer is good, the face ewash is good but $$, the glow serum is worth every penny and I will be buying again.

Merit sent me their concealer, blush, and eye shadows. I love the blush and eye shadows and will buy them again. The concealer is okay, but not my favorite.
