I have no idea why I like Meghan Trainor's songs so much. She's not my typical go to listen, but the words are on the tip of my tongue for days after I hear whatever song it is. Maybe it's because they're funky and fun and truthful in a way that makes it okay to say...

by Mlissa | Dec 31, 2014 | Life

What is this thing you should be doing? Hell if I know. But when I look on social media, news websites, and magazine covers the word SHOULD is there! It's become one of my two most disliked words of 2014. Let me explain. Should implies that you're not doing something...

Holiday Baking and Homemade Gifts

by Mlissa | Dec 9, 2014 | Holidays, In the kitchen with...

It looks as though the baking aisle in every grocery store in Charlotte has exploded onto my kitchen island. I think I have more chocolate chips than Nestle and Hershey's combined. I have nibs, pieces, chips, sprinkles, icings, and drops. I have flour, flour, and more...
