Happy Thanksgiving!

I know this post is a little later than it would usually be, but I just wanted to tell you all how thankful I am for you. My blog has grown by leaps and bounds recently, and all of the credit goes to you all! I am so thankful for the opportunity to write and create, and share it with you.

 I am also very thankful for the friends and family I was blessed enough to have spent time with when we celebrated yesterday. We had some of the most people for dinner we'd had in years, and our house was overflowing with love, food, and thankfulness to be there together. 

I am thankful for my friends who I did not spend Thanksgiving with, as well friends who have been gone to college and returned safely for the Holiday.

I am incredibly thankful for the amazing boyfriend I have had for two years now. He has been such a blessing in my life, and I hope I have the chance to spend many more years with him!

More than anything I am thankful for God, my salvation, and all that he has blessed me with. This has not been an easy few months for my family, and we could not have made it without his help. I thank him for allowing my grandfather to survive the massive heart attack he had. I thank him for keeping my grandmother and dad safe during their time in the hospital. I thank him for helping me adjust to Community College and giving me a better attitude about it. Most of all I thank him for working within those around me who need him more than anything.

Finally, I would like to wish you all a happy and blessed Thanksgiving! I pray you have ample amounts of food and love in each of your houses on this day, and remember how blessed you are to be here in this world God created for us!

Also, if you are crazy enough to venture out Black Friday shopping tonight as I am, I wish you all the best of luck, and here are a few coupons to help you find those amazing deals! Be safe!

2014-2015 Plum Paper Planner!

This is my new  Plum Paper Planner , and is most definitely one of my favorite possessions right now!  It came packaged like this...  I got  this  design, and added on an extra six months, making it an 18 month planner.  That was the really cool thing about this company, everything is customizable.  You can get your name and monogram on certain planner designs for free, you can add extra months like I did, add extra notes pages, budget pages, and more!  The standard planner with an extra six months was $48.75, which was pretty expensive... but it was a Christmas present, and will last me through the first year of college, so I could justify it! It has tabs on the side, which are laminated and reinforced  One of the first pages in the planner is a full 2015 planner, and on the next pages a 2016 calendar.  Each month begins with two note pages, which...

Graze, February 22-28

This is the box I got from the Graze company, which I heard about while listening to Pandora! This was from the week of February 22-28, and was completely free!  This was how the outside looked... Upon opening it, I saw it was very similar to the Nibblr box I received about two months ago, but I like it better!  The first thing on top was a paper explaining the box, with little friends and family coupons with my referral code on it ( 6FZ4FVQVP ) and on the back it had the nutrition facts for the snacks, which was really handy.  The first snack was Key Lime Pie, which consisted of: lime raisins, mini meringues, vanilla cookies, and green raisins Well... I wasn't really a fan of this one.  The green raisins and the mini meringues were ok, and my friend liked the cookies, but I am just not a fan of lime.  These were oat spelt and cocoa cookies with a cherry compote to dip them in! I loved these! The cooki...
