Spirit Riding Free Birthday Party

Our baby turns 7 years old TODAY. A rainy Wednesday day in June, we welcomed this precious soul into our family. She made us girl parents, Paisley a big sister, and has added more joy to our family than I could have ever imagined. She’s an absolute ray of sunshine. I don’t say this just […]

Last week in my meal plan, I used a salsa chicken recipe that is delicious by itself. However, I decided to take it up a notch and elevate the spicy bird into an easy favorite. Who doesn’t love nachos? I wanted to share here BECAUSE this is also a super way to make a meal […]
