customizable t-shirts for kids.
All kids have their own adorable way of pronouncing words when they first learn to speak.

So, I’m putting it out there to…

easy taco soup recipe for busy nights.

This recipe is pretty big for our family of 4 and I usually have leftovers to serve the following night, {and who doesn’t love leftovers?}. Taco Soup 1…

You will need: 1 cup of light brown sugar 4-6 Tbsp. olive oil 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract a small, wide-mouth container with a lid Stir ingredients until combined, adding oil…
