{S’mores cupcake at Cupcake Couture}

With another round of freezing temps I remained homebound for the majority of the week. I was able to catch up on a lot of housework and finish reading the first two books in the Divergent series (anyone else hooked on these books?!). While it was refreshing to have some down time, I am looking forward to getting out of the house this weekend and try a new restaurant in town. Have a great weekend!

This week has been about growth. After an inspiring blog network
twitter chat I decided to take the plunge and purchase my first ad space. I honestly love blogging and hope to expand my audience. I am so thankful for each and every one of you who have been along on this ride with me from the beginning and I can’t wait to see where we are headed. I have big plans for 2014, so keep checking back!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

{In love with the salted carmel macaroons at our local bakery}

This was a week of explorations. I stumbled across a local bakery that filled my craving for macaroons, discovered a fresh juice bar, and attended a winter farmers market. It was exhilarating to realize I have only scratched the surface of what my new city has to offer and I am looking forward to a weekend filled with trying out new restaurants and playing in the snow.
