Manuel and I have been trying to get better at budgeting (scratch that – Manuel is great at budgeting, I have been trying to get better!) When we sat down in May to review everything we had spent the past month, one thing was clear that we could cut back on… going to coffee shops for coffee. Since I work from home, typically I drink my Cameron’s Coffee first thing in the morning. I always drink it at home and it is always delicious. What gets me is when I am running errands in the afternoon or going to meetings…

Thelma’s Ice Cream Sandwich
You know that feeling you get when enjoying something truly special? It’s the best!

The best way to shop (in my opinion) is by ordering online and being able to try on everything at home. I searched Amazon for the best swimsuits for summer and here is what I came up with for this Amazon Swimsuit Try-On! Lemon and Black Swimsuit I thought this one was so cute! The top can be worn so many different ways and it is super flattering with the high waist bottoms! Black Lace Swimsuit…
June Chef’s Table at Fleming’s in Des Moines
Yesterday Manuel and I got to go try out the June Chef’s Table at Fleming’s in Des Moines. We had such an incredible experience in March that we were dying to get back! The Chef’s Table menu changes with the season and it is different at each of the Fleming’s locations. The Chef Partner works to create a menu that highlights the best features and local produce available at that location. I love that the Chef Partners are able to showcase their creativity and skill throughout these menus! Drinks Manuel’s Selection – The Manhattan Madison’s Selection – Hemingway V&T If…
