I am a big believer in reviews. I love to read others’ input for products and experiences, and I take them very, very seriously! If I’m looking to find a new restaurant and see a lot of bad reviews, I’ll read the comments to figure out why. If I’m on Goodreads and I see a book has a low number…

Gameday: Baked Chicken Wings
Last weekend contained elements of all my favorite things. My sweet friend Kristina drove in from Dallas to have a girls’ weekend. Our first night in, we sat in onesies, ate chili dogs, mac and cheese, drank wine, and talked for hours. If you can have a serious conversation with a grown woman sitting in a onesie while eating a…
