I took the long way home last night and hit the jackpot at a Salvation Army store I’d never been to :) I bought all of this for $21.45… This “brand new with tags” top only cost $3.99! It looks awesome with the $4.99 Gap skirt I bought back in August! I was looking for… Continue Reading
Homemade Iced Tea Recipe

I adapted this from a southern sweet tea recipe that was about 4 times too sweet for my Yankee palate :) Homemade Iced Tea Recipe 6 tea bags 1/8 t baking soda 1/3… Continue Reading
