My Super Frugal Trip to Belgium- My Day Trip To Bruges
Just letting you know in advance that this is a very, very, very picture heavy post… When I wrote that I was going to Belgium, specifically to Brussels, many people told me that if I was going all the way there, I shouldn’t just stay in Brussels, but also should go to Bruges, called the “Venice […]

Extreme Cooking From Scratch Marathon
Today was cold and rainy, and when the weather is like that, I am usually tempted to cuddle up under a blanket with a good book or a movie. But sometimes, when the weather gets like this, I am tempted to cook and cook and cook and not stop, and that’s what happened today. Today […]
