You pour a glass of Sauvignon Blanc on the patio, and by the time you finish telling a story it's warm soup. Dragging out an ice bucket means dripping water everywhere, refilling ice, and your bottle label peeling off like sad wallpaper.

If you're someone who wants protein-packed snacks ready to grab from the fridge but keeps ending up with cracked shells and green yolks, this lineup took me from wasting a dozen eggs every Sunday to having perfect ones stacked and ready.

There are so many things I love in the fall, from decor to weekend activities. Here are some things I'm loving this season that put me in the autumn cozy mood.
I lived in ABQ for 10 years before moving. My parents still live there and so are majority of my friends. When I visit, we normally frequent all these food spots I've been to several times in my life and thoroughly miss.
My family of 3 and 6 fur babies are regulars at Sam's. Not much has ever disappointed me here and it is almost always more cost effective for my family. In the past we only would do the reg membership but we upgraded the last year for the bonus of shipping. (free shipping for orders over $50) Since most items are quite heavy, shipping costs are insane. If you frequently prefer to ship items to your door, I would go for the plus membership. If you prefer to shop in store, I would do the regular membership. Also, in my area gas is almost always significantly cheaper here. The lines are long if you go at peak times, but I often wait anyways because saving money where I can is helpful. I have linked some of my most repurchased items, and I hope it helps you and your family.
Coffee lovers this is your time to shine! With out breaking the bank, let’s set up your perfect coffee station!
I found the best finds and all you have to do is shop! ☕️🤎
I love to eat so I wanted to share all of the places I’ve been all over the world. Plus maybe it will make me travel more than I have already so I can share more cool places with yall !
My husband has lost a great deal of weight eating keto. His focus was to bring down his weight and sugar levels to be able to get off his medication. We have found great meal and snack options that work well for him. Meals are mostly just protein and veggies. I don't typically make potatoes or pasta anymore. My son really wanted lasagna recently, so I just took half the ground beef and made taco meat and let him use the other half for lasagna. That way, they both could eat something that they wanted.
Whether you're watching with the girls, your man (who claims he hates this show) , or just vibing solo in your robe….these are the snacks and sips to get you through the crash outs and the couples. Judgment? Yes but never on the snacks.

They have so many ways to customize how I make my drinks and meals, so that I'm always pleased with the outcomes. They're also aesthetically-pleasing, which is nice for those that I leave out on my countertop,
