Hello everyone! Just a quick post today – I’m on the tail end of one of the worst stomach viruses I’ve ever had in my life (yuck) so I thought I’d keep this short & sweet. Since the only things I’m really consuming right now are liquids, what better time than to share this cranberry…

Happy 2016, everyone!! I hope all of you had a wonderful New Year’s Eve! Did any of you make resolutions? I kind of have mixed feelings about resolutions, because they never really seem to stick. I can’t even remember what mine were from last year! But I also think that it’s a really nice tradition…
