Night Terrors

She's a light sleeper. Little did I know, she wasn't really up, she was in a deep sleep!

I had my hubby turn the lights on, and still, she screamed. She couldn't be comforted by either of us. By this time she was off the bed, and although I Keep reading...
RECIPE: Super Easy Sprite Biscuits
If you're on Pinterest you may have seen the recipe for 7-up Biscuits floating around. I changed it up a bit and used Sprite instead.

Being that bread is my guilty pleasure, especially freshly baked, I couldn't pass up on this recipe. I'm so glad I tried it, and you should too! It's super easy and uses just four ingredients, most of which I just happened to have at home. Thanks Costco for my giant tub of Keep reading...
