Over the weekend, I wanted to make a yummy Valentine’s Day treat. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to make, but my friend gave me a recipe for these very special rice krispie treats stuffed with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and drizzled with chocolate.

I thought this book was such a dreamy story. It made me feel like all my magical dreams were coming true. Star people who live up in the heavens and a young girl who finds out she’s got a destiny much bigger than her dreams of college and dating. Also, it’s own voices with some…

Finally! I finished a book! It was the fourth book of the year and probably the last book I’ll read in January, but I’m just happy to finally have enough mind space to finish a book. I think it helped that the book was super light-hearted with a tiny bit of drama. For some reason,…
