Thank you CLIF Kid for sponsoring this post. Be sure to check out the new CLIF Kid Zbar Filled and encourage your kids to get outside and play! Every child is born with the desire to learn. Babies put everything in their mouths, toddlers try to repeat new words, and 3-year-olds never stop asking "why?" That child like wonder and pursuit of knowledge is built in. Sometimes along the way we can lose that hunger for knowledge. It can be because of hard times in school, life's stressors, or the ... continue reading...
Our Engagement Story
Last week I shared our "How I met my Husband" story with you. It was an Ask Elizabeth question and since our 5th anniversary just happened to be on a Friday, I answered that one to celebrate. I wanted to piggy back of that with our engagement story! It's pretty crazy that all these years I have been blogging, I never wrote much about our dating, engagement, and wedding story. I wasn't blogging seriously (or really at all) during that time. It is kind of a bummer since one of the reasons ... continue reading...
Morning Musings
Thank you illy for sponsoring this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own! It's been awhile since I just sat down to write.

It's Wednesday morning and I feel like I am still ... continue reading...

It's also magical timing because today is our 5th wedding anniversary! When I saw this question pop up in our Ask Elizabeth folder and I realized our anniversary was on a Friday, it all came together. So today's post is "How I Met my Husband" but the alternate title of this blog post is "Five Years" (See Posts on Year ... continue reading...
Strawberry & Watermelon Sorbet Cocktail
Thank you Perrier for sponsoring this post. All thoughts and options are my own! I finally pulled out my ice cream maker from my bottom cabinet and set out to make watermelon sorbet. I love making ice cream recipes but for some reason this summer my maker sat unused. We were busy, traveling, working, doing a million other things. That's okay - I could let it get me down (think of all the ice cream I could have made) but really, some seasons just require different things. Despite my lack of ice ... continue reading...
