Surprise! I'm being spontaneous. At least that's what I am calling my accidental blog migration. I thought I was playing it safe (and planing ahead), when it turn I was actually changing everything about my blog. After a Monday that left me crying more than once, a million emails to support, and a thrown together "maintenance page" while I rushed to make as many of the links work as possible, I'm still alive and Oak + Oats has a new look. I'm just laughing over here because that is what would ... continue reading...
Four Years
I'm not going to lie. I feel like I sat down to write my "three years" post just yesterday. I even thought to myself that I already had put together something for our 4th anniversary but I was thinking of what I wrote last year.

Instagram Stories
Let's talk Instagram stories! Last week I opened my Instagram account and it was as if Snapchat had taken over (except it was WAY more easier to navigate than Snapchat ever was for me!)

It is a lot of that Snapchat vibe but in an easy to manage place - our Instagram accounts! Not everyone is sold yet on Instagram ... continue reading...
Reese’s Peanut Butter Ice Cream
I guess summer is alive over here in the Mayberry house. I am overproducing on the ice cream front and taking up all the room in the freezer these days. Feel free to come over and eat your way through the goodies - I'm getting in trouble for being a freezer hog ;) Now, please don't hate me, but I don't like the peanut butter and chocolate combo. YIKES. But I made this for the people who frequent this house the most (shout outs to: Bruce the husband, Josh the basement dweller, and Meg the best ... continue reading...
