Butterfingers are one of those candy bars that I always want to throw into my cart when I am waiting in line at the grocery store. They are chocolatey but not too chocolatey.

This one is another dairy free one for you all. It is also a healthy one since it is mostly peaches (seriously - the added sugar is tiny.) The best part is that it ... continue reading...

LOCATION: Jorge's Old Colorado City DETAILS:Printed Romper || Toms Bag || Rocksbox Jewelry (use code: oakandoatsxoxo for first month free!)

We have also turned them into "take fun photos of Beth for her blog" so that is also exciting! I cannot tell you how important it is to marry someone you enjoy being around. This man has ... continue reading...
