I do, and I have a feeling that I’m not alone because I see all those Instagram photos {#mealprepping} and the myriad of other bloggers who post about how they use Sundays to plan for the week ahead. We all want to have the best week ever and planning ahead to make that “dream” come true is why there are so many of us who use Sundays to plan for “the best week ever”!

The Sanderson sisters – Winifred, Sarah, and Mary – were a trio of diabolical witches that were executed in the 17th century but “thanks to a combination of a spell spoken before their demise and the accidental actions of Max, the new-kid-in-town, the sisters […]

Wanderlust Wednesday: Downtown Knoxville, Tennessee

October 24, 2018 No Comments
