MEGAN LEARNS TO COOK: SNACKS
MEGAN LEARNS TO COOK: SNACKS

I don’t know about you, but I grew up in a household where there wasn’t a huge emphasis on healthy snacking, so I usually went for the bag of chips, cookies and cheddar snack type of treat. Although I’ve broadened my horizons to enjoying foods past what I used to eat at recess, I still fill my pantry with Flamin’ Hot Limon Cheetos and Annie’s Cheddar Bunnies from time to time. I think those types of snacks are totally okay, but maybe not ideal for my everyday. The idea of a “snack” can sound like something you make for a kid, but I usually need a little more fuel to get me from lunch to dinner.

FASHION/BEAUTY ITEMS I’M BRINGING BACK TO MY WARDROBE
FASHION/BEAUTY ITEMS I’M BRINGING BACK TO MY WARDROBE

I think we’re all familiar with the way that fashion trends seem to resemble a sort of cycle: they’re in one decade, out another. In the past couple of years, 90’s fashion was the defining trend until Y2K started to make its comeback. Now, there are definitely some pieces that I’m ready to leave in the past (low-rise jeans seem to be everyone’s enemy), but here are a few items from my childhood that I want to bring back into my life.

CREATING NEW HOLIDAY TRADITIONS
CREATING NEW HOLIDAY TRADITIONS

The holidays are a really special time of year, and Christmas is one of my favorite holidays because it makes me feel close to my family, even if we’re not always in the same place at the same time. Over the years, we’ve fallen into the habits and traditions of the season, but being married to Cooper and having our own home means that we have the freedom to begin new traditions not only in our house but with both of our families.

As a songwriter, I’m always looking for things to inspire a new song, but that spark is often hard to come by. I hit slumps where I don’t want to write or don’t know what to say.
