The holidays are almost here and after this busy week, I intend to slow down a bit and live in the spirit of the season for the last week leading up to the holidays! One tradition that we have at my house is that I always, ALWAYS make this Holiday Slow Cooker Hot Fudge Sundae Cake on Christmas Day. It is so easy, because it bakes in the crock pot and is ready by lunch (or dinner, if you start it later).

This cake is warm and prepares its own rich hot fudge sauce under the cake while it bakes in the crock pot. So simple and sooo good!

We enjoy serving it with an ice cold glass of Coca-Cola, because chocolate and Coca-Cola are the best combo!

There is a Family Dollar right by my kids school, which makes it SO convenient if I need to pick up soda for a party or any other little items. It's nice to be able to swing in, get what you need and get back out in just MINUTES. Family Dollar will always be my go-to destination for quality products at a great value! Family Dollar had the adorable Coca-Cola 2L bottles with the Limited Edition Holiday Packaging, which is perfect for display at your holiday parties! They also have the holiday packaging in 6 pack glass bottles and aluminum bottles, too!

Now let's get started on the recipe:

My Invisalign Journey (Trays 9-15) and Progression Photos

Today I am going to share a little more about My Invisalign Journey with you. Back in May, I shared my first Invisalign post HERE and talked about my first 8 trays with Invisalign. Today I am going to share some information and progression photos for Trays 9-15. And, no, I am not done with Invisalign yet. After your first round of trays (I had 15 trays), they start revision trays. Unfortunately, I found out I have 18 revision trays... I am currently on tray 3 of those. I will continue to share updates as my progress continues. I talk about why I went with Invisalign and what the entire process was like in my first post (see link below). I am not going to repeat it all in this post, but I will share my progression photos with you. If you have any questions, be sure to let me know in the comments.

Y'all! I DID IT! 2016 Chicago Marathon Recap!!!

I am really excited to share this post with all of you today. I have been wanting to run a marathon for a really, really, REALLY long time. I was too afraid to do it, I was afraid I would fail. I started out running in 2009 after I had my daughter and signed up to run 500 miles in one year with friends I met on  Babycenter   I started out walking and running... but, I did it! I completed 500 miles in 2009. My first 5K was at our local zoo and then I branched out and did a Halloween 10K. After that, I signed up for my first half marathon here in St. Louis and my second half marathon was the Wine & Dine at Disney... My first half marathon time was 2:35 and my best has been 2:04 and a HUGE dream/goal of mine is to complete one in under 2:00 hours. But... first I toyed around with the idea of running a marathon.  All  of my running friends kept telling me to JUST DO IT. That I'd do just fine. But, I was sacred.... Finally, 7 years later I have RAN MY FIRST MARATHON! ...
