How in the world are we celebrating my one year blog anniversary for The Blessed Mess?! It's so hard to believe that one year ago today I started this blog! I feel like I'm just starting to finally make good traction and can't wait to see where the next year takes me and my little blog. Thank you to everyone who has supported me in this venture and continues to support me everyday. I appreciate all of you more than you'll ever know! ...

Let’s Talk Tuesday #39
WalMart is now offering their own version of Dunkaroos?? You know where I'll be this week getting some delicious dunking goodness. We are heading out of town this weekend and the weather in NYC is looking a little chilly. Fortunately, it looks like the chance of snow cleared but it looks like we'll be wearing our winter clothes and coats all weekend long! Since my doctor suggested watching my carbs through the end of my pregnancy, I'm getting great inspiration from these 150 Low Carb Meal ...

Or is that just me...? And don't even talk to me about throwing a handful of Skittles or something into ...
Let’s Talk Tuesday #36
Well this is a little disheartening. I guess y'all can ignore my question from last week because apparently it doesn't matter. Much like the majority of Americans, I love Ranch dressing. What's not to love about ranch dressing? It's creamy and delicious and tastes good on pretty much everything. Well, Hidden Valley Ranch is giving away a $35,000 (no, that's not a typo) bottle of ranch dressing inspired by the impending wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Heres my question though, what ...
Let’s Talk Tuesday #35
Our little RVA was named on Forbes "10 Coolest Cities to visit in 2018". How cool is that? Who ever said this was a small town clearly underestimated our food scene! Now that our secret is out, what are your favorite stretch mark products? I used Palmers all through my last pregnancy but the scent is just too strong for me this go round. Target and Hunter are teaming up for a collaboration?! And it launches 2 days after my birthday. All I need to know though is if they'll have boots in ...
