Making Classic Sigmon Christmas Peanut Buttercups
For many years, homemade peanut buttercups have been a coveted and much anticipated item for the holiday season. I have been helping my Mom makes these Christmas goodies since I was about six years old. Back in those days I would stand on a chair just to see over the counter top. After all these years, the tradition continues and it stays connected to the holiday season. Although I do not need a chair to stand on anymore, some things about making these peanut butter cups with my mom never changes. Like how I am the proud owner of the title Peanut Butter Manager, and how my Mom is the…

Grandma and Grandpa’s 65th Anniversary Party
This July 4th was extra special for my Grandma and Grandpa McFarland this year! First, they were the Grand Marshals of the local 4th of July parade. Second, our family threw them a fun 65th wedding anniversary party! This is, of course, a very unique milestone to hit so we took this as an opportunity to celebrate!

I remember the day we dropped him off at his dorm at the beginning of his freshman year, now he had graduated and on the job hunt. They grow up so fast! I was even more personally invested in the last two years of my brother’s undergraduate college experience since I had finally joined him on campus as a student at the University of Illinois. So, to sit on the sidelines and watch my brother Jacob graduate really puts a lot into perspective. There were two different…

At the time I didn’t know it, but I was also predicting one of the biggest trends of spring 2019, too! I know that pastel is typically the colors that come to mind when you think of spring fashion, but I am here to say that there is most certainly plenty of room in the colorful spring market for more bold shades. Today, I want to expand on that prediction by talking a little bit about how you can incorporate neon into your spring wardrobe. #1. Try a bright version…
