    Pretty picture Leigha! Looks like you had a great weekend! That dessert looks amazing! Grandmas desserts are always gonna be the best! You had a lot of good eats this weekend, and you even tackled the snow! Hopefully it starts to go away soon…..but from what I remember of Michigan….it doesnt till like April!

    Looks like a rockin’ weekend, Leigha! I don’t know if I commented on any of your pictures/posts before, but your hair for Snowcoming looks beautiful!
    Congrats on conquering your fears at that brunch tooβ€” it looks delicious!
    I just stayed at home by myself for the Super Bowl since I had homework to do (luckily we have a snow day today though!). But I also vlogged because I was lonely πŸ™‚
