Viral Chick-fil-A Order Recipe (Hot Honey Chicken with Kale Salad)

Food

There is a viral Chick-fil-A order by @SmallerSam_PCOS that has been living in my head rent-free. It consists of ordering a 3-count chicken tender, hot sauce, honey, and a kale crunch salad.

When I had my first child, I underestimated the po When I had my first child, I underestimated the power of a peaceful bedroom to recover postpartum and exist in the newborn bubble. It might sound kind of silly, but I want to create a peaceful haven in my bedroom for postpartum because the newborn trenches are tough! 

I’m going for neutral in here, but more layered, earthy, textured and elevated (without feeling formal). Next up is styling my bed, giving my nightstands and dressers and makeover, and lots more decor and styling! #homediy #pregnancy #bedroommakeover #bedroomdecor
