Trending Post: French Toast your kids will love
I love hanging out at the coffee house as much as anyone else, but sometimes I just want to stay home, curled up with a great book, and enjoying my day. No, no. That’s not entirely true. That’s the coffee commercial version of what’s really going on…I’m just going to say it: I’m not a fan…

I have a shameful admission to make: I don’t like Girl Scout Cookies. I think Samoas might be the Pumpkin Spice Latte of the cookie world. It’s not that it’s so good, you just can’t get it all year long. Does anyone really like Thin Mints, or do we all just pretend so we don’t look…
The new Frozen 2 Trailer from Disney is here today, and I can’t stop watching it. But we have a major issue. Anna is basically a pumpkin spice latte drinking, Ugg wearing basic white girl, and I just don’t know how to feel about that. I guess it kind of makes sense. If you think…

You see, the Pumpkin Spice Latte has its own Twitter account, and they’ve been dropping…
Everyone knows peanut butter & jelly is for kids. You cut off the crusts, cut it into triangles (or squares, if you’re a monster), and serve it with a glass of milk. But somewhere deep inside all of us is a little kid who doesn’t understand why they can’t have naps anymore. Just because you’re…

Look, this is going to make me sound like some kind of hipster-nerd, but seriously, when I was in middle school, reading a book with a dragon on the cover was social suicide. You liked Star Trek? Obviously you lived in your mom’s basement. You dressed as a wizard for Halloween? You were doomed to die a virgin. Now,…
Working at Starbuck during the holiday season is its own type of pumpkin spice flavored hell, but you don’t think about those poor baristas stuck listening to the same songs for six to eight hours. Shuffled or not, it’s enough to make you want to drown yourself in the coffee urn. I swear if I had…
This morning during a casual exchange a friend mentioned that people in our circle are doing a new thing. Together. All of them. So why wasn’t I there? No one invited me. After some stammering and awkwardness on my friend’s part and some painful feelings of disappointment on mine, we moved on. Don’t Settle For…

I did something terrible yesterday. I pulled into the drive-through at Dairy Queen…and drove out without buying anything. If There’s Such Thing As A Retail-People Pleaser, I’m That… Dairy Queen, if you don’t have one where you are, has been advertising these special Blizzards—specifically, this one that’s chocolate ice cream with a marshmallow middle. And since…

How often do you listen to your teenager talk to their friends and just don’t understand a damn word they say? Gone are the days of “sweet” and “wicked”. Now we have phrases like “Curved”, and “It’s lit.”. Here is how you can make some sense out of the crap your teenager says. How To Make…

It’s October first. The day we are supposed to feel the snap in the air, crisp cool breezes, everything pumpkin spice, and Halloween. My favorite holiday of the year. When my daughter was five, I drove her out to the pumpkin patch, we stood next to all the pumpkins, took a thousand pictures, and spent…

I would love to say that I’ve always loved coffee, but that’s totally not true. I mean, I’ve always liked a cup once in a while, but with the measuring of coffee and the resulting too-strong pot that nobody likes…I just never seemed to get it right at home. And don’t get me started on…
I’m at the Corner Bakery in Highland Village. I spend a lot of time here because they have free internet and yummy lemonade. When my daughter is in preschool, I come up here and play Farmville write. But something really disturbs me about this place… There are kids here of all ages at all times…
OMG! Just when I thought I was done collecting things… I am sort of addicted — okay, I straight-up love them — to YA novels. There are WAY too many read — and yet to be read — YA novels hanging out, jam packed on my bookshelf. (Who am I kidding? You can never have…
