Saturday morning was epic. I sat down at a lovely table to eat my breakfast with some fabulous bloggy friends when all of a sudden Genevieve from Disney Junior’s CHOO CHOO SOUL took the stage. The whole room erupted into song. All aboard the choo choo train! I thought it couldn’t get any better. But… [Read More]
Hair chronicles: how often do you wash it?
I have a love/hate relationship with my hair. I imagine most women do. We’re never happy with what we have. Mine is naturally wavy, which really means it frizzes fairly easily and can’t just be left to do it’s own thing. If I don’t blow dry it, it’s a hot moss. Of course, blow drying… [Read More]
This is 36 (and my word for the year!)
It’s kind of nice having your birthday at the beginning of the year. New year, fresh start. For most of last year, if anyone asked my age, I said 36. Oops. I guess I should consider it a bonus that I get to “live” the year over again. I have no idea how I forgot… [Read More]
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie
Last night, my sister, cake maker extraordinaire, ventured out of her usual territory and made my husband a giant Reese’s Cup for his birthday. To say it was amazing, isn’t giving it enough credit. It was RIDICULOUS. I don’t even want to know how many calories were in there, but for ten minutes I didn’t… [Read More]
Disney’s Frozen Will Melt Your Heart {A Movie Review}
I have been eagerly anticipating the opening of Disney’s new animated movie, Frozen, for months. The teasers were terrific. Would it live up to the hype? Would I be disappointed? I found the movie incredibly charming. The story, based on Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen”, is of two sisters (voiced by Idina Menzel and… [Read More]
An open letter to Starbucks – Please bring back your pumpkin bread
My dear Starbucks, You and I have a longstanding relationship. You’ve been a faithful friend and have offered me plenty of drink options during all my phases of life: Vanilla Latte, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Creme Brulee Latte, Coffee Frappacino, Hazelnut Macchiato, Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappacino and my standard, the Chai Tea Latte. When I worked… [Read More]
I’m not a therapist, but I play one in the air.
I’m not a therapist. I have been married for almost nine years and in a committed relationship with my husband for over fifteen years. But that doesn’t make me an expert on relationships. But for some reason I’m still thinking about you, the 25 year old man from Chapel Hill who sat next to me… [Read More]
All Because of Macklemore
I’m having a bit of a moment. And it all started because of some song on the radio that annoys me because it’s mostly spoken. You know the one “When I was in the third grade, I thought that I was gay.” Every time it comes on, I change it almost immediately. Until last week. … [Read More]
Pop Century: An Affordable Disney World Resort
Planning a Disney trip and looking for an affordable option for lodging? You should definitely check out the Pop Century Resort, a Disney value property. Designed with fads from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, this property has lots of fun visuals for the family to enjoy. Rooms are pretty basic and don’t have… [Read More]
Sometimes I’m just ridiculous
I’m not a huge fan of bugs. I mean, I know they have their place in the world order and all, but they freak me out. Bees, wasps, cockroaches, flies and mosquitoes have the ability to make me act like a five year old kid. It’s not pretty. Last night, as I was getting myself… [Read More]
