OH MY F*&CKIN GAWD!

Omg you guys. I read about this stuff online and finally tracked down some a few weeks ago and my life is completely changed. I’m not the same person that I was before this creamy, sweet, delicious treat. This stuff I’m talking about is THIS. The Cookie Dough Café. You may have seen them on Shark Tank. I didn’t, but I’m glad that I saw them. Don't worry - there aren't any raw eggs...

Non-Thirsty Thursday: Pretending to Drink Alcohol When You’re Pregnant

When a woman is of childbearing age, all eyes are on her drink while out with friends. If she’s not drinking, all signs typically lead to pregnancy.

Super Thirsty Thursday: Due for Wine in July

I feel as though it’s time I made this blog official. Our party of two is adding a new, permanent guest this summer! Just as this didn’t turn into a wedding blog when I got married, this will NOT turn into a baby blog...with the exception this next week! Since I’ve been keeping this a secret from this blog space for 5-6 months, I decided to let it all out this week with a series of...

Saturday Shopping: Unicorns

Something that resurfaced a few years back was my confession to my husband that I had a porcelain unicorn collection growing up. We’ve been a couple for about 12 years now and my magical creature collection somehow was kept a secret. Well, just as my secret has been discovered, I’m happy to see that unicorns have made a comeback in fashion and décor. Here’s a round-up of magical unicorn finds! ...
