I don’t really know where the year went. Do you? The months feel like a quick blur although November seems forever ago and spring is a far off memory. I took a look back on the year to round up some of my top favorites in 2021 in all of the important categories. While I’m […]

Yesterday, I was all excited to report that it was already Tuesday. And now today, while I’m thrilled it’s already Wednesday, it almost snuck up on me in some ways. Like, oh, I need to post about food today? Ok, shoot, let me pull something together. I was in the city at Bloomingdale’s on July […]

Thinking Out Loud 3.17.16

magnolia bakery chocolate banana pudding

  As I said in last Thursday’s post, I knew we would get to Magnolia Bakery for the chocolate banana pudding before we would get to the lululemon outlet. Only thing is, my son ate the pudding and didn’t share with me. The most I got was a picture of the lid. He made sure to […]

This week has been weird because my son has been sick for most of it. It started out as I don’t feel well which I took as I don’t feel like going to school which then turned into he wasn’t kidding and he’s real sick. The positive side to this is that he hasn’t been […]

  First things first. If you knew about this Gloria Jeans coffee flavor and didn’t tell me, I am reconsidering our friendship. Brown Sugar Cake?! It is like THE BEST coffee flavor ever to the point where I think it rivals my all-time favorite coffee, Green Mountain’s Golden French Toast. Or maybe, which is entirely possible, it tastes just about identical […]

It isn’t often that you find people who actually care to hear you ramble on about a fudge cake or a delicious restaurant. In fact, my friends and family often look at me funny when I take cake selecting and restaurant menus so seriously. I’m so glad you share in my excitement just so I can […]

Robert McAvoy 5 Mile Race Recap (2013)

When I turned 35 a few months ago, I entered a new age bracket. And, I have concluded that checking the 35-39 box isn’t half bad. I decided at the last minute to run the Robert McAvoy 5-mile race in Long Beach yesterday morning and actually finished second for my age group. The weather was icky, sticky and misty. The boardwalk […]
