I may be in the minority in this, but I enjoy back to school shopping. There’s something about having a huge list of items and going down the aisles throwing things in the cart and crossing things off a list that is so satisfying! Then, I take my ear pods out and can hear my kids say things like “can’t I get a cool notebook?!” “Where’s the folders with the cute pictures, these are ugly!?” “Last year so-and-so had a cool composition book and mine was boring!”

I want to start off and let you know I had to google what the difference between a ‘remodel’ and ‘renovation’ is for this post. A remodel is making changes to the structure, while a renovation is more like a restoration. Now that we’re all in the know on that, I’m...

Toasted S’more Espresso Martini

Toasted S’more Espresso Martini

Espresso Martinis have taken this generation by the hand and led us to a land where we don’t have to choose between coffee and alcohol on a night out on the town. LOL! It’s a drink that makes heads turn and the entire table will order one as soon as they’re mentioned....
