There are very few things I love more on this earth (food-wise) than a rich and frosty Orange Julius. It takes me back to junior high getting dropped off at the mall for some after-school shopping with friends. Drinking one always brings a smile to my face.

Whistler Restaurant Review| Creekbread Pizza
There are very few things I enjoy more in life than a great pizza.

My kids are so obsessed with all things American Girl right now. And if I have to be honest, I kind of am too. Only because it’s something that is so reminiscent of my own childhood.
