If you don’t know what a s’more is, I’m going to have to direct you to this video from the Sandlot. “Hey, you want a s’more?” Actually, even if you do know what a s’more is, I’m still going to need you to watch that video. The scene is a classic and gave us not …
Back in 2011, my friends and I stayed up all night to watch the Royal Wedding. We’d just come off a night out at the end of our senior year and probably all managed to fit in a two-hour nap in some of my friends’ house (otherwise known as Mildred). We gathered on the couch–and …

I know, I know. It’s been over a month since I’ve launched this blog and I’ve yet to post anything other than a cookie recipe. Guess what. That’s all going to change with this post!
