Drug Addicts Are Definitely Not Spiking Your Kids Candy This Halloween

October 29, 2015 by Katie Bridges Leave a Comment

We’re always hearing that things were much safer, back in the day. Tales of yesteryear would have us believe that doors were always open, children were free to roam the streets in safety, and the world was virtually empty of the sort of degenerates that seem to abound in the headlines today.

All hell breaks loose, that's what happens! As if we didn't already know, kids + sugar = crazy times.

Halloween Aftermath

November 1, 2013 by Ryan Leave a Comment

I read somewhere recently that experts say sugar doesn’t make kids hyper. In fact the article said that it’s basically “in the parents head” and that we imagine our kids being extra hyper after we know they ate a pile of candy. Well, these experts should swing by my house (I’m sure yours may be the … [Read more...]

Buy Good Chocolate.

October 31, 2013 by Emily 2 Comments

Imagine a world without Chocolate.

October 21, 2012 by Sonya

Can you imagine that idea? A world without chocolate? The thought hadn't crossed my mind before, but it could happen. The world's supply is being consumed faster than we can produce it and toss in Mother Nature's antics - well, the future of the cocoa bean is uncertain.A recent survey (conducted by … [Read more...]

Have a Dessert…or Two!

April 26, 2012 by Jennifer

During my university days I lived with a great group of girls. We were always there for one another, and in times of heartbreak we'd all dress down in sweat pants and head to the amazing bakery down the street. We'd each choose a dessert and bring it back to our house, where we'd eat it out of the … [Read more...]
