I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: One of the best things about blogging is the community and the friends you make. If you had told me ten years ago that I would one day fly to Boston to hang out with two women I’ve never met in person, I would have thought you were nuts (or that I was nuts). But that’s exactly what I did. [Read more…]
October was, without a doubt, the month of the pumpkin. Did you catch the #virtualpumpkinparty? If you didn’t see it, you should absolutely go check it out right now. Over seventy bloggers provided some wonderful-sounding pumpkin recipes for you last week, and I want to make all of them. (I’m still working my way through reading all of those lovely posts.)

Today is really exciting because I’ve partnered up with Liz from Floating Kitchen to bring you these popsicles and a giveaway.

Liz has become a very good “blog friend” to me recently. We have bonded over our love for things like chocolate and bourbon, and we’re hoping to meet up in person someday soon so we can indulge in those loves together. She also gets swag points from me because she lives on an island. I must admit – I get a little jealous whenever I see her beach pics (with her cute pup) on Instagram. One day I would love to live by the beach! If Liz could be my neighbor that would just be even better. [Read more…]
