Should be it's very own food group...COOKIE BUTTER!

I feel VERY strong about this.

Trader Joe's has a product called Speculoos Cookie Butter.

There is an original and a crunchy version (my opinion, original is the better version).  This is very similar to a peanut butter type product but made with gingerbread and crushed biscuits.  Let me just tell you.  It is HEAVEN in every mouthful.  Some people don't like it, yes I do understand that.
As for me, I think I deserves to be it's very own food group I could eat it that often and not get sick of it.

In fact, I have 2 jars in my pantry at the moment.

Have you ever tried this product?  Have you ever used it in something (like baking) other than eating it with a spoon or spreading it on something?  I use it in a few baking recipes and get RAVING reviews every time (it's my secret weapon, heehee....well not any more)


Tell me what you think?

I just LOVE this stuff. Thank you, Trader Joe's!

Survey for Starbucks...YAY!

Got to do a survey for Starbucks today. YAY!!

Have you ever done one??  Well when you are done you get a dollar off your next purchase. (Hey a $1 off is better than full price)  Well it used to be that when you did these you would get a free DRINK of your choice.  But I guess that started to get pricey.  LOL

I really like the Starbucks location near my office, I only go there once and a while. But when I do I am greeted by name every time by the manager (how she does that I'll never know) and the staff always get the order right.  If they don't, they will make you a new order (no questions asked, EVER).  I love that place.

Is there a place that you've gone that you really like that has made you feel as welcome as this? If so please let me know, I'd love to go or at least know of it so I can be on the look out for it if I'm ever in your area.

Hoping for a fix to the problem.

Apparently there were some BAD things....

some MALWARE...trying to get on my blog here.

I'm hoping I have fixed that.

If you see something please let me know.  I want to be able to fix things if there is a problem.

Thank you for those that brought the problem to my attention.

Just a simple message today!

As simple as that!

I hope you have a GREAT Week!

Hey there all!! I'm so excited. Sunday, May 5th is almost here. Reston Town Center is going to be so awesome and full of excited walkers/runners this weekend. The event is always so much fun. I also can't believe I'm only $30 short of my fundraising goal. OMG!!! Can you all please help me reach it?!?! PLEASE!!! Remember this is a tax deductible donation as well!! Please I'll be working for your money by walking on Sunday! I will post a picture of the team before the walk on Sunday and after I finish as well!! Just like last year. I'm so excited, I feel giddy. I also want to extend so much gratitude to those that have donated funds already. Your generosity really makes my heart swell each time I get a notification and I literally tear up each time. And a few times I've had to get tissues. I've completely surpassed last years donations by 200% WAY TO GO EVERYONE!! Thank you for supporting me and the March of DIMES! Please help me get to my goal!
