Family Travels
If you live in New York or have recently visited, you know that it’s sweltering here. The temperatures have been topping 100 degrees every day, and needless to say, we’ve been spending most of our time indoors. Even opening the front door to get the mail lets in so much steamy air, I feel ready […]
Looking for a delicious adventure? Enter for your chance to win a trip to Belgium, where delicious Biscoff cookies and Cookie Spread are made, and read on for more yumminess! It was only this last year that I discovered cookie butter, a creamy, delicious, unbelievably incredible butter made from cookie ingredients. It tastes as good […]
I’ve never tried this. Looks like a good way to get Sweet T to try new foods.
I have never tried this cookie spread and will definitely look for it the next time I shop.
Those bites are adorable. I recently tried biscoff for the first time. Life changing, I tell ya!
I’ve never tried Biscoff before, but will check my local grocery this evening. I’d love to enter the contest. A trip to Belgium would be awesome! I wouldn’t mind coming in 2nd or 3rd place, either. 🙂
I know! I tried the Trader Joe’s version, and it has so many blech ingredients that I couldn’t justify buying it again, and this one is all natural- love!
I absolutely adore Biscoff – it is so versatile and makes everything taste better!
I like the idea of using cereal with the Biscoff Spread. The kids sure would enjoy them!
I saw this in the market a few weeks ago and it looked interesting. Since you like it, I will give it a try!
I;ve seen this product in stores but I’ve never tried it. It looks yummy.
I’ve never heard of Biscoff before but it looks dangerously delicious!
Why have I never heard of this? I have to try this, I am already searching the site to see what local stores carry it.
On a side note, I have a friends daughter who is allergic to nuts and she always feels left out when people have Nutella, I’ll have to grab an extra jar for them.
My husband tried cookie butter for the first time last month and was trying to get me to try it, too. But I refrained. I’ll have to tell him about this one since he loved it so.
I’ve never tried Biscoff spread but it sure looks delicious.
I need to try this DESPERATELY.
I’ve never heard of this brand, but I’d love to try it. What stores sell it?
Those fun bites are so fun!! I bet they are a hit!
I’ll have to try this spread. It sounds delicious!
Being the biggest peanut butter lover I know and having a weakness for Nutella, I am always looking to add new butters and spreads to my snacking. You had me here with cookie!
I LOVE the biscoff cookies, I am going to have to check out the spread I bet I could come up with some tasty stuff with it.
I adore, adore, adore Biscoff Spread — I love baking with it or just eating it on apples. SO good.
Those fun bites are totally cute!
Me too, and I love to mix the crunchy one into ice cream!
I love that you paired it with fruit – sweet yet still healthy!
I love those little balls above. Don’t they look good!
Hrmm. . I’m going to have see what’s in this. It looks tasty 🙂
I’ve been playing around with the biscoff in a few recipes lately.
How have I not heard of this spread? I NEED to try this.
I want to win!
Isn’t that the most delicious, yummy and delectable treat?!
This looks delish! I definitely need to try this with fruit.
I have never had this before, but keep seeing everyone posting about it, so it must be good.
OMG Those fun bites look so good and super easy!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Rivet & Sway. I always loved the sexy librarian look…maybe because I love to read and want to imagine myself as a hottie despite being bookish. When I see someone sporting the geek chic look and pulling it off, it inspires me to want […]
Want this, love it! Great bag
I love these frames on you! You look beautiful in anything you put on but the Faster Pussycat is definitely the most flattering!
Entered! That bag is SO cute and I definitely need some new glasses! Thanks for the giveaway! Fingers crossed!
gorgeous bag and i love the @rivetandsway website, so many pretty frames!
I love the one you picked. You look great!
Entered! You are absolutely adorable!
I love those frames on you! I have been wearing glasses every minute of every day since 1st grade and have never looked that good in them!
I want this for me.
Wow, nice bag
I love that Marc Jacobs hobo and I actually need a new pair of frames. I hope I win!!
I like #2, mine are similar in brown.
Love these shades, especially because I am allergic to contacts…really! MJ bags are fantastic too, what a great all around neutral! Wonderful combo to kick off the back to school season for the already graduated way too long ago crowd! jl
You look stunning in the frames you chose and I just love all of the candid photos you included.
If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield and protect it. You never abuse it. You don’t expose it to the elements. You don’t make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made […]
That is so true! Marriage is only as strong as those that work to protect it and not abuse it!
Tantrums, poutiness, exponential stubborness, rebellion, daring, extreme curiosity, and fan of the words “No!” and “You go away!” He’s only three, folks, but acts like he’s going on 13. And he doesn’t want to share, either. (and still, i utterly adore him)
Ahhhh 3 year olds…so cute and so frustrating all at the same time, lol.
This sounds all too familiar – my 4 year old daughter is going through the same thing. Gotta love it because it’ll be gone before you know it.
Gorgeous photo Penelope and serious captures the “tantrum” perfectly. My little guy is starting to get into his 2-year-old phase. Sigh.
how could you not. Even with tears you want to give him a huge hug and make it all better.
Sounds like such an independent boy. I bet he’ll be a great leader when he gets older. He is so adorable.
My two teenagers have that face, too. You love ’em no matter what, though. Pouty faces, rivers of tears, they are still gorgeous.
We still have bouts of that but it was an all-day, every-day issue for a little bit a few months ago. Hang in there mama!
So not a fun stage. I remember Zoe at 3 and wanted to hide haha. Thank goodness she grew out of it, because she cried 24/7. Such a sweet pouty photo.
Definitely normal behavior. I think they start to learn they have an opinion and they want to see how much they can use it.
He looks so cute when he’s bad.
Oh my! I’m think I’m an anomaly and my daughter never went through that stage when she was little. Now though at 17….ai yi yi! LOL. He is a cutie for sure though 🙂
Ah, the threenager. 3s are awful!
Awww, the terrible threes. Been there, done that 🙂 He’s still adorable.
Awwww.
That is awesome! He is a threenager!
My 7 y/o is definitely at that stage, lol.
Oh yes, I remember this stage well.
Awwww, the tears….he looks so sad but still such a little cutie.
Oh boy, and let me tell you it only gets worse. My oldest just turned 13, and the moodiness is about to kill me.
Yep. Dealing with the same thing in my 3 year old.
Ah, the memories lol! It’ll be over before you know it!
3 was such a hard hard year for us. I’m praying 4 gets better! He is so cute though!
Aww.. I’m in this same exact situation with my 3yo. She just told me yesterday that she wanted a new family because mommy broke her heart when I put her in time out.
If anyone can let me know when this stage ends, that would be great. My oldest is 9 and I am rather tired of waiting.
Oh my gosh! How do you respond to that, that would break my heart!
The first time I heard her say something similar to that, it completely broke my heart. I was in tears and my husband reminded me that she’s only 3 and doesn’t mean it. However, when she was upset with my husband, she scribbled a note, handed it to him and said, “That says you’re a mean daddy!”. He didn’t take it so well.
What a face! At age 3 my son went through quite a stage of temper tantrums.
My daughter is going through a similar stage at 5.
3 is a tough age.
Then they stop and start this up again when they are tweens! I swear!
We are right in the thick of that too.
I remember that stage well, occasionally all mine still go through it haha
I can’t help but laugh because it’s so hard to take it seriously after the fact!
Oh dear. The closer Sweet T gets to her 3rd birthday the bossier and more dramatic she’s getting. We’re probably in for it!
Ah, the photo breaks my heart, yet is is bad that I think it’s cute, too? LOL.
He is just too cute even crying.
We are there too! Not a happy moment for us!
I hope M doesn’t go through this phase. I’m not sure my heart could take it! I’m dreading the “I don’t love you”..
Ice coffee is the only coffee I can drink in the summer.
