The Perfect DIY Starbucks Chai Latte

The Perfect DIY Starbucks Chai Latte

I am an avid Starbucks Chai Latte drinker, but having them as often as I do was starting to add up (they are $3-$5 per drink!). Don’t get me wrong, I love the whole Starbucks experience and culture and really want to support their business, but it’s just not possible to go there every morning. So, I set out to perfect my DIY version and I nailed it!!

Why Buying a Nursing Bra Wasn’t a Total Mistake

Why Buying a Nursing Bra Wasn’t a Total Mistake

  Why buying a nursing bra is okay. Sometime last year I was in Target shopping for the ever-so-gracious bra that I seemed to either never fill out, or never fit in. There was always something wrong with them. For example, why is the wire sticking out of the bottom?  Why is there even a wire in my bra? Who makes these?

How to Remove Crayon from the inside of a Dryer

The last thing I needed on the day before Christmas school break and while I’m trying to finish holiday shopping online AND pack for our trip to see family is to find blue crayon in my dryer ALL OVER MY KIDS’ CLOTHES. Lucky me, that is exactly what I got this morning! Ugh. Yep, a blue crayon, and a green one, I think, somehow got past me in the laundry and ended up going through the washer and int... Read More »

Dear US Airways

Dear US Airways

  Dear US Airways, Your customer service stinks, bad. You definitely need to work on your automated man who answers the phone when you call your 1-800 number because he stinks too.
