The Most Wonderful Time of the Year is almost here. No, not Christmas, silly! I’m talking about MONSTER JAM TIME. I have rhapsodized about Monster Jam on this blog many times before and no one is more surprised than me that I’m a fan. Dennis convinced me to go to a show several years […]

This post was written in partnership with Office Depot. I think we can all agree that school supplies today are a lot cooler than they were when we were kids. Back in the pre-Instagram dark ages, I thought my Trapper Keeper, Holly Hobby lunchbox (and matching Thermos!), and Lisa Frank pencils were the height of […]
