Last week I did something that changed my life, something I have never done in the past. I took a nap… at 6 o’clock in the evening. I was tired and stressed out and just couldn’t stay awake. My husband warned me that it would turn out to be a mistake, that I wouldn’t sleep through the night, that I would wake up and annoy the crap out of him when it became regular bedtime. I don’t say this often, but “Honey, you were right!” I took a two hour nap and it changed my life… and his.
While road tripping the craft brew trail in Louisiana, Kenin and I came upon a historic ice cream parlor on Johnston Street in Lafayette. This historic ice cream shoppe was built in 1940 and is the last one of Borden’s retail stores that is still left standing.

Most pet friendly hotels usually go the budget route and make you feel like you and your pet are second class citizens, or charge you some exorbitantly high pet fee that makes staying there a burden. Thankfully, Starwood Hotels has put together a chain of hotels that changes all of that. We visited the Aloft hotel in the Arundel Mills area of Baltimore and found a hotel that was hip, high class, full of flair and pet friendly.

Who doesn’t like chocolate? Seriously, chocolate is the perfect food; rich, creamy, scrumptious, and versatile. You can use it for savory cooking, desserts and even in drinks. I must admit to being a bit (okay truthfully a little more than a bit) of a chocoholic. If allowed by the rest of my household, I would smother everything in some form of chocolate. Getting a chance to delve into the delicious delicacies at the Cococo Chocolatiers was an absolute treat for me, it was this chocoholics dream come true.
