I had a crazy busy weekend, one that included going to the mall. I suggest you stay far away, but since Macys left the sensor on my sister-in-laws gift, I had no choice. 🙁 It was scary, lots of honking! People need to take a chill pill before going. It’s going...

I love caramel sauce. If I could, I’d keep an IV attached at all times. I sometimes can overdose on caramel and have to take a step back. I used to get caramel lattes at Starbucks but I always asked for extra sauce so basically I had a cup of caramel with a...
