Standard Grandma Foods

This past weekend I set out to Maryland for a bachelorette party, Mother’s Day & hopes of meeting my new baby cousin. All 3 were a success! Sleeping, was not…but hey I can sleep when I’m 90.

When we go to Maryland, we usually stay with my Grandma since she has plenty of extra space and I can’t help but taste test everything she has out for “snacks”. Since Adam and I don’t keep these items in our house (we can’t be trusted), I know I can indulge when I’m at Grandma’s. There are a few things I can always count on being in her house.

Ice Cream: That is literally her freezer. Nothing else.

Pretzel M&M’s: Yes, I did finish off the bowl.

King Size Candy Bars: I don’t know how she can have these in her fridge and not touch them!?

Snapple Peach Tea: This one is for the boys — They drink 3 in a sitting. #animals

Kettle Cooked Chips: This is always served with Helluva Good French Onion Dip

Sugary Cereals: Bring me back to my childhood days <3

What foods can you guarantee being at your Grandma’s house?

Mexico Eating

111

If we’re being completely honest, the food at the resort in Mexico wasn’t spectacular… I felt like we were always picking through things we thought were acceptable to eat. A lot of people got sick and we weren’t exactly sure what was causing it so we were extra careful! Nobody wants to be sick on […]

Happy Friday everyone! I’m not on an airplane as much as I’d like to be (who will hire me as a professional vacationer?), but when I am I notice people are basically wearing their pajamas. I used to think wearing a Juicy Couture sweat suit on an airplane was acceptable, but really – why not […]
