Orbeez and a deluge of rain don’t mix.
Especially when you run in the house to change our wet clothes and forget they are in your car.
Then, you take a right to come in the work parking lot and they spill all over your swagger wagon.
Lessons were learned this day.
*side note someone just told me I can use them in hanging baskets to retain moisture! In case I get more bird babies!

Is there on dish that you make that people always say, "OH you have to make this for the party!" OR is there one thing that you scan the 4th of July picnic spread hoping to see?
Amy Anderson was my best friend growing up, her family had a 4th of July party every year. I got to stay out past the "streetlight rules" Her Dad, Carl, got all the "good" fireworks and we played volleyball and we got to have soda....Amy's Mom, Jeannine, made this fruit dip that had Gran Marnier in it and she would slice fresh fruits to dip in it. (the peaches were my favorite)
That is the one dish I wish I could make the same way or see on a table at a summer picnic....

Get ready for a star-spangled spread. 🇺🇸

It doesn't matter if you love it or not. You should always keep it "You were a beautiful bride" end of sentence.
Like my Mother always said..."If you don't have anything nice to say, say it in the family group chat. lololol"
seems harsh, no??

Lauren Sanchez's friends and family have been cheering her on all week as she ties the knot with Jeff Bezos ... but, at least one famous face is throwing shade -- and, blasting her high-end dress.

I loved her so much when I was little!
A trailer for “Shari & Lamb Chop” dropped yesterday that chronicles the rise, fall and rise again of Lewis and her puppets Lamb Chop, Hush Puppy, and Charlie Horse. The project is directed by Lisa D'Apolito and gives fans a look into who Shari Lewis was beyond her puppets. The film hits theaters on July 18.
