Some of the biggest drinking trends right now include sugar-free and alcohol-free drinks, and one of my favorites of the former is sugar-free vodka.

My teen is all about weird food history right now, and I've been informed that a lot of people don't use real wasabi due to cost and actually substitute horseradish dyed green instead. You may want to check that with your favorite restaurant!
While playing Baby Einstein CDs isn't about to help coral reefs recover, it turns out that playing ambient coral sounds to attract life back to the reef will, which is a brilliant idea that scientists are now using to help restore coral reefs.
According to SyFy Wire, Netflix's new show I Am Not Okay with This is "Stranger Things Meets Teen Wolf and John Hughes," and I could not be more excited about it! It also stars Sophia Lillis, who was lovely in the latest It films, as a teen with superpowers.
Boozy or not, a tall glass of iced tea will always make my day. The same goes for a nice cuppa made on the stove. I love my coffee, but I also love my tea and you can't make me choose!

Recently I was given a copy of Daily Warm Ups: Poetry by Shari Goldberg and my kiddo and I are loving this fun introduction to poetry. It's filled with not only snippets of poems to analyze but also creative writing assignments, many of which include some doodling to keep it interesting.

Is anyone else just. So. Tired. Of hearing how "unelectable" Elizabeth Warren and other women are? I'm also pretty sick of hearing liberals be so picky about their candidates. "Well he did this bad thing one time!" O... M... G. Do you know how picky conservatives are? They AREN'T. At all. Just look at the bar they've set with this one.

They have, however, hit a big milestone: Dave's Picks Vol. 33: Evans Field House, N. Illinois University, Dekalb, IL just made the band reach their 100th chartered album!
