Remember when we were growing up and we couldn’t wait for the Halloween specials every year? Yeah, me neither. Although, to be fair, we did have It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown which was definitely one of my favorites. We rooted for Linus as he waited for the Great Pumpkin, something only he believed in but … Read more
You probably grew up thinking it was impossible for anyone to NOT know who The Beatles are. But life changes quickly when you grow up. In fact, there are moments in your life when you realize you’re not just growing up but that you’re done. You’re grown. It’s all downhill from here. Those moments usually … Read more

I can’t tell you how many times I see this posted on Facebook. I’ve got the house to myself and I need some shows to binge watch! Because apparently, Facebook is the place to do that and binge watching is now a real live thing. It’s true. Even Urban Dictionary has it in there (although … Read more
