Food Across St. Louis!
My favorite part of traveling, exploring local food! St. Louis is super close to Chicago, but I’ve never been! I really enjoyed the city, it’s quite beautiful. But who knew of all the crazy food?! I’m now obsessed with Fried Ravioli and Ooey Gooey Butter Cake. And of course, real good barbecue!
O-Town MacDown coming soon to Kissimmee
ALL YOU CAN EAT MAC-AND CHEESE for $10 – and the money goes to charity? Yes it’s real. Yes you can go. And yes, it’s for a great cause. There are so many charity events – all for worthy causes – but this is one that stands out, and I really hope you attend!! Give…
Epic Summer of Adventure
I think it’s safe to say 2015 was a summer of adventure for the Cook Family. The summer started with us kayaking our way through the canals of Marco Island, and ended with us floating down a river on the Cherokee Indian Reservation. In between we’ve been biking, hiking, whitewater rafting and exploring great new…
Here’s why the Post Office is struggling…
The strangest thing has happened to me – and I feel the need to share it because I don’t know what else to do. This situation has me bouncing between laughter and anger…so I share in search of help. As previously blogged about, I have an obsession with Disney Starbucks mugs. My dear friend in…

Review: Bette Midler – Divine Intervention
Bette Midler brings out an emotion response in me that is hard to understand. She is truly one of those people that, if I ever meet, when I finally meet, I will cry like a baby in front of. For me, it started in sixth grade in 1988. Middle school is awkward as hell and…
2015 White House Correspondents’ Dinner
This must be what Cinderella felt like – at least the part up until she fell in love. No one, to my knowledge, fell in love at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Thanks to some very good Washington, DC reporter friends, I was able to check off this big item from my bucket list and…
Dear Connor Cook
My dearest Connor Cook – please help out a fellow Spartan. You see…my husband and I bleed green and white – and have apparently done too good a job brainwashing our children go follow almighty Sparty. Although we live in Orlando, Florida – my son is a DIEHARD MSU fan, who dreams of one day…
