It’s officially February and Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Back in the day when Grey’s Anatomy was THE THING, Target sold Valentine’s Day cards and I gave them to all my friends. It was awesome. But no one has done them since. So I’m making my own. Today, here are three different 30 Rock…
Sweeps starts back up in February. For you non-tv people out there, it really means the time when new tv shows are back on again! In this lull of reruns, I’ve been able to binge-watch a bunch of new (and old!) shows. I thought I would share some of my favorites in the event you…
It’s true. I’m a city girl at heart. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, I’m all about mass-transportation and feel totally safe in a crowded subway. I have visited a farm a few times in my life, only to find that I’m pretty much allergic to everything on it. Even in college, many called…
If there’s an awards show on tv, you can bet that I’m behind my laptop live-tweeting all sorts of things. I like to think I’m funny. But that’s up to you to decide. But one of my favorite things is to see how something done, worn or said at awards shows can turn into a…
I first moved to Florida in 1997 from Michigan. I drove down with a guy I barely knew, heading to a job I had no idea about, to live with five other girls, all strangers. Flash forward almost 17 years (wait – is that math correct?! DAMN!!!) and it’s amazing the friendships and bonds made…
You may know me lately from my Mashable fame. It’s all because I once sent a tweet that went viral in seconds. I literally think of this every time I hear #polarvortex @parksandrecnbc pic.twitter.com/9RSRJJd6KL — JenCook (@JenCook) January 7, 2014 I sent the tweet while I was on a conference call. I honestly kept getting…
It doesn’t often get “cold” in Florida, thankfully. But when the weather gets cooler, Blue Spring State Park is the place to go. You see, when temperatures dip, manatees look for warmer waters and head to the always 73 degree water of Blue Spring State Park. It’s amazing to walk into the park and just…
My husband’s birthday weekend continued on Martin Luther King Junior day because the whole family had the day off together. It’s a rare event that we are all off at the same time. We decided to venture out into nature and check out one of my favorite places, Gemini Springs Park. I had to go…
Baby shower’s are always fun to plan. This one was especially exciting because it was for one of my best friends, Amanda. It was also the hardest shower I’ve had to plan in awhile. You see, she blogs over at Cocktails & Chemo and has had quite the roller-coaster of emotions during this pregnancy. They…
I was recently invited to a blogger event at Christner’s Prime Steak and Lobster in Orlando, formally known as Del Frisco’s. Truth be told, it’s my first blogger event in awhile where I went solo. Normally, my true introvert shines through and I end up not going. But I have vowed to change that in…
