OMG! Guess WHAT!!!! Jurassic World 3 is coming!! But the best part – Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern, and Sam Neill are coming back for it! This is the final installment of the Jurassic World movies- 🙁 It’s exciting that we’ll get the original Jurassic Park cast, but (there’s always a”but”), we still don’t know if they will have just short cameos or actually be lead characters again. I’m hoping for lead characters! PLUS, this is the first time all three have been back together on-screen since the original Jurassic Park. EXCITING!

Are you a Jurassic World or Jurassic Park fan?
I (Sarah) LOVE a good ghost story, especially this time of the year! I recently found this awesome list of the most haunted hotel in every state – and honestly, now I need to plan a vacation road trip around the United States! 🙂
The list comes from TripAdvisor reviews and ratings to get the most haunted hotel stats in every state. For me, it’s the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. I’ve heard tons of stories about this ship! It sailed between the 1930s – 1960s and there were 49 deaths. BUT, there are a reported 150 different ghosts that appear!
Read about it and find your state HERE!
Have you ever or would you ever stay in a haunted hotel?
This is so amazing. It’s a Long Distance Mug – you can put your state and the one you love on the other state! In fact, you can even different countries put on the 11 or 15 oz mugs, too! These are only about $20 shipped, which seems awesome for such a great gift idea!
Who loves iced coffee!? This cold brew iced coffee maker is highly rated, and only $21 right now when you clip the coupon on the page! I (Jeni) am scoring one for myself this morning 
Hershey’s is making a chocolate beer! YEP – CHOCOLATE BEER. Hershey’s and Yuengling Brewery teamed up for this new collaboration. In fact, they are only about 45 miles from each other! The Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter will only be available on draft at certain bars. See them HERE!
If you live near where it’s sold, will you try it?
This is too cool! It’s a luxury dog house called, “Woof Ranch.” It’s like a mid-century ranch style house with a garden, Astroturf porch, and a window. And omg it’s SO CUTE! But you’ll have to REALLY love your dog to get this house – it’s $4,000!
What’s the most expensive thing you’ve bought for your dog?
These Mirrored Sunglasses are not just cute – they are super popular right now! There are 10 different colors available, and you’ll probably love more than just one 🙂 They’re only $15 each, too!
What style of sunglasses do you love right now?
If you or someone in your family is a great cook – why not treasure those recipes?! These are awesome Family Cookbooks that help you keep passed-down traditions in one place. There are templates for over 80 recipes and even places to put personalized photos! This would make an awesome gift!
Whose recipes would you like to be able to save forever?
There are new flavors for Coke and Sprite out! The new Winter Spiced Cranberry Sprite and Cinnamon Coke are out and on the shelves at Walmart now! This is a different Sprite Cranberry that was previously released – this one has a little bit of a kick to it! See what they taste like HERE!
Oh my WORD this stuff is amazing! My (Jeni) recipe for Banana Pudding Bread is going to be a game changer for you, I promise! It’s SUPER easy to make and mouthwateringly delicious. Honestly, I think the fresh whipped cream on top sets it over the edge! I’m making this again tonight, by request!
What is your favorite type of sweet bread?
Don’t forget to join us every Wednesday evening at 4pm EST for Happy Hour!

It sounds strange to some but a stout beer with chocolate notes is really quite tasty and satisfying!
I will be watching Jurassic Park 3. I’ve enjoyed the other films. And I would stay in a haunted hotel, but the lights would have to stay on.
Lights TOTALLY ON!
Ok, so I don’t see myself ever paying $4k for anything for my dog, but that ranch is too freakin cute.
Seriously – same!
SIGN ME UP for Jurrasic World 3. I am there!!!!!! But omg I have to wait until 2021?! YIKES! Funny thing is, before you know it, you will be sitting in the movie theater watching it! #timeflies
HEHEEH!!! Seriously, I hate that it always takes so long!
That doghouse is so cute. I am sure many dog owners would love to have this in their home.
Right!?!?
I will have to watch the previous Jurassic park movies since it’s been a while. Going to the movies is a huge luxury and I would rather wait until it comes out on Red box. Then watch it at home with our favorite snacks.
I need to catch up on the movies, too!
We watched the last Jurassic World movie, and really enjoyed it. I can’t wait for this one to come out! I won’t say I don’t believe in spirits, but I’ve never had a paranormal experience!
That’s so awesome!
That cranberry sprite has been on my mind all weekend. It is a flavor I can defiantly get behind. I will probably try the cinnamon coke too…but it does not sound nearly as good as the cranberry.
I liked the Jurassic World Movies and am excited to see original castmembers in the next one. The first Jurassic Park is still my favorite.
Haunted hotel…NEVER. I’ll leave it to the more adventurous souls out there. I would like to try that winter ranberry sprite sounds good.
Not counting vet bills and dog food, my dog’s bed is the most expensive thing he owns. It was about $100, and worth every penny. He loves it so much!
I want to pass along my grandmother’s sweet potato pie recipe. I love to be scared but I could never stay in a haunted hotel. That is too much, lol. My son will be very happy to hear that there will be a Jurassic World 3. He loves those movies!
That coffee maker for iced coffee looks amazing. I am huge coffee fan. The cinnamon Coke is a definite no – Somethings are just better off left with the original recipe.
I just heard about those new flavors of Coke and Sprite. I’m not much of a soda fan myself, but I’d still give these a try. I’m always interested to try interesting flavors like these.
I haven’t been drinking alcohol in a a few weeks, but I may have to break that binge of no alcohol for that chocolate beer. Seems like a valid reason to try a drink soon!
I know the picture of the hotel. It’s the Stanley hotel in Estes Park Colorado and was where The Shining was filmed.
I have this coffee maker. It works well. It nice to have it ready to go.
Did you say Jeff Goldblum?? Yup, I’m here for Jurassic World 3!
I love the idea of a family cookbook like the one above! Such a great idea. I also love the stylish little dog house. But the price tag..ouch!
Wow! I loved the first two movies of Jurassic World and it’s good to know that the original cast of the previous movies are returning. I’m sure it’s going to be awesome. That long distance mug would be a nice gift for loved ones this coming holiday season!
We are re-watching Jurassic Park these days. I am so glad to hear about the Jurassic World 3!
I’m not really a Jurassic Park fan. I’m actually not sure if my kids have seen it either. That list of haunted hotels sounds intriguing. I’m not sure if I’d have the guts to stay at any of them though, lol.
I am so ready for Jurassic World 3! This looks exciting.
I have seen the trailer of Jurassic World 3 and I am excited and so does my kids! I always had fun reading your post.
I am not a Jurassic fan but my husband is. He plans to watch the Jurassic World 3 with our son who is also a fan.
That beautiful long distance mug is so cute and would make a lovely gift for besties who don’t leave close to us. And yes, I’m looking forward to watching Jurassic World 3 when it comes out.
As a food blogger I love the idea of the family cookbooks! Recipes that are handed down from generation to generation are the best! Even though I don’t cook many of them, those from my grandma are treasures. xx
Love iced coffee, can’t wait to check out the machine! Also going to grab the cookbook! Love all your ideas!
I have to get my BFF that coffee cup! We live three states away and dont’ get to hang out often. I love that candle to though!
Let me know how that iced coffee brewer is, I would love to get one. Trying to be careful about appliances right now though. They end up taking so much space
