GOOOOD MONDAY MORNING, LOVIES!!

So, most of you KNOW about Starbucks and some of you love it!  I (Jeni) love my lattes from Starbucks, and have become obsessed with the new Pumpkin Foam Cold Brew! I also love the new Cinderella Latte (Pumpkin Spice latte with 1/2 the pumpkin, replaced by 2 pumps White Mocha). I knew there was a “secret menu” but never realized there was an entire website devoted to it!  I should have known!

The Starbucks Secret Menu is AMAZING!  It’s made by fans, for fans! People share their creations… and it’s a lot of fun to check them out!  But the 14 holiday drinks you can order year round – that got me.  Uhhhhhh…. ok back to what I was saying (I got distracted for a while there, living in the land of Christmas flavors!).  There’s even a pumpkin favorites list of 10 pumpkin flavored drinks!

I don’t know who runs it, but I love them 🙂

What’s your favorite secret menu drink??

WOW. All I (Sarah), can say is… WOW!  I have always been fascinated with sign language, and wished I had the patience to learn. This is INCREDIBLE!  Watch!

Do you know how to sign? Could you sign this quickly!?

This Pop Culture Trivia Game looks like so much fun!  It has over 800 questions  to answer  – all about pop culture!  AND it’s only $11.45!

These Weekend Tees are SO CUTE!  Plus, they are just $16.99 + free shipping! There are lots of color choices and 5 different designs.

This Fall Bucket List from Chelsea’s Messy Apron is so cute and so much fun!  It’s getting both of us pretty excited for FALL!!

What’s on YOUR fall bucket list?

The new Disney Storybook Collection Advent Calendar includes mini books! Yep, 24 tiny Disney books are inside, which makes the countdown so much fun!  The first wave in August sold out in hours.  You can get notified of when they are ready again, though!

Do you use advent calendars?

Animal butt magnets.  Yep – that’s a thing, and they are hilariously cute!  There are cat butts, dog, butts, safari animal butts, farm animal butts, and whale butts.  I (Sarah) don’t think I’ve typed the word, “butts” so much! 🙂

Do you have fun magnets on your fridge?

RUMOR ALERT!  Apparently, the movie Black Widow might have Robert Downey Jr. in it as Tony Stark! It would obviously be a prequel to before Iron Man died, but I (Jeni) am SUPER excited because Iron Man is my favorite of the super hero clan! HOWEVER – it hasn’t been officially announced (even though there have been two events that an announcement would have made sense).  So… just a rumor right now. Read more about it HERE!

Who is your favorite super hero?

Remember back in the day, how popular fun erasers were? Apparently, kids still love cute, little things that are useful! This DIY Make Your Own Erasers Kit is too fun, and highly rated, too! It comes with enough stuff to make 25 erasers.  What a fun project for a rainy day!

What crafts do your kids like doing on rainy days?

Breakfast for dinner! Instead of the traditional pancakes and bacon – how about this awesome Baked Cheddar Eggs & Potatoes!?  I (Sarah) would totally throw some salsa on top and eat the entire dish 🙂

What do you have in your normal “breakfast for dinner” meals?

  1. The baked cheddar potatoes and eggs look so good! It’s making me hungry. My daughter loves the Pumpkin Foam Cold Brew. I always order the same drink at Starbucks. I need to venture out and live on the wild side.

  17. I love the tees! They say most restaurants and cafes have a secret menu. I love the holiday drinks from Starbucks.

  18. I hope I get to try all the drinks in the Stabucks menu someday but whenever I go there I just end up ordering my regular. Haha. I should learn to give way. Loving the fall and I’m excited about all the events we get to enjoy this season. I need those shirts in my life too!
