Monopoly was right alongside Trivial Pursuit as my least favorite games: the type that always made me feel stupie. I guess it’s because I’ve never been good at keeping track of money (the real or fake kind). But chocolate-opoly I can handle. It still involves money BUT (and let’s call it a HUGE BUTT at that) it involves chocolate! Yep… too much causes big badonks and overflowing muffin tops, friendlies. We laughed our way through the whole game while stuffing our faces full of the real stuff, chocolate that is.

I found the game HERE. Definitely recommend buying it. Super creative and thoroughly entertaining.


Wednesdays seem to be my notorious “melt-down” days. Not EVERY Wednesday, mind you. But when I seem to turn into fire breathing dragon lady, more than likely it’ll be on a Wednesday. For A-Z reasons, I unraveled yesterday. Like a major Kapow! Snap! POP! Husby locked the bathroom door, which I pounded on like I was 2 (remember I was kapowing?!) and demanded to know what was going on in there. The 20 minute wait was well worth the wait. Unlocking the door, this scene awaited me! A bubble bath that smelled just like candy hearts (it’s the latest scent, Sweet Talk by Philosophy).

I might note, the heart garland he needed some assistance with. The intent was there, but he’s still a dude you guys. And little LuLu definitely gave her approval. With tail wagging, it was obvious she thought it was HER bath time! ha!
