    Be Chic Literate: The Time Traveling Fashionista (On Board the Titanic)

    The cover of the book is just the tip of the beautifully illustrated iceberg...

    The Time Traveling Fashionista On Board the Titanic by Bianca Turetsky is one of those rare novels that appeals to both young adults (like my daughter Peyton) and grown ups (like me) alike. Between the engaging story and the lovely illustrations, not only is the book a definite page turner, it is one that you will want to look at over and over again! {Book sent for the purpose of review-but in full disclosure, Peyton had already read and was a huge fan of the series}

    Get A Delicious Boost with Green Mountain Coffee Espresso Roast Iced Latte!

    Thumb_ffc3b8d0-40c9-11e3-bb2f-22000afd2dc7Thumb_bc52d132-4009-11e3-aac3-22000af93a2d

    In my opinion, coffee is just about the closest thing that we have to what the ancients called "the nectar of the gods." I'm generally a happy, well adjusted human being - as long as I've had my morning cup of joe. And once upon a time, one delicious mug in the morning was sufficient, but that was when I had the luxury of being able to take an afternoon nap with my littlest. Now that I have to power through until bed time, I'm in definite need of an afternoon pick me up. For some reason, a hot cup of java just isn't as appealing to me in the afternoon as it is in the morning, so an option like Green Mountain Coffee Espresso Roast Iced Latte is perfect!
