Who gives a chip?
Raise your hand if you like potato chips… (wow, that’s a lot of hands) Now, I love processed foods as much as the next gal, but I also know how bad they are for you. In my quest to give my kids the potato chips they craved and not turn them into those weird…
Dancing with Jake Ryan
So there I was, a fresh-faced budding young woman of 14. I was at the movies with some friends and that’s when I first saw him. He became very important in my “formative years” and was often on my mind as I drifted off to sleep…Jake Ryan. When Sixteen Candles came out in 1984 I…
