Last summer, I took the girls to Hershey’s Chocolate World. We took the then-new attraction Create Your Own Candy Bar for a spin, in fact this new exhibit was the impetus for that journey. The chocolate bars were pricey at $14.95 but still I deemed it a worthwhile expense for […]

A couple months ago, after I saw someone tweet about the then upcoming, super-specific, National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day I bookmarked a website that details all the ‘National’ days, weeks, & months on the calendar.
