Philadelphia Cream Cheese + Chocolate? Oh Yes We Did. #PhillyChocolate


Philly has done something deliciously decadent.... Melded chocolate with cream cheese? Oh, yes, they did!

With Chocolate Philly you get the dairy goodness of Philly with the deliciousness of pure milk chocolate. Plus this is chocolate you can feel good about splurging on. A one tablespoon serving has half the sugar and calories vs. "the other guys".


Cool Deal Alert

Want to give it a try? Keep an eye on the Philly Facebook page, because on May 21st they'll be rolling out a limited time coupon designed to help you get your hands on your very own tub of Chocolate Philly.

Do you sleep in when you're on vacation? What time do you eat breakfast?


Am I the only person in creation that wants to sleep in when on vacation? What the heck is with hotels that only serve breakfast until 9 or 10 am?  I don't want to be awake at 9am. When I roll out of bed at 11am or Noon, or hell 1pm, I want to be able to find something to eat.

This is not a dig at my recent stay at The Grand Hotel & Suites in Toronto.  This is a generalized rant about every bleeping hotel I've stayed at, well, ever. Let's say the place has a complimentary breakfast. If it's a hot buffet type spread I get why they need to have limited hours, and why they wouldn't want to leave things out past the normal window of "breakfast time". But for a continental style breakfast, why not have it available all day? Or at least until noon?  Even more so though, why have such limited hours for when I can buy made to order breakfast?  For places that offer room service, I think I should still be able to order breakfast until at the very least noon. Or I should be able to go down to the onsite restaurant and order something, regardless of the time of day.

Evil Wall Destroying Contraption, otherwise known as Baby Gate {Not So Wordless Wednesday w/linky}


Evil Wall Destroying Contraption, aka Baby Gate.

A little while back we finally took down the baby gate that was blocking off access to our kitchen (and the basement stairs), and these lovely souvenirs of it's stay were left behind. Yeah, I'm not impressed. Particularly since I went with this fancy tension gate over the screw-in mount-on-the-wall kind because I didn't want to ruin the walls by drilling holes in them. Ha.



Ok, so my kids added the crayon marks, but the scuff marks and the chunks of missing plaster? That's all baby gate. Lesson learned. Next time buy the wall mount version. Oh wait, yeah, their ain't going to be a next time. By the time I'm a grandma I fully expect, nay demand, hover gates, or something equally cool. Get to it, science!

Got a Wordless (or not so) Wednesday post to share?
