Tuesday Things.
1. 30 years ago yesterday, the first Babysitter’s Club book was published! I always thought of myself as Mary Ann. But now that I’m older, I wish I would’ve been as cool as Claudia.
2. How incredible does this BLT balsamic chicken salad look?! I need.
3. We watched ALL of Stranger Things! Oh my gosh. I don’t even know where to start, but I mentioned it in my July favorites yesterday. I think my favorite thing was how it was kind of all going on and most of the other parents were completely clueless and it was the kids who were trying to solve the issue. Um, also, can we talk about my favorite character Dustin?! Eddie and I laughed so much through the show. He said he felt like he was in an 80s sci fi novel.
4. Why we should all dream. So good.
5. Did you see that they are remaking the movie Beaches? I can’t even fathom it – Beaches IS Bette Midler. My mom and I used to watch it constantly. It also made me obsessed with going under boardwalks at the beach.
6. A few months ago we were talking about dr. pimple popper on instagram (just stop) but I think I’ve found something just as bad… all the dentist accounts! I’ve never been super afraid of the dentist but I don’t want to see a timelapse video of painful dentist work. Noooo. Go away please.
7. Instagram stories? Tell me about this. Is it like snapchat for insta?
8. I want to organize the heck out of everything. Or have someone come do it for me.
9. I’m super honored that my blog was nominated for the best food blog award in the bloglovin’ awards. It might sound ridiculous but I work hard to put out authentic content daily and it seriously means the world to me that after seven+ years, it’s still going strong. Thank you so much for being here! xoxo

I really want to watch Stranger Things. Ugh, now I just need the time! I keep hearing about it everywhere.
Congratulations on the nomination! Definitely well earned.
Say what, Baby Sitter’s Club is 30?!!? I got dragged into a comic book store a few weeks back and found a BSC graphic novel! Like, the same exact story just in comic form! Totally embarrassing that I recognized it was the exact same story….

OMG… so much yes for Dustin! By far my favorite character.
Voted for you…cause you’re the BEST! Hope you win. You deserve it ;)
Claudia was. The. Coolest.
Also, congrats on the nomination! Thanks for the great content you consistently produce!!
Congrats on the bloglovin’ nomination!! voted :)
We just finished episode 4 of Stranger Things last night so I’m looking forward to finishing the series up this weekend!!
Just voted for you! I’ve followed your blog for several years and Tuesdays are always my favorite day of the week because of these posts. Thank you for keeping me (and the rest of the internet) entertained, well-fed, and engaged for so many years. Aaaaand thank you for introducing me to Glamglow Mud. Total gamechanger!!
i don’t get the point of instagram stories at all. i haven’t seen anything that says how it’s different from snapchat, and i can’t see how snapchat users would want to do instagram stories as well when it’s the same thing (in addition to the fact that instagram’s vibe doesn’t really mesh with the quality of most snapchat content).
Congrats on the nomination!
If you think going to the dentist is painful, you’re going to the wrong place!!
Congrats!!! xo You deserve it! Also, I don’t even want to know what that Dr Pimple Popper is, I haven’t heard of it yet, and I’m already disturbed.
OMG Babysitter’s Club – I owned the entire book series and all the dolls. My favorite characters were always Claudia and Dawn :) And major congratulations on the well-deserved nomination!
Stranger Things is totally on my binge watch list.. just as soon as I can stay awake later than the small person that lives in my house.
Congrats on the blog nomination. YAY! I will go vote right now.
You should have received an award years ago! I love your blog. I loved reading The Babysitter’s Club as a kid. Stranger Things is on my list of shows to start.

Congrats on the bloglovin’ nomination!! You deserve it so so much! Just voted for you :)
Also, I don’t really get the Instagram stories, it seems to be the same as snap..haven’t really played around with it yet. Too many updates all the time! I’m not liking the new algorithm.
I loved the babysitters club! omg I read every single book in the series including the super specials lol. the best! I liked Stacey the best but I know I loved them all…and Beaches is the greatest, a remake will annoy me because there is no way it could be the same. Just like when they redid Parent Trap and Annie
Congratulations on being nominated for the best food blog! You deserve it!!! Yes yes yes. (By the way, your Sunday list is my favorite way to start the day!)
There are some movies that should not be remade. Beaches is one of them. I don’t think I’ll watch the new one.
So excited to see your nomination! I voted for you!
Congrats on the nomination! Reading your blog is part of my daily routine so you totally deserve to win!
Although it’s Wednesday, I’m catching up on Tuesday lol <- I blame summer business!
6. Gross- I fully second the 'stop' – please for the love of God, I don't want to see gross tooth work on insta.
7. Instagram stories – they need to stop, it's almost as if all social media outlets are morphing to be the same. FB has FB live, Snapchat has memories, now Insta has stories…want to make a bet that Twitter will come up with something next? Le sigh
9. CONGRATS! Off to go vote now, like right this second!!!
I love your blog for the reason that you keep it real, sincere and authentic. Thank you so much for your great blog! I love reading it.
Congrats on the bloglovin’ nomination Jessica!! Voted for you. I enjoy reading your blog everyday and following your gorgeous Instagram. I don’t know how you do it all!!
you thank us? we thank you!

BSC ! 30 WOW. i wanted to be claudia sooo bad but i was/am so a kristy. i also thought stacey was cool too !
beaches – i just dont know. i heard indina menzel was going ot be bette. i mean bette is bette but maybe…i dont know. i am just thinking it will be bad. but any movie with a song about “over the shoulder boulder holders” cracks me up. when we were kids we would sign it totally having no idea what it meant ! my sister and i still quote it all the time…i say to her cuz im older…i know everything there is to know about you….and my memory is long !!!!
Congrats on the nomination! You’ve been a long time favorite of mine since you started. Keep on keepin’ on! Love all that you do!
Congrats on the nomination! I just love your blog and finally read an Elin Hilderbrand book on your recommendation. It was such a fun summer read and couldn’t put it down. All your hard work shines through in your content and photos. Keep rockin’ lady!!
Congrats on the Bloglovin nomination! I just hopped over there and voted for you!!
Congrats! I voted for you!
Beaches remake? That’s interesting…I will try to see it before I knock it. It’s been replaying a bunch on cable tv and I have watched it twice in the last 3 weeks! I LOVE that movie and Bette so much!
Did you know Ann M Martin from Babysitters Club is coming to Pittsburgh next weekend? She has a new book based on the Mrs Piggle Wiggle series!
There is also a new podcast out called The Babysitters Club Club hosted by two guys who are re-reading the series. Quirky – but great memories!
Congratulations on the nomination. That’ very exciting. I
m so happy for you.
you deserve it! this blog is true quality and really super entertaining. love it!
also…BSL. my. life! i want to go back and re-read all of them. getting new books throughout the summer and reading them in a day or 2 was the greatest thing. ever.
