2. How adorable are these chewy ice cream cone cookies?!

3. The way to my heart? Pickle seltzer, pickle pizza – so many pickle things are making their way to the shelves. I’m here for it.

4. How to stop caring what people think about you.

5. TV things!! Ugh, our TV blew out yesterday – this is maybe the second or third time this has happened to us in 15 years. The darn flatscreens! Anyway, have you watched Flamin’ Hot yet? It’s so good.

6. I’ve also been listening to the Scamanda podcast. I’m pretty hooked.

8. Would you put seltzer in your cream cheese? Apparently it’s the secret!
