Yummy treats, mid-flight
I am in seventh heaven right now. I recently took a trip to Orlando. I flew United Airlines for the first time in quite a while. I was so surprised that they didn’t offer the usual pretzel/ peanut snack, but instead, this yummy waffle cookie thing that tasted like heaven. At first I thought I’d save it to take home to my kids… but really… I was starving. Then, on the return flight, when I got another, I thought it just wouldn’t be fair to go home with one cookie to two kids. So I ate that one too. I was searching through Amazon and what did I find? These yummy waffle cookie/ candy treats that they served on the plane. Oh my… these will be dangerous when they arrive and probably won’t last long in my house. I had to share this for anyone like me, that hasn’t stopped thinking about these since my trip almost a month ago. http://amzn.to/2ay6xzJ I tried to post a photo but you’ll have to go to the link and see for yourself.

I was bummed we had to cancel our waterfall road trip so while we were in Columbus, OH- I googled “waterfalls in Ohio” to see what popped up. Much to my […]
