It’s Friday, which means one thing here at The Blogtini – Cocktail Hour! During the last Olympics my husband and I hosted a “Beer Olympics” during the Opening Ceremony that ended up just being a group of people sitting around drinking and heckling the TV. This time around we’ve decided to be a little bit […]

Pippa Middleton Is Engaged

Book Review | Lying Out Loud by Kody Keplinger
Ohhh you guyssss. This book was good. So, so good. Lying Out Loud: A Companion to The DUFF by Kody Keplinger is everything The DUFF was (funny, heartwarming, totally angsty in an amazing way) and more. What’s that? You haven’t read The DUFF? It’s okay, I haven’t either – but I watched the movie (starring Bella Thorne) and […]

Well it’s finally happened … Spring has arrived in New England. It certainly took its sweet time getting here.

New Year’s Resolution Fail
I did it you guys – January 1 came around and I made a resolution to lose weight (and stop eating pizza and fast food until my birthday in June). Because I’m a female human being and that’s what we’re freaking programmed to do. Well, that went well! Or, you know … not. I was […]
