Returning The Chicks To The Farm

As you may or may not know, we hatched chick for a second year at my library and yesterday was the day that I had to bring the chicks back to the farm.

And since every patron that comes into my department that knows about the chickens asks me what the farm looks like, etc. I took a handful of pictures while I was there with Toni and the kids to share with them and all of you. So, here are some of the pictures I took during our brief visit to the farm...

It wasn't as nice as it was last year when we returned the chicks, but we all still had a nice little visit and I can't wait to do it again next year.

Killing A Benjamin | Dollar Shave Club...

As you guys may or may not know by now, I love a good writing prompt. So when I was recently approached by Dollar Shave Club and asked what would I do if I had an extra hundred dollars in my pocket to spend on anything I wanted, I was all over it because who doesn't dream about just having some extra cash to spend on whatever their little heart desires? -- Plus it totally reminded me of a game called "Killing a Benjamin" from my favorite podcast Slumber Party with Alie & Georgia.

So what would I spend an extra random hundred dollars on? Well my first instinct is high end makeup but with a hundred dollars I would only be able to buy a lipstick and maybe some sort of palette -- I know this because my sister gave me a hundred dollar give card for Christmas and I blew the whole things on one NARS Audacious Lipstick and the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette, which are both totally worth the money by the way but very expensive -- and as much as those things would make me happy, I feel like with an extra hundred bucks I should do something blog worthy. Like go into New York City and spend the day doing stupid things with my friends (Aka day drinking) or drive out to the east end of Long Island, hang out at the farms, eat good local food, thrift and play in a field or at the beach with Justin or blow the whole thing on a ticket to see Then She Fell (Which is an interactive performance in the same vein as Sleep No More) or have an amazing meal. Basically something memory worthy. I'm all about making memories because when I'm old I want to be able to tell people about all of the adventures I've been on throughout the course of my life.

Why is Dollar Shave Club interested in how I would spend and extra hundred dollars? Well, with their monthly service starting at $3.00 their members save over a hundred dollars a year on shaving supplies. And with that kind of savings it's hard not to wonder what people would do with an extra hundred dollars in their pocket.

So what would you do if you had an extra hundred dollars to spend as you please? Lemme know!

As always, all opinions are my own.

Overdue: Berry Picking & Shopping Out East...

Over Labor Day weekend I headed out to eastern Long Island with my sister, Erin and our friend Dee Dee for a day of berry picking and frolicking outside on farms.

After berry picking and a little shopping at the Garden of Eve Farm we moved on to the next, where we ended up finding Popeye riding a pink tractor, amazing ice cream and a sunflower field at Patty's Berries & Bunches.

This was Patty's Maple Sage ice cream, it was some of the best ice cream that I've ever had.

After playing in the sunflowers we headed across the street to check out what the neighboring farm had to offer.

It was cute but we really wanted food, so we left to go on an adventure to find something to eat.

So yeah, that was our little Labor Day weekend trip to eastern Long Island.
