One day when I was hungry, I bought a Hostess Cupcake. I tweeted this picture to the Hostess Cupcake people and told them that these special cupcakes remind me of my childhood in the 1980's. I have fond memories of buying these after my long day of elementary school at P.S. 87. The corner [...]

What's up pumpkins? I'm raising money to attend BlogHer 14. This year has been a great year for me. I managed to get on The Huffington Post and I had a post or two go viral.
