I love “coming of age” movies. I’m not even really sure what that phrase means but I like watching characters find themselves.

I’ve been on mission trips, worked with children in 3rd world countries and traveled a lot so I know the realities but it was so great to…

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight Slingshot coffee caramels are one of my husband’s favorite treats. He pretty much loves all things coffee so these are a no brainer. He also loves North Carolina beverages like Lassiter Distillery Rum, Conniption Navy Strength Gin and Highland Thunderstruck Coffee Porter. And of course you need…
