1. Well, geeeez, that was a fast week. I can’t believe I never got the chance to check back in again after Monday! Things were busy with work, and then I had to spend a few evenings getting all of my tax stuff ready (UGH, the worst!), and I just never got the chance to check back in again. Spoiler alert: you didn’t miss out on much!
2. Okay, so I’m seriously hoping that the employee I asked at Dunkin the other day was WRONG, but when I asked if/when they were going to be coming back out with my beloved cookie dough iced coffee, she said that it wasn’t coming back. WHAAAAAT?!?! At first, I was devastated (dramatic, yes, but true)…BUT, I think I’ve found another “makeshift” cookie dough iced coffee combo!
You ready? Just order 1 pump caramel swirl + 1 pump fudge brownie (I do that for a medium, + skim milk). It was surprisingly very similar, so if the rumor is true, then I’ll at least still have this. SO goooood!
3. This guy has been a bit of a cranky pants this week. I keep wanting to say it’s teeth but…there’s still nothing in there. Nada!!
Maybe they’re just movin’ around under the gums in there. Or, maybe, he’s just being a cranky pants. ;)
4. Most of the time, I’m really good about checking in to my Blue Apron account to see what the upcoming menus look like so I can schedule or skip. But apparently, I dropped the ball and we were surprised with a new Blue Apron box on our doorstep this week.
Thankfully, we lucked out so far with the meals…this pasta dish from the other night was delish!
5. Okay, where are all of my Chicago Fire fans at out there? Did you guys catch this week’s episode? SO good, right?!?
6. So some of you probably already saw this on Instagram yesterday, but I had to share. Our sitter sent me the picture of Alex earlier in the week and after showing it to my parents, my mom ending up texting me back with this picture of me (on the right). Whatcha think??
7. Every once in a while, I like to share some new news in regards to my Usborne Books biz, so first things first. We just released a bunch of brand NEW titles and they are SO good, you guys (my personal favorite is THIS ONE). SO GOOD! Plus, I’m currently offering this fun hostess special to anyone who has a party with me…
I mean, yes, the books are great. They’re freakin’ AMAZING, if we’re being honest. And when you host a party, the hostess rewards/free books are fabulous. BUT, it’s also fun to get a little something just for YOU too, right? So I’m offering an opportunity to win a free Insta Pot or Kendra Scott necklace right now if you host a party! Interested? Just shoot me an email (sweettoothcourtney at gmail dot com) – I’d love to party with ya!
8. I have a few house projects that I’m hoping to get done around here this weekend and, if all goes well, I’ll be excited to share with you guys next week!
I’m cutting things short today because, well, that’s all I’ve got! And, apparently, I’m really into the exclamation marks today…sheesh. I hope you all have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend ahead, whatever you may be doing! <3

I haven’t watched Chicago fire in probably 1.5-2 years but I managed to see this weeks episode and I am hooked all over again!! Love it!

The baby picture comparison of you and Alex looks SO similar! That’s amazing. I’ve been meaning to do a side by side of me, my husband, and our baby because we go back and forth on who he looks like. Lately, I think he looks a ton like my husband!
Brynn says
I hear you on the tax fun, ha! We’re hoping to tackle a few house projects this weekend as well. With 80 percent chance of rain both days, the chances are good!
Heather says
I am always looking for a new, good show to watch. Maybe I need to check out Chicago Fire?! Have a great weekend Courtney!
M says
Did you try the vanilla cupcake flavor yet? I get one pump in a medium macchiato and I love it! I also really liked cookie dough and think this tastes similar.
Melissa says
More importantly with Dunkin – will they come back with the Heath Bar that I died over last year?? It was THE BEST!!! I really hope so.
Mandee says
So you got me completely HOOKED on the cookie dough flavor last year, and I would CRAVE it when I was pregnant! I’d get a large iced decaf with skim and split it up so I could have it twice haha! I asked when I was at Dunkin’ last week when it was coming back, and the girl told me that it would come out after the spring flavors were finished (she said probably closer to summertime). Apparently the spring flavors are supposed to be released soon (I think she told me one was a salted caramel?). So hopefully this is true! I’ve been getting the vanilla cupcake flavor every once in a while, but it’s not as good as the cookie dough!
Kristin Q says
I may be just as upset if the news on cookie dough flavoring from DD is true. This morning I tried the Vanilla cupcake and it’s pretty good.

Never seen Chicago, but I need some more shows, so I will have to look into that one. Oh yes, I love Dunkin’ coffee! We don’t have a shop here in SF, so I buy the packaged grinds and the taste is just heavenly!
Patricia @Sweet and Strong says
I have loved the few times we used Blue Apron, they were always unique recipes I wouldn’t normally make. And I love treating myself to a good coffee, bummer they don’t make your favorite kind anymore, but sounds like you got the recipe down! ;) Have a great weekend
Bethany says
You guys might favor a bit!

I’m so sad about the cookie dough 😭 Also, I am so far behind on the Chicago shows… hoping to get caught up, but I’m starting a new job next week so that probably won’t happen, lol.
