And they don’t require batteries, cords, or Wi-Fi (unless if you are reading from a tablet, but in this case, we are referring to good old-fashion bound books) While we enjoy shopping for books on Amazon (and may have gone overboard a time or two), we love supporting local bookstores, and Pittsburgh has lots of them! Here are two of our favorites! Read the rest of this entry »

For about 11 months out of the year, we tend to strongly dislike commercials (except for Toyota ones) because they interrupt our favorite shows and movies every 15 minutes.

While we love the Coca-Cola polar bears and Hershey’s Kisses “bells”, our favorite commercials are the ones by Toyota. This holiday season, the Japanese auto brand does not disappoint with its new commercial, which showcases the Toyotathon event and features a cameo of the Tundra and RAV4. If you haven’t seen the commercial yet, you can watch it right here! Read the rest of this entry »

This model has been around since 1994, and it has only gotten better over the years!
