PepsiCo Puppy Partnership

My husband and I have lived in our house for about four years now. This past weekend was one of the wildest, craziest weekends we've ever had there. I'm pretty much exhausted.

Happy Anniversary, Marty McFly

It’s the 25th anniversary of Back to the Future, and the filmmakers celebrated it with a special DVD release last month.

Here’s some photos from the cast’s reunion on “Good Morning America." We also found this really fun Facebook group dedicated to the reference “I’d like a Pepsi Perfect Please!”
