AAA reports a gallon of regular gas in Maryland is around $2.20 as of Monday, an increase of 11 cents from this time last year.

Oreo Cookie Candy Bar? Oh My!!

My kids LOVE Oreo Cookies.  They beg me to buy them the Red Velvet, Pumpkin Spice, and Cookie dough ALL the time.

Oreo Cookies also come in Peanut Butter, Lemon Twist, Banana Split, Limeade, Neapolitan, Marshmallow Crispy, and Gingerbread.

Now we are learning that Oreo is coming out with their first ever candy bar–and people who have tried them say they are amazing!

One available right now is the Milka Oreo Big Crunch Chocolate Bar. This bar features a crunchy layer of the classic Oreo chocolate cookie that’s surrounded by vanilla cream and coated in silky Milka milk chocolate. Other flavors will be coming soon!

Super Moon–What’s The Hype About?

Today’s ‘Super Moon’ is spectacular!  Scientists say we will not see another until November 25 2034!

The full moon of November 14, 2016 is the closest, biggest, and brightest supermoon of the year. The last time a supermoon of this magnitude was seen, was on January 26, 1948.

According to NASA, today the moon’s orbit is the closest to Earth in over 68 years.

When the moon is closest to Earth, astronomers describe it as being in the perigee stage. When the moon is further away, it is called apogee.

A perigee supermoon looks about 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than an apogee full moon.
