Frrrrrrrrrrrreederleedeeeee! Well we’re nine days into January. The new year. How are you all feeling? Motivated? Overwhelmed? Fresh? Anxious? A little giddy? A little rundown? Same. I don’t do resolutions. Never ever have. It’s too much pressure and they make me cranky. And I’m already perimenopausal so we’re simply having none of it. Don’t get […]
In da (bewk) cluuuuub! (<–sorry, these things can’t be helped.) So, four are actually missing from this stack. Two I borrowed (Flicker in the Dark and One Golden Summer), one I lent out (West with Giraffes) and another I misplaced. (Valley of the Dolls – gah!) But here’s most of my 2025 haul! (is haul […]
Let’s finish the year on a comfy note! A creamy note. With chicken and rice. You dig? This is one of those feel-it-in-your-bones dinners. The meal that just hits, ya know? It’s familiar, nostalgic, nutritious and so good you might just shed a tear or 80. It will become a recipe that you don’t need […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrho ho hooooo! (so, so sorry) Hi! How are you guys? I don’t have much today because a) who does on December 19th and b) . . . I forgot what I was saying. But! What I’d love today is to know what your Christmas traditions are. What does Christmas EVE and Christmas DAY normally […]
And for the final gift guide of the week! This one has, well, a little bit of everything. Fashion, cozy, kitchen, home stuff. They’re all things I have and love and have been talking about for years. Hey, if it ain’t broke . . . The Madewell Transport Tote! I’ve had this bag for almost […]
Gift Guide Number Two! Let’s tackle some simple skin care and makeup. Mostly makeup. Lil’ bit of skin care. Tiny bit. Never mind. You know my love for Merit makeup. It’s on the luxurious side, price point wise and quality wise. (I have a couple of simple dupes down below if this isn’t the game […]
Welcome to one of three mini gift guides this week! Today is dedicated to the bread lovers out there. Tomorrow will be skincare and makeup. Thursday will be miscellaneous. TBD. Still working on that’n. But! Let’s celebrate baking bread and the wonders of it in thy soul cavern. A bread cloche! I’ve had this one […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrr! More like brrrrrrrrr! Am I right? Sorry. Awful. I’ll just dive into the heavy part of this post. We lost Charlie on Monday. Our beloved dog, who we’ve have for 18 entire years. We said goodbye to her Monday late afternoon at 4:22pm. She’d been sick-ish for a while. Nothing that we knew of […]
It’s December, how about a little crusty bread? (also it’s life, how about a little crusty bread?) We all make no-knead bread. Yes, I know. And I’ve shown you different versions on this blog. One with cheese, one with poppy seed, another with cinnamon and raisin. You are correct. But today, let’s have a very […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrriday before Thanksgiviiiiiiiing! (<–I get excited about things.) Okay. I was doing Connections yesterday and I’m sorry but TOOTH PULP? What the hell is tooth pulp and why do those words ever need to be back to back? Ewwwww and I just looked it up and it’s the part that holds all the nerves, blood […]
