Dear Treat-a-Weekers, As the famed lyrics of Led Zeppelin song go, “…it’s been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.” The times we are living through are painful and scary. I need to process and share…so here goes. Ever since October 7, I’ve been so sorrowful. I worry about the ability of people to feel for people outside of their particular identity...
I’m Back! You didn’t think I’d left you forever, did you? I’m sure you know why I’ve been gone. It’s been one big depress fest since the pandemic began and so I haven’t felt like writing about treats. That said, we’ve needed them now more than ever. So, resolved: I am going to try to write entries to share with you whenever I find things worth sharing that make me...
Well, friends, it’s been close to a year since I last wrote and what a year it has been. If I could fast forward through the tough, scary times that we are living through and get us all through to the future, I would do so in a heartbeat. And that’s strange for me, because I am someone who generally feels that time is going way too fast and I...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, Did you think I’d forgotten you, this blog and what we are together? Never! Now, before you say to yourself, “summer’s over lady, what’s with the title of this blog post?” you should know that I read, watched, and heard some true gems this summer. Even though summer is now almost a memory, I had to share my finds belatedly. I do so because even though we are...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, Recently some friends mentioned that they enjoy my blog and have been missing my posts. Nothing motivates me more than appreciation and flattery, so their wish is my command….and here you have it, a new blog post! Keep checking the blog this summer, as I will try to publish new installments every two to three weeks to help you all enjoy the best and brightest months of the...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, It’s me writing with a quick post about a scrumptious book that I inhaled over our February break called One Day in December by Josie Silver. Now that we live in the NorthEast, my kids get one week off in December and one week off in February and that makes me positively giddy. Why, you ask? Because February is a cold, bleak month and getting away to somewhere...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I am trying my hand at writing a fiction novel. Who knows if it will go anywhere, but it’s getting my creative juices flowing and I am enjoying researching aspects of the story! The bad news is that I have been spending all my spare time working on it, which means I have not been...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers! Happy New Year and I’m baaaaack……I’ve missed writing this blog and I hope you’ve missed reading it. I’ve been reading and watching a wide range of content over the last few weeks that I am excited to share with you. I read two great books which could not have been more different, Bad Feminist by Roxanne Gay and Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens, and a Bravo docudrama called Dirty John,...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers! Boy, am I behind the ball and do I owe you some treats! Here is a quick one – you know how sometimes you just want something mindless and funny to watch to get your mind off of anything and everything stressful? Well, my hubby and I watched Game Night last weekend and it was one hour and forty minutes of pure fun, preposterous scenarios, laughs and reasonable...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, It has been a while — I’ve had lots going on and insufficient treat-related inspiration to inform you about for a while, but I’m back with some atypical treats. As you know, I read and watch a lot of fluff and I like it (and I think many of you readers do, too). That said, as it is when you go to the movies and gorge on too...
