Delicious Finds & Tips To Brighten Your Week

Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, Have you missed me? I hope so! I was MIA from the blog because I was on a summer holiday with my family. Clearly, I enjoyed it a little too much because I came back to Boston having gained 4 pounds! Ice cream, pasta and throwing caution to the wind will do that to you, I guess. I don’t regret a single delicious thing I ate, but I...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, So this recommendation comes from and is dedicated to one of my college besties, Susan. Susan and I haven’t seen each other for over 22 years but despite that, our friendship still shines bright in my mind and my heart. Why, you ask? Well in the sea of interesting, passionate, purpose-filled people who were my college peers, she and I, two gals who had very little obviously in...
“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way–things I had no words for.” Georgia O’Keeffe Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, So anyone who knows me, knows that I am not at all artistic. In my entire life there have been three pieces of art that I have created, two of which were in elementary school (Ann Bancroft, remember our Little Rabbit’s Loose Tooth painting?...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, So before you jump to the wrong conclusion, this is not a post about whiskey and the movie starring Sally Field & Julia Roberts. (Sorry to disappoint all 2 of you blog readers who were rooting for that post). This, post, y’all, is dedicated to my slow-cooked, journey to a wholly unexpected love of southern living — life in Houston, Texas, to be precise. And it...
Greetings, Treat-A-Weekers, If ever there was ever a need for bursts/breaks of escapism in our lives, that time is now….which brings me to my recommendation of Sweetbitter. Premiering on the channel, STARZ, only 1 season of this 6-episode show has been released (but I am fairly certain a second season will follow) and it’s based on the national bestselling book by the same name by Stephanie Danler. Danler is one of the...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, I am so excited to share my blog post this week because I am coming off of a joy-filled, gorgeous weekend spent with my extended family celebrating the biggest religious holiday of our year, Eid, and writing this blog will make the good vibes last longer! Eid, is an Arabic word meaning “feast, celebration, or holiday” and the Eid my family and Muslims around the world just celebrated...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, So my attainable goal (I hope) with this blog is to entertain you. As such, I do my best to find books, movies, shows and more that will capture your attention and give you a bit of a boost. My aspirational goal is to give you ideas that could elevate your life in some small way (I can’t help it, it’s the girl scout in me). So, with...
Hello Treat-A-Weekers, So, post move I have been going through boxes and boxes of memorabilia and old keepsakes that I haven’t really looked at in decades. Pictures, books, mixed tapes and letters have all been reviewed in an effort to decide what to keep or purge. Of all the things that I am happiest I saved, it’s the letters. Do you remember what is was like to walk to your...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, It’s Memorial Day Monday and our family spent two wonderful days with dear friends who came to see us from Houston. Because they were visiting, we had the opportunity to do the Boston tourist thing…we walked the Freedom Trail, viewed some sobering and awe-inspiring monuments commemorating American heroes and historical events, and saw the beautiful tribute pictured above of 37,000 flags put in the ground by 700 people...
Ok Treat-A-Weekers, who else is still basking in the feel good afterglow of the modern royal nuptials of Meghan and Harry?? I rose at 4:30 am this past Saturday (I was fasting for Ramadan too so this is not quite as crazy as it sounds because I had to eat breakfast before sunrise). I padded around in my PJs, baked fresh muffins for my teen and her two friends who...
