Delicious Finds & Tips To Brighten Your Week

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, 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! 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, 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...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, I had to go on a week-long, all-regularly-scheduled-programming hiatus because “Mom Life” totally overcame me as my little guy (Elmo, above) had a fever for 5 days. Before you stop reading this post thinking to yourself, gag, not another sappy blog post about the worrying yet fulfilling life of a Mom; rest assured, this post is not that. Rather, this post is for those who know being a...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, Hope you had a lovely weekend! I know I did as I got to catch up with some of my favorite girlfriends. Whenever we are together, which is all too rare these days, we share our reading, watching, food, exercise and all-the-things-we-are-loving-right-now recommendations with each other. After 8 years of close friendship born of being moms of girls who were elementary school friends, we now know each other’s...
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...
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...
