Ahhh, Treat-A-Weekers, it has been too long. Sorry for the quiet last week.. in an effort to keep it real, if I am truly not feeling like spreading good vibes/writing (which is rare) based on something going on my life, I am not going to create a post on that week. I know you will understand. Rest assured, though, I feel a renewed positivity this week and want to share...
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, 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.

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...
(My version of the [skinless] roast chicken and chickpeas) Ever since I was in junior high, I pretty much dreaded Sunday nights. Sunday nights meant an end to the weekend break, fun, rest or socializing and lots and lots of homework. Our family of 5 growing up often had very busy weekends, but my mom, a pediatrician, somehow almost always made the time to create and feed us a yummy...
I am really excited about this post because I am about to help people of a certain age like mine (you know who you are) trying to throw a sophisticated, fun, effortless-looking (yeah, right) adult dinner party with the answer to your most pressing ambience question. What music should be played in the background? It has taken me 15 years to find the answer, but patience is a virtue and...
