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...
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! 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, 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, Remember my post in April “For the Young Adult At Heart” about the Netflix TV show On My Block? Well, if you liked that one, you are going to LOVE this week’s recommendation…Netflix Movie To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before starring Noah Centineo as Peter Kavinsky. Before you get all judgey on me and ask yourselves what I am doing watching a teen movie for fun, in my defense, I did...
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...
So, once upon a time, I was an American Expat living in England. Before you go thinking, that sounds cool/fun/exciting, you should know that I was miserable in modern-day London-town (specifically the Richmond/Twickenham area) for one whole year. I hold my husband, the weather, and movies like Notting Hill, Love Actually, and Bridget Jones Diary personally responsible for my predicament. You see, we moved for my husband’s professional “opportunity of...
Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, this next recommendation is not normally something I’d include in my blog because it does not qualify as a “feel good” – there is not a single sweet or saccharine thing about it. That said, the twists and turns in the plot of this movie and the story and the amazing acting by Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett who play two high school teachers make it an unexpected...
Okay, so my entire family is in town – parents, sister, nephews, brother etc., so this post is going to be a quickie. You know how sometimes your brain is too fried to cozy up to a good book and you just want to watch something delicious that comforts you? Well, I have two Irish inspired treats– one for the more refined palette and one for those of you...
