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! 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 Tweet-A-Weekers, See those dog-earred, 30-something-year-old, yellowing paperbacks above? Yes, well, in the summer shocker of all-time, my 13-year-old daughter R, lover of games, adventure, technology and her friends, read all of them in a couple weeks with zero prompting and LOVED THEM. Admittedly, they had been visibly resting on bookshelves in our home since before she was born and I had told her once or twice that the Anne...
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, 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...
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 — so I am feeling guilty because I didn’t get a chance to post last week, but forgive me, I was on vacation. The good news is that said vacation has provided me with the down time necessary to do some beach reading and come up with two awesome suggestions for you all. The perfect beach read, in my opinion, has to be a story without a lot...
