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, 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...
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...
Good morning and good week Treat-A-Weekers! I’ve a busy day and week ahead of me so let’s jump right in! I am currently obsessed with the show Younger. Haven’t heard of it? Well, I am not surprised because it airs on something called TV Land, stars Sutton Foster (a well-known Broadway actress) and Hillary Duff (yes, of Lizzie McGuire fame) and was just kind of off my radar. My husband travels a...
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...
Ok treat-a-weekers, this post is not going to be for everyone — action/adventure peeps, sci-fi folks, crime lovers, deep dramatic dive watchers – look away. This post is only for those of us who love the firsts — first love, first real friendship conflict, first true exploration of oneself/identity…basically teen stuff. So, the show I am recommending today is on Netflix and it’s called On My Block. Each episode is...
