Happy Wednesday! Maybe TMI, but the heels of my palms have been so dry lately. Please give me all of you hand lotion recommendations. As a note, I do not like the texture of a balm.

I invite you to share some more in the … Continue reading Links: Dogs, Drag Queens, & More

Welcome back! How are we doing? I’m exhausted. It’s one of the weeks that has a lot in terms of work, social responsibilities, and holiday errands.

Welcome back! We’ve made it to Wednesday. Congratulations! I have personal training on Wednesdays, so most of my day is a sense of dread up until my appointment. However, I’m always glad I went when the session is done. Even if my trainer kicks my ass. I’ve been attending sessions since July and I think I just need to come to terms that I will never be a gym person. Are any of you the … Continue reading Links: Goodnight Moon, Glamor Shots, & More
Happy Wednesday! We’ve reached November. How did we get here? Did October blink by for anyone else? The approach to the holiday seasons always put me into a kind of funk. I’m trying to focus on coziness, reading, soups – all good self-care things to fight against the fact that it gets so dark, so early now in New England. Truly the worst part of the winter seasons for me. Do you have any saving … Continue reading Links: House Tours, Teen Vogue, & More
Welcome back! How is October over already? I’ve been in deep in cozy activities. I made soup. I’ve been bundled up in blankets, playing PowerWash Simulator 2.

Welcome back to Links! We’re about a month out from Thanksgiving and I’m slowly working on my share of the menu. For the past couple years, we’ve done an “all sides” Thanksgiving, because I don’t want to bother with a turkey. It’s just two of us and even a breast would probably be too much. I also think sides are the best part of the holiday anyway. My partner is usually in charge of the … Continue reading Links: Birding, a New Romance Bookstore, & More
Welcome back, everyone! It’s the middle of the week, which means now we get to start thinking about Friday. Let’s be honest, though, there are some weeks when I start thinking about Friday on Sunday evening. I’m already seeing Christmas stuff despite Halloween still being two weeks away. I know there’s the recurring joke that Christmas decor is getting put out earlier and earlier and I think that’s pretty accurate. This year, I’m pretty meh … Continue reading Links: Romance Coverage, Adaptation News, & More
Welcome back! For me, I think things are best described as busy, but boring. My wedding dress has officially been dropped off for alterations, our household is obsessed with Hades II, and I’m already eager for winter vacation. The tourism in my area is about to hit its peak and I don’t love it. That being said, October is absolutely flying. Does anyone else feel the same way? Anything exciting on your calendar or are you in … Continue reading Links: Quilt Shows, Kresley Cole, & More
Welcome back! This week has given me the first hint of fall. I love a crispy morning. We’re also in the middle of getting a new porch since the old one had only a couple years left anyway. I can’t wait to enjoy a coffee on the new one, wrapped in a big ol’ blanket. Aside from that, I’ve been fully on the Hades II train. Anyone else with me? … Libro.fm is hosting a “read-in” … Continue reading Links: Emily Henry, Banned Books, & More
