Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I’m getting over the flu, so that should give plenty of indication how my weekend went. I also got to see a little bit of my partner’s hometown and grabbed some delicious bagels from a local shop (toasted sesame with bacon scallion cream cheese). I love me a bagel, though the best I’ve had was in Montreal (St. Viateur – sesame with just butter). Any fellow bagel lovers … Continue reading Links: Fruit, Book Binding, & More

Hey, all! It’s Wednesday links time! How was your weekend? I finally moved the last of my furniture from my old apartment and I feel such relief. There are a few things to wrap up still, like donating other pieces of furniture left behind and cleaning, but the most stressful part is done. Now I can unpack my extensive candle collection and get to burnin’. (Also…the books. Dear god, the books.) … From Nakia at WildStarFibers.com: I … Continue reading Links: Yarn, Video Games, & More

We’ve made it to November! How are we all feeling? I started seeing Christmas stuff event before Halloween was even over. I’m not anti-Christmas necessarily (though I don’t love a holiday romance), but can one ding dang holiday finish before we start celebrating another?! Especially one that is nearly two months away. Okay, end rant. How did everyone’s Halloween go? My party plans were postponed, though my house was relatively peaceful. We don’t get many kids down … Continue reading Links: Mice, Mundane Halloween, & More

It’s Wednesday! The week is half over! Firstly, let me thank everyone for the “staying cool” suggestions in the last links. Super helpful and it seems like you all enjoyed the tips and tricks as well. I had a lovely day walking around a vintage market and then quickly relaxing in some shade with a beer and empanadas. It’s also Memorial Day weekend in the States. Do any of you have plans for the long … Continue reading Links: Horses, Self-Care, & More

It’s the New Year! How are we feeling so far? Hopeful? Full of dread? Both? Both is definitely an option. I have started 2022 with getting my septum pierced. I absolutely love it and I’m glad I finally did it. Next up this week is a fresh haircut and getting my eyebrows waxed. I don’t know what it is, but nothing makes me feel like a whole new person than an eyebrow wax. You also … Continue reading Links: Grammar, Birds, & More

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I feel like this week is just flying by, but it may just be me. Obviously the Meghan and Harry interview has been a topic of conversation on Slack. Did you watch it? Oprah is certainly a master at the art of the interview. Let’s get into some links, shall we? … I love photography contests, especially when nature is involved. Here are the 2020 winners of the Ocean Art … Continue reading Links: Science, Brendan Fraser, & More

It’s the last Wednesday in January! Who let that happen? We have something very exciting this weekend that will probably make you all feel a bit verklempt. I don’t want to spoil it, but check back on Sunday! Additionally, February is right around the corner and we all know what that means: a deluge of misinformed romance reading op-eds. We really should make a drinking game for those. … Thanks to AHP for sending this … Continue reading Links: Jessie’s Girl, Fashion, & More

Since I’m traveling, it’s hard to have a concept of time right now. Spending time with my family is like my very own torturous Groundhog Day. Hope you all are staying safe and comfortable, depending on whichever season you’re experiencing. Also…it’s July, which always feels like the longest month of the year. … If you’re in the market for new fashionable masks with fabric options, eShakti is now making them! They are a little backed … Continue reading Links: Masks, National Parks, & More

Hey there! My brain is currently mush, so if I’ve already posted some of these links in the last couple weeks, my apologies. I was at a wedding this weekend at a distillery. It was cold, but thankfully there was an open bar, prime rib, and some of the most delicious wedding cake I’ve ever had. I say this as someone who has attend five weddings this year. … Just in case you want to … Continue reading Links: Hamilton, Dracula, & More

A Short Tour of a Japanese Bookstore

Mango instruction page teaching me how to say Is there a bookstore around here? in Japanese

This is going to be a terribly indulgent post. At the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019, I was in Japan with my family. This trip was in part to celebrate my older son’s bar mitzvah and to satisfy our collective enjoyment of really long flights. (As I write this, the 14 hour jet lag is still kicking my ass.) We spent time in Kyoto, Hiroshima, Osaka, and Tokyo, and loved every minute. … Continue reading A Short Tour of a Japanese Bookstore

It’s the last Wednesday of March 2016! Seriously, where has the time gone? Regardless, enjoy some links! Shout out to our own Elyse for passing this around. As someone who is addicted to all kinds of “housewife” and “women living it up” shows, this Ghanaian quasi-reboot of Sex in the City seems amazing and of course, everyone is gorgeous: These women and the men they date are Africa’s 1 percent. They’re highly educated and come from families … Continue reading Links: Romance Around the World, Book Vending Machines, & Explorers
