Welcome back, y’all! It’s April! Both a great and terrible time for me! April means my birthday, but it also could mean the start of seasonal allergies. Allergies are really a wild card, considering last year we still had a snowfall in mid-April. I also have yet to find any over the counter medicines that consistently work well for me. Today, I’ll be seeing the 25th anniversary showing of Princess Mononoke and I’m pretty excited! Do … Continue reading Links: Kickstarters, Swaddling, & More→
January is coming to an end already. And then it’s time for the worst month of the year! At least for New England. There’s just something about the winter in February that just…sucks. In continuing with my theme of giving things I can look forward to each month, February will be finishing my tattoo! I’ll be getting the color and shading done and I’m so stoked to see what the artist has planned. Then in … Continue reading Links: Sleepy Podcasts, Newsletters, & More→
Hey hey! It’s Wednesday! Honestly, this is my least favorite time in New England. My allergies are still present, but there’s also a bit of a heat wave. And, if you live in the area, you know that central air isn’t super common in houses. Fun! I am just a sweaty mess for most of the day. … Thank you to Beth, who sent this link my way. The podcast 99% Invisible did an episode on … Continue reading Links: Milkshakes, Music, & More→

As with every podcast episode, there will be a transcript so you can read along if you like. (Thanks, Garlic Knitter!) And here’s the funner … Continue reading Smart Podcast Trashy BookClub – Wanna Tell Us What to Read?→

Hi there! It’s Wednesday Links time! Many of today’s links of something to do with romance news (how fitting), but I’ve thrown in some cute animals and pretty clothing for good measure. I’m in the midst of allergy season, so it’s hard for my brain to focus on anything else. … RT Reno kicks off next week! SBTB will be doing a live taping of the podcast on Thursday, 5/17 at 5:30pm local time. This … Continue reading Links: So Much Romance News, Fashion, & Mr. Pirate→
Did you know that it’s Wednesday?! Thank you for all the birthday wishes last week. I had a great time eating some delicious pizza and A Quiet Place was pretty good. Not too spooky, but I’ve also had a weird interest in horror movies lately. Fingers crossed I’m getting braver! Additionally, Labyrinth is coming back to theaters April 29th to May 2nd. I plan on going and I invite you to check your area too! … Romance meets Jenga … Continue reading Links: Gerard Butler, Kobo, & Kickstarter→

Time for more podcast episode recommendations. I know many of you are like me and listen to an increasing number of podcasts, so here are a few episode recommendations I think you might like. Episode 7 of Queery with Cameron Esposito in an interview with Stephanie Beatriz, and it is one of those episodes that’s so good I listened to it twice, and asked my husband to listen to it, too. They talk about eating disorders, … Continue reading October 26, 2017 Podcast Recommendations→
After our first and second installments of Podcast and Episode recommendations, my playlist has grown considerably. I listen to podcasts while walking my dogs and while cooking, and I find that sampling new shows is both fascinating, affirming, and intimidating. Fascinating because I learn about so many new cool things, affirming because I’m so excited when there are new shows, and intimidating because I pay closer attention to finer details of my own podcast after … Continue reading September 21, 2017: Podcast Recommendations→
