Favorite Books of 2023: Dragons, Celebrity Memoirs, and More
I think it’s fun to look back at the books I’ve read each year and pick a few favorites. If you missed last year, catch up. I always love reading people’s book recaps, and rarely do I scroll through without adding at least one new book to my “want to read” list. Considering that the […]
Cozy Cookbook Review: The Don’t Panic Pantry Cookbook
I’m kicking off the 2024 Cozy Cookbook reviews with our review of the Don’t Panic Pantry Cookbook by Noah Galuten. Many people have an overstuffed cabinet in their kitchen with ingredients purchased for a specific recipe months ago. This cookbook helps use some of those pantry items and helps people answer the question, “What am I […]
Apartment Building Peep Show
This post is from the archives when I lived in New York City, but honestly, still relevant to my current city living (except we are in a townhouse now on the West Coast instead of an apartment building.) When you live in an apartment building in an urban area, there’s a good chance your window […]
My Taylor Swift Eras Tour Recap
June 23, 2023, is a day that I will likely not forget. I was lucky enough to find myself in the stands of US Bank Stadium with three of my best friends and thousands of other screaming fans watching Taylor Swift perform her Eras Tour. If you want a one-minute recap, watch this reel. Before […]
How to Start a Book Club
Building new friendships as an adult can be challenging, often leaving us feeling awkward and uncomfortable. Personally, I’ve found it increasingly difficult as I grow older and become more set in my ways. However, I’ve discovered that books can serve as a great icebreaker and conversation starter. Every reader loves recommendations and being asked for […]
My Favorite Books of 2022
I will miss my Goodreads goal by just a few books, so I’ll keep the same goal of 52 books for next year. With the 47 books that I read this year, I have a few stand out favorites. I read more fiction than non-fiction this year, but there’s a good mix on my favorites […]
The Best Things I Watched in 2022
Winter is the perfect time to curl up on the couch and watch a movie or a television show. 2022 was a solid year for entertainment. When we adopted a new dog, we definitely found ourselves spending more time at home hanging out with him, so we watched a ton of great stuff. I pulled […]
Currently…
Summer has started and Seattle is finally getting into the 70-degree zone and I am excited about it. Hopefully, you are reading this from a place that has been warming up and staying dry as well. I’ve decided to link up with a few other bloggers to share some quick updates about life over here […]
Fight the February Funk
Is it just me or is February one of the worst months of the year? It’s short, dark, cold, and just feels like we are waiting for the next thing to happen (mostly spring). Last year, I read an article in the NY Times about a group of friends who each submitted a few daily […]
The Best Slippers You Can Buy
I post a lot of random and dumb stuff on Instagram, but a few weeks ago, I made a great decision. I asked people what the best slippers were and I was flooded with options. I should know better that people are passionate about loungewear. It’s part of the reason this website was born. But […]
