Coffee 101: Vanilla Syrup

Guys, I spend too much money on coffee. That’s really no surprise. One of my goals is to start making my coffee at home more often. I went to my local grocery store to stock up on flavored syrups and I found nothing. That’s the joy of living rural. But the great thing is coffee […]

The Year of Less (Or Three Months)

I’m a certified shopaholic. It runs in my family, so I come by it honest. However, I’m sure it’s no shocker but inflation has dampened the excitement of my favorite hobby. So now I need to find a hobby that doesn’t involve my debit card. I was browsing through my library and found The Year […]

Colibri Planner Unboxing

I have been loyal to Happy Planner for years. Since college if I’m remembering correctly. But I ran across this Colibri Planner on Facebook and it looked like it was everything I needed in one place. It’s called The Works, which brings to mind my nachos order at the local drive inn theater, but I […]

What’s In My Bookish Work Bag

I have an oldie but a goodie for you today. I used to love what’s in my bag posts. Honestly, I think I’m a tad nosey. But I’ve noticed a few more on Instagram lately and I wanted to join the fun. So, here’s what’s in my bookish work bag. Vera Bradley Beige and White […]

Life in the Wildwood: A Quick AeroGarden Update

I don’t have much to update AeroGarden wise this month. All of the herbs except the thyme and thai basil were thriving. I thought if I transplanted them, it might help the other two. Ignore the duct tape. If you ever have empty spots they need to be covered to prevent algae. They make pretty […]

Simple Joys

Happy Monday, everyone. It’s been a weird reading week. Meaning I haven’t read hardly anything at all, so I don’t have much to chat about. I will say I’ve started Jade City and, so far, I’m really enjoying it. I’m so afraid of jinxing that though because I’ve said that about several other books that […]
