Book Review: We Should All Be Feminists

Book Review: Fever 1793

Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson4 out of 5 stars I read this book in July but I'm just not in the headspace to do detailed reviews on books. It’s all I can do to even read a book right now during COVID. The next few book reviews aren’t going to be much or too in-depth but I’m at least … [Read more...]

After a 5 year wait, Apalachicola oysters are back After a 5 year wait, Apalachicola oysters are back to being harvested and they sure are good! #ApalachicolaOysters #ApalachicolaBay #Apalachicola #Oysters
For the 1st time, I finally purchased the Advent c For the 1st time, I finally purchased the Advent calendar in December from @lettersandlattesllc.

I opened each day up to a cool pen surprise. However, I'm just now getting to actually play with them and do the swatch card she includes, and watching each video for the style of lettering with that pen on the card. 

This was such a cool way to try out new pens. There was only 1 out of 24 that I had tried before so that meant 22 new pens and 1 new pencil for me! And that is saying a lot becuase I have hundreds of pens and pencils in my collection! Great packaging as well. I didn't spoil the surprise and open them all as soon as I got them but waitied for each day. Can't wait for the 2026 version.

I'm introverted and usually found with my nose in a book and pen/pencil in hand. I'm addicted to yoga, lip gloss, dumplings, and have an intense love for Scotland and Paris. It's been said I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n roll. Read More…
