Weekend Joys in Books and More: February 12th
Happy Lunar New Year! Welcome to the Year of the Golden Ox today. There are some really cool (and free) ways to celebrate Chinese New Year online this year! This week has been a weird one for me, but had ended happily and well despite the challenges. I am excited to share some great links with you today – these are yummy, fun and thought provoking in turn. 1.) We make this recipe quite often in our house, and it is a big hit (so is this!) 2.) This might be worth getting Hulu just to watch it. I highly recommend going in knowing as little as possible (there are…

Weekend Joys, Books and 2021!
Hello everyone, Well, the first day of 2021, and I am here to share a few fun weekend treats to enjoy the first day of this new year! 1.) I don’t know what I find more amusing, this SNL skit, or these responses. 2.) Are you a leftover lover or a leftover hater? Either way, you may enjoy this new show. Now I need the cookbook. 3.) What should your first book of 2021 be? I got These Violent Delights, which is a Shangahi based adaptation of Romeo and Juliet and looks really cool. 4.) If you are wanting to read more in 2021, check out my post about ways…

Weekend Joys, Books and More: December 18th
Is it just me, or does it feel a little early to start doing the “Best of 2020” lists? Maybe I’m a bit of a grinch, but I always feel like these lists forget that one 12th of the year happens in December! This weekend, I may not have a best of list, but I do have some fun things to check out: 1.) These are hilarious, and the prints are probably one of my favorite gift ideas for outdoorsy people! 2.) These are some fun book pairings. 3.) I made this for an (outdoor) party the other night, and I think it may become my new appetizer disk for…

Hello everyone, The holiday season continues! Hanukkah started this week, and we are looking forward to actually getting some snow this weekend. In honor of snow and Hanukkah, here are 5 things to start your weekend off right: 1.) This is really for kids, but if you have kids in your life, this is a great Christmas/Hanukkah hybrid story 2.) Book Riot has a wonderful list of book-adjacent gifts for the book lovers in your life who already have enough books 3.) Have you heard of #Emojireads? If that isn’t your cup of tea, you may still like these modern classic retellings. 4.) Look at this beautiful and interesting project.…

Weekend Joys in Books and More: December 4th Edition
Hello, I hope you all had a great week and are enjoying settling into the holiday spirit. As one of our kiddos said yesterday when discussing what month it is, it is certainly “Christmas Month” in our house. Enjoy the links below and have a great weekend! 1.) Enjoy Stacey Mei Yan Fong’s weird and wonderful 50 Pies / 50 States project! 2.) This is by far the best The Christmas Carol adaptation out there. Guillermo del Toro agrees with me so I must be right. 3.) This website is super fascinating and fun to explore! I’ve been watching a lot of period TV, and this gives me major shelf…
