Over the years, I've checked out a couple of different meal planning & delivery services like Blue Apron and Hello Fresh. I am not a good cook and I pretty much hate meal planning so I've always thought having one of these services would be good for us. None of them have stuck and after seeing Hungryroot ads pop up on my Facebook over the … [Read more...]

LOVE the assortment of Christmas pajamas that launched on sale today on Zulily. I ordered 4 sets of Christmas PJs today when I saw they went on sale and I have to say, I'm pretty proud of myself. Most years, I find myself picking through the leftovers at Target and online by Thanksgiving when most of them are sold out. But once I saw the … [Read more...]

I have to admit to feeling a little oversaturated with it all. Butin the name of editorial sacrifice, I decided to go out on a limb and try Winc, a monthly wine-subscription service that everyone's … [Read more...]

My latest read was this book, Circe. I saw it listed somewhere along the way and thought it seemed up my alley as I always loved Greek Mythology as a kid. It was a great read! Slow at times but compelling and interesting. Circe is a nyphm, the daughter of Titan Helios, the God of the sun. She's a lesser God and in traditional lore she most notably … [Read more...]

You know it's a good book when you finish and you're sad it's over. I'm still reeling and thinking about Moloka'i, the historical book I finished last night. The book is set in the early 1900s in Hawaii, during one of the largest medical quarantines that ever happened in the US. (leprosy) The story follows Rachel Kalama, a 7 year old girl who … [Read more...]
