Yeah, 2 months in a row where I didn’t take a reading while out and about picture. It’s not that I forget, it’s just that I… don’t remember 🙂 There is a difference. It’s mostly that when I get somewhere, I don’t remember to bring my book or I have a small purse that dayContinue reading “July 2024 in Books”

Chef’s Tour of Pike Place
This trip in May marked the 5th (I think) time Jacob and I have gone to Seattle together. It’s our favorite place to go to – the flight is short and inexpensive and there’s always fun things to do. This trip, I wanted to try and do something we’ve never done before. I booked allContinue reading “Chef’s Tour of Pike Place”
June 2024 in Books
Don’t mind me in May 2024 stating that I have no idea why I’m not reading as much because duh, I’m pregnant. Most pregnant people I’ve talked to have said that their reading habits definitely took a hit while they were pregnant. I also feel like this month was very… sad. My 2 physical booksContinue reading “June 2024 in Books”
May 2024 in Books
You are not hallucinating. I only really read two books this month. Even better is that I finished one book within the first few days of the month and the last with only a few days of May to spare. Want to know the problem? Fucking. Allergies. Before moving into a more central part ofContinue reading “May 2024 in Books”
April 2024 in Books
I entered April so hopeful about the amount of books I was going to read and listen to. I leave April very humbled. I simply have not been in the mood. Is it because I’ve been absolutely binging the Mercy Thompson series? Maybe. I also tried to listen to at least 10 different audiobooks andContinue reading “April 2024 in Books”
Forest Hills Cemetery, Boston, Massachusetts (U.S.A.)
When my Greek family immigrated to the United States, they settled in Salem, Massachusetts (literally so freaking cool, I know). Flying around the United States has always been insanely expensive (in fact, it’s usually cheaper to fly to Europe) so I didn’t go visit a lot, but when I did, it was always magical. MassachusettsContinue reading “Forest Hills Cemetery, Boston, Massachusetts (U.S.A.)”
March 2024 in Books
When I started the Mercy Thompson books, I had low expectations. I had tried to get into 2 separate series’ in January because I was in the mood to get lost in a fantasy world. Moon Called really did the trick and even though there’s 13 books, I’ve been breezing through! As of March 30th,Continue reading “March 2024 in Books”
“I let myself feel sad.”
I have always been very emotional. Wait. Scratch that. I have always been told that I am very emotional. Note that difference? Despite my mom pointing out that I was not the child who had the frequent temper tantrums, it was always stated that I had some big feelings. “Oh, there’s Lauren, having feelings again.”Continue reading ““I let myself feel sad.””
Tea for Two at Lovejoys
I want to tell you a story about Little Lauren. When I was 5 or 6 years old, I was tasked to help my Thea clean my Puna’s collection of tea cups. My Puna had been collecting tea cups from all over Canada and the US for most of her adult life and she keptContinue reading “Tea for Two at Lovejoys”
You should probably stop avoiding thinking about sustainability and start actually doing something about it.
Around 2017, I started being really conscious of how much was waste as human beings because it was finally brought to my attention. Did you know that around 1.3 billion ton of food is wasted, worldwide, each year? Or that 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been produced since the 1950s? Have you been toContinue reading “You should probably stop avoiding thinking about sustainability and start actually doing something about it.”
