Yabba Dabba Do: What’s Going On

April 29, 2019 by Tanya // 8 Comments

I know. Yabba Dabba Do? Seriously, Tanya? Are you nuts? Nope. Maybe? Or I’m just in a Yabba Dabba Do kind of mood. You know – the kind where you’re feeling a bit goofy and loving it? So you just roll in your Yabba Dabba Do-ness and share all the things you’re loving, enjoying, secretly desiring/hating and so on.

Hi, My Name is What? My Name is Who? My Name is Tanya, Crazy Cat Lady.

My friends, Rebecca Jo and Audrey, did reintroduction posts on their blogs a month or two ago, so you know what that means – I’m copying them because blogging is 85% copying your friends. 😀 Kidding. Sort of. But in all seriousness, people join us on our blogging journey at different times and let get real: your (or my) About page hasn’t been updated since blog launch. So this is a nice way to catch newish readers up on our life’s story because sometimes we mention something offhand, assuming our readers know, but in reality, everyone be like “Whatcha talking about, Willis” or Tanya in my case.

Book Stuff: Quirks, Rants and Deep Thoughts

April 18, 2019 by Tanya // 12 Comments

The second Tuesday of every month is my favorite day because it’s when I share what I read last month. After last week’s Show Us Your Books link-up, I started thinking about some of the things I love and hate about reading, because it is a love/hate relationship. Don’t get me wrong – the love side is infinitely stronger, but I ain’t a damsel in distress in a bad romance novel either. Ya know the type: blinded by love and unable to see flaws or poor plotting or annoying tropey crap, she gives her youth, beauty and time to a lousy book, blissfully, unaware of the far superior books out there … within reach and free with a library card.

March Bookshelf: The FLOTUS, Assassin, and Detective Month

April 8, 2019 by Tanya // 42 Comments

I don’t mean to brag but … I read three REAL books! That’s right, three REAL books, not two books and one cookbook but THREE books. My reading mojo is slowly coming back in spurts. A day or two of intense book love followed by a week or two of ambivalence towards all things book-related. But that’s okay because I read three books. And I even liked them. Maybe even loved one. Let’s hear it for me! And books!

Blueberry Cream Cheese Pancakes

As promised, here are Chrissy Teigen’s Blueberry Cream Cheese Pancakes from her latest cookbook, Cravings: Hungry for More. These bad girls (or boys or gender neutral pancakes) caught my eye right away because carbs, my almost unnatural love of breakfast, and carbs. Oh. Did I mention carbs already? Oh well.

February Bookshelf: 3 Books Down

Oh, look at me. Reading three books last month. That’s right. I read three books, which is one more than the previous month. I. Am. On. Fire. Not literally, of course. I paid attention in elementary school and know to stop, drop and roll versus blog while burning. Sadly, I think some would continue blogging until burnt to a crisp.
