    Irish Cheese Toasties

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all who are celebrating! I went out with some friends last night after we watched Captain Marvel (enjoyed the movie and loved the character, btw) and had dinner. It wasn’t as crowded out as I had anticipated for the holiday weekend which was good for me. When we were deciding whether to go out to the bar or not, my friend said ” Jamie hates crowds and bad parking” and I said “Both are true”. Seriously, if a place has no parking or it’s difficult to find parking, it’s going to be hard for me to say yes. When browsing online recently looking for a…

    Green & White Flowers

    March 15, 2019 /

    I was scrolling through my camera roll on my phone and I came across this close up shot I took of green and white flowers back in 2017. I don’t really know why I took this photo. Maybe it was for my Instagram stories to show off a new bouquet I got. I don’t really know, but I thought I would share it on here for a flashback Friday, #fbf. And since St. Patrick’s Day is this weekend it seemed only fitting! Have a great Friday! I’ve felt so off this week and even yesterday I had to think for a minute about what day it was and was happy when…

    Kelly Green & Gold

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day! In celebration of the holiday, I wore a kelly green button down blouse to work yesterday with my gold layered necklace. If I were going somewhere other than work I would’ve also worn my embellished box purse, but since that wasn’t the case, I left it at home. Today is a low-key day. I have my monthly massage scheduled for this morning (so excited!), have some blog business to attend to this afternoon, and then hanging out with friends tonight for a game night, which I’ll be writing about in a few weeks for another bit of blog business. Since it is a low-key day I’m…

    Irish Soda Bread with a Twist

    March 13, 2018 /

    With St. Patrick’s Day coming up this weekend I wanted to share my version of Irish Soda Bread. When I was younger, my aunt used to always make Irish soda bread and eventually my mom started to make it herself at home, but she changed up the recipe a bit. It’s essentially like a typical soda bread recipe, except instead of raisins or currants we use craisins and we also add in walnuts. Last year, we changed it even further by adding some dried apricots and it was such a good addition to an already delicious recipe. For this recipe, I use: 3 cups all purpose flour 1/2 cup of…

Book Spotlight ✨ Explosive Chemistry by Paige E. Book Spotlight ✨ Explosive Chemistry by Paige E. Ewing @paigeewing_author came out last month and I was lucky enough to receive a copy but haven’t gotten to read it yet! Keep reading for the synopsis 📖

Set 30 years into a hopeful future where fossil fuels are obsolete in Fayetteville, North Carolina, a reluctant spider-kin fortune teller must solve the mystery of who killed four soldiers at Fort Liberty. With not quite enough– or maybe too much– help from an infuriating Fae Colonel, and before her dear friends, an oak goblin doctor and a fairy with a penchant for machine guns, end up as the next victims. Including a neurodivergent main character and a diverse cast of quirky companions, Explosive Chemistry is the second installment of the Liliana and the Fae of Fayetteville series that started with Precise Oaths.

I’m looking forward to getting into this series! 📚

Christmas in Coconut Creek by @karissakinwordwrite Christmas in Coconut Creek by @karissakinwordwrites was such a fun read and my favorite Christmas read so far this season! 🎄📚The novel follows Ophelia and Frankie. Ophelia lives in Colorado but takes a few weeks off work to visit her best friend in Florida for the holidays. Just for fun, she spends her time at the airport playing around on a dating app when she matches with a good looking guy who is former military. And that guy just so happens to be sitting next to her on the plane. There is definite chemistry, but just when the two think they'll never see each other again, they learn that Ophelia's best friend and Frankie's best friend/roommate are a couple so they will be spending a lot of time together for the next few weeks. ✈️

I loved Ophelia, Frankie, Natalia, and Matteo! I loved Ophelia and Frankie together. Their banter was so fun. It was really beautiful to watch their relationship grow and how they went from individuals who felt very solitary in many ways to realizing they could rely on each other too. 🥹🩷

The book is filled with laughs, banter, spice, and also a couple emotional moments that did have my heart aching at times!🩷

This is the first book the Dirty Delta series which is going to follow Frankie’s other best friends from Delta Team. I can’t wait!📖

Read this if you want a spicy Christmas romcom with the friends with benefits to lovers trope! My full review is on the blog ✨

P.S. this perfect photo op was from when I was knitting vacation in Florida and went to Disney Springs one evening!

Wreck the Halls by @tessabaileyisanauthor is my la Wreck the Halls by @tessabaileyisanauthor is my latest Christmas read! 🎄📖 The novel follows Melody Gallard and Beat Dawkins. Their mothers used to be a very popular rock duo that had a falling out and broke up 30 years ago. People have wanted them to reunite for year. Melody and Beat have always ignored the questions from the press and public, but when Beat is in need of some money he considers a reality tv offer that will pay him and Melody a million dollars if they can get their mothers to get back together to perform on Christmas Eve at Rockefeller Center. 🎶🎄

Melody spent all her teenage years being ridiculed by the press for her looks, braces, etc. so she has enjoyed being out of the spotlight as an adult. But when she finds out that Beat, her long time crush, is considering a reality show to reunite their mothers she seriously considers putting herself back out in the public eye. However, Beat has always felt protective of her – even from afar – and as much as he needs this show and reunion to work he doesn’t want to see Melody get hurt.🩷

Will the two who have secretly liked each other for the past 14 years finally get together? Will they succeed in getting their mothers to reunite?🩷

I really enjoyed this book! I would’ve loved an epilogue and a little more to the ending, but I loved Beat & Melody, the fun banter, the spice, and storyline! 📖🩷

Read this if you want a spicy Christmas romcom 🩷. My full review is on the blog ✨
