Hey all! How’s 2018 been treating you? Since the start of the New Year, we’ve been recuperating from some nasty illness that has been making its way through our house.

How to make a mini studio for under $5
Necessity is the mother of invention. -English proverb Late last year, I launched my Etsy store–and there is a lot to learn. It isn’t just about putting up products, you have to take pictures. And good ones. I am working with my Samsung S8’s camera. Now, it takes good photos, but I needed to learn…

Christmas in the city: Tea at the Windsor Arms
I like holiday traditions. They get you into the holiday mood. For me, it doesn’t feel like Christmas unless I’ve watched Die Hard (yes, it’s a Christmas movie and I haven’t watched yet for the season), smelled black cake baking (Mom baked on Saturday), and Christmas Eve service at church. I also love spending…

Friday fun: Food
I have become the type of person who is happy to make plans, then suffers regret when I have to show up to these plans. It’s not that I don’t want to spend time with my friends–it’s just that the energy that needs to be expended to go out is sometimes too much. That is,…

Friday fun: Happy Halloween!
My parents were never into Halloween. The labelled it “some kind of North American nonsense.” In Barbados, there was no Halloween.
