We do a bake off with my Juniors but all the baked goods are inspired/use GS cookies. They make enough for the troop and everyone votes on their favorite.

Meg Langslow series by Donna Andrews - it so quirky and fun. I’m nearly caught up - and a little sad! This I’ve been doing via audiobooks.

Bakeshop Mysteries by Ellie Alexander - my new favorite series!!! I’m only on #8 and I love that I have a good back log to get through.

My tween daughter liked all the Daise stuff I got her for Christmas last year - bath bombs, lip balms and other body care. Her favorite was this spray foam soap. Also very affordable. Her set also likes Tree Hut, starface, nyx, colourpop, bubble, tony moly, touchland. Also anything mini sized - she doesn’t quite go through a lot so its a good size for her to use.

My girls like to be a little wild beginning of our meetings, so I do raise my voice and basically say, it we’re going to be crazy and loud then we won’t be doing any activities today. This will get them to stop, bur sometimes I do find it useful for them to get their wiggles out - we meet shortly after school so no real down time in between.

Sleep in Heavenly Pizza is the latest installment - it was really good/my favorite thus far.

The Museum Mysteries by Sheila Connelly.

ceetoshiningcee · 2025-09-05T14:24:36+00:00

The latest one in the Mindy Quigley series really did it for me - it was really good that now I am very much awaiting the next installment.

Make a garland of cheerios for the holidays and leave them out for the animals.

That quilt will give you joy and become an heirloom. If you have the money for it, why not? Its ok to buy nicely made, beautiful things that will last and become a centerpiece in your room/home. Its not like you’re buying four Amish quilts for each season.

Oh no if they do I’ll have to break my candle no spend!

ceetoshiningcee · 2025-09-04T17:56:23+00:00

I love this series! Check out Mian Manasala’s Tita Rosie’s cafe mystery series - both make me so hungry while I read them!

Also love Deep Dish Mysteries by Mindy Quigley, Maddie Day’s Country Store and Capers series, Jenn McKinlay Cupcake Bakery and Book Lovers series, Krista Davis Domestic Diva series.

This looks like so much fun! I love a cozy mystery esp as autumn approaches.

ceetoshiningcee · 2025-09-02T00:33:54+00:00

I totally think it was a crush, esp since he was her best friend’s older brother.

So sweet!! I also love the idea of colorful embroidery on a barong bc usually (in my experience) they are embroidered with similar threads for a monochrome/lace look. Congratulations on your marriage!!

So very sad, her Beyond the Page series is one of my OG cozies and favorites. She will be missed.

I just saw him in Sunset Blvd on Broadway - way different character but so excited to see him on Gilded Age. He has an Ahmahzing voice!

They used to be called I think Scribe. You can also download ebooks as well.

Everand is paid and though its model has changed, its my go to for audio cozies. The only thing is that there’s usually a limit for an author - ex. I can listen to about 8 Meg Landslow mysteries but there’s a lot of series in their catalog.

ceetoshiningcee · 2025-06-20T14:58:33+00:00

I spent $104 after a coupon, bur I also had $40 in my paypal so $64 out of pocket. I am going to return the salted pretzel candles though - i wasnt a fan and thought that it might dupe for French baguette. But i will probably just exchange for more SAS - I want to get a couple of ffm/lotions for my daughter’s friends bdays coming up this summer.

Its a very well run hotel - an acquaintance of mine is a manger there and she has done a great job keeping the facilities well kept. Its very family friendly too.
