This past week I participated in “A Marvelous Week,” a Marvelous Mrs. Maisel-based challenge hosted by @katieemilyl on Instagram. Katie and I were both finalists in the Made Like Maisel contest in 2019 (she won first place, I won third). We share a love of all things retro and Mrs. Maisel, so I was very excited when she came up with this challenge! Each day had a different Maisel-related theme. Monday was “We Got the Rabbi!” and the theme was […]

For the first time in a pretty long while, I had nothing prepared for the blog today. I sat down to figure it out and realized that I don’t have any recent makes pictures to share, and I am in mid-read of the next installment of the BSC reread series (usually a good standby post when I’m at a loss for something else). So today I thought I would talk about something I’ve mentioned on my Instagram account a few […]

I am slowly but surely coming to the end of this BSC reread journey. This installment sees the end of the Super Special, with the final one of the series outside of the Friends Forever books. This seems like a really big milestone in this journey, so without further ago let’s get to the books. In Abby and the Best Kid Ever (#116), we see the return of Lou McNally who has gone from Worst Kid Ever to Best Kid […]

Here’s a doozy of a BSC post, chockfull of more books than usual. I kept to the five book format, but in between those books was a new super special as well as two of the mysteries. I’ve been waiting for the mysteries to start, not because I remember them being particularly good, but because I wanted to see if they fit into the timeline I’ve been tracking or if they took place in a kind of “alternate mystery BSC […]

I don’t think I have ever had time go so slow and somehow simultaneously creep up on me as much as I have experienced during this quarantine. After my Tuesday post, I planned to write out some details about the Frozen costumes, and here we are at 8:23 p.m. on Thursday night with no post to speak of! Thankfully, I also recently finished the tenth book in the Baby-Sitter’s Club series, so my next post could focus on the next […]

Today I finally had time to get some pictures of the dresses I made for myself to wear to Frozen, Jr. Believe it or not, this is only the second year I’ve made a concentrated effort to make myself something to wear to the show. I’m amazed that with the last minute craziness that I was able to do so, but I made it happen (lets just say I didn’t do much but sew and sleep in January!). I knew […]

Somehow, insanely, it is 2020. The Roaring Twenties are back (hopefully minus the prohibition)! Usually my first post of the month is my reading list for the previous month. However, like everyone, I have done a fair amount of reflecting, not necessarily on the entire last decade (although that did enter my thoughts once or twice) but on the new year in general. I once made a resolution not to make any more resolutions (really just to annoy my dad […]
