Five on Friday - September 13, 2024 ~ Never Whistle At Night Book Review, September Most Anticipated Books, Porcupine in the Wild, Sunflowers, and Bissell Little Green Machine

Happy Friday everyone - hope you had a great week! And, happy Friday the 13th!

I purchased everything in this post

Another great book to share - Never Whistle At Night by a variety of indigenous authors, 4 stars. This is an Indigenous horror and dark fiction anthology - I've always said I sometimes struggle with short stories and ambiguous endings, but when it's explained by means of cultural teachings and leaving it up to the listener, I can be a little more accepting even though I typically like my stories wrapped up nicely.

It's Stampede time! Yahoo! I went with my sister in law and a cousin to Stampede and we had a blast - I had pickle pizza, dunkaroo mini donuts, and had so much fun! It's been such a hot week, but it's always a crazy, busy day!

Me and Elliott took a little long weekend trip to Victoria this past weekend and had such a great time - we spent time at the ocean, enjoyed the wharf, took in all the sights and visited with my brother! We stayed right downtown and had such a great time!

Five on Friday - July 7, 2023 ~ GoodFood Meal Kit, Calaway Park, Peonies in My Garden, Ardene Clothing Haul, and Nimona

Happy Friday everyone - I'm on holidays right now, so I've pre-written this, I will be back to regular posting next week, but I'm also just looking at enjoying my Summer and lots of family time!

The Good Food box was provided in exchange for a review

I'm so excited my food sharing has led to a partnership with GoodFood box - I've never actually used a meal subscription service before, so I'm even more excited to share that I actually really enjoyed this too! I've been a little hesitant before, but I selected 3 vegetarian meals for 4 people (we got Kimchi & Asian Green Topped Sweet Potatoes, Roasted Beet, Feta & Pistachio Quinoa Bowls, and Burst Cherry Tomato Tortellini). All three meals were around 30 minutes to prep, cook and make and they were delicious! My hubby and I actually argued about who was getting what for leftovers! Check out my instagram for a video to see how my meals turned out

I just received my May Owlcrate subscription and this month's theme is "Against All Odds" - each month the book Owlcrate includes is signed by the author and comes with a note from the author as well. They often have special edition covers just for the box, and they seem to include a lot of exclusive items just for Owlcrate, which is so fun! As a bookworm, I have been loving this subscription! (Also, I put everything away and didn't take a picture, so check out my instagram or youtube for the video!)
