Something new...
Have you met Jules, Olly, Lola, or Ryan yet?
Last week, I published chapter 22 of the No Rules Required serial. The best part, this serial has no end in sight, it's just something fun for you.
Did you know it’s a free serial? Yup, no paywall. I never planned to have a paywall when I started the serial. It is something fun for you.
At the end of each chapter, I share an author's note with a question for YOU! Your answer will help me write the next chapter.
And that’s the point of the serial, it’s a story for you and written by you.
Happy Reading! (A new chapter will be added next week.)
I have a secret...
In Januray, hubby and I were looking at a few things on YouTube that sparked a thought. What if I learned Italian?
Pazzo, vero?
Today is day 130 of learning the language consecutively for over four months. I can confirm, it is the perfect distraction from scrolling on social media or reading depressing things.
It's not easy but I am starting to really remember and retain the words which is exciting.
Last week, I started listening to Italian romance music.
I finally shared my secret because now I can share my favorite Italian word I learned for the week.
This week, my favorite word is...
Moltissimio = Very Much.
Ti amo moltissimio = I love you very much.
Maybe I need to have some Italian in one of future books. (and yes, that includes pasta recipes.)
Top 5 Favorites This Week:
What I binged...
I watch TV and movies based on my mood. Sometimes I need intense action, other times Hallmark movies are more than enough. This week, I was in the mood for a foreign show and found The Cook of Castamar on Netflix. It's a Spanish series that is dubbed in English. You get romance (some of it steamy), action, mystery, and food. Basically, edge-of-your-seat fun!
It's growing...
I have finally accepted the reality that I may not have a green thumb, LOL. BUT, there is one thing I can grow: herbs. So why did I buy the Meyer lemon plant?🤣 BUT, I'm happy to report, it's actually thriving. EEP! Stay tuned.
New Recipe...
No, that's not poop, LOL!🤣
I tried another whole grain and sugar-free recipe. They are hubby approved and most definitely need to be on the blog. If you love chocolate, you'll enjoy this fun, versatile recipe.
Fresh milled bagels:
Hubby and I were craving bagels, and so on Sunday I made my first batch of whole grain bagels. They were a win!
Strike A Pose!
I love sharing photos of my furry babies. Serious cuteness overload is the best! This is a throwback to when we first rescued the bunnies. Earl Grey was so tiny there. In June it will be three years since they became a part of the family. I love them so dang much!!
Until next time,
Sending love and donuts🍩, Terra
