I have a pair of Yuketen canoe mocs and I’ve decided they’re the perfect house shoe. I wear them for trips to the basement or garage, to brave the cold concrete, or to go for a local drive to CVS or dunks, and I slip them on for step outs to take my dog out for a pee or walk. They’re also just pretty sweet shoes.
I listened to this book because I saw it recommended on youtube, a small book that packs a punch. A girl is fostered by an extremely caring and wholesome family, the Kinsellas, while back home her struggling mother is giving birth to yet another child, piling on top of her existing struggles. It doesn’t take much time for the girl to adjust to the idyllic Irish farmgirl lifestyle, helping to fetch the water, racing to beat her own time fetching the mail, and accompanying the Kinsellas to church and get togethers. Hidden somewhere behind all the idealism is a secret, carefully revealed – making the characters both extra lovable and heartbreaking.The book isn’t much of a commitment at sub 100 pages, and it sticks around in your mind forever.
The other day I tried freezing pop tarts for the first time. I saw it on the box and, having not known this was even a suggested means of preparing them, felt like I had to see what the hype was about. Pop tarts in general are a pretty sweet rec. Now I know you can have them straight out the wrapper, toasted for a minute, or frozen from the freezer – and they’re all good in their own right.
Kind of wild that in the same world where Morgan Wallen breaks Ticketmaster with his tour after releasing songs like Broadway Girls and Last Night, Zach Bryan does the same, to the same audience, with songs like Something in the Orange and Heading South. This self-titled album is a great listen front to back, with songs like East Side of Sorrow, talking about shipping off in the Navy and his Mothers Death, and I Remember Everything which is the mega-hit of the album – a truly very catchy little song, performed with legend Kacey Musgraves. I just love that an album like this is taking over the country charts - and even the general charts - while not ever really deviating from the “safe” zach bryan sound of just singer-songwriter over raw instrumentals.
