      How much do we love a limited edition? What’s inside the second Book Lovers Box from Sweet Reads Box

      Sweet Reads Box sent me their Book Lovers Box in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Well I finally got around to booking my laser eye surgery for January 1. Can’t wait to have 2020 vision. 😂 Okay I don’t need laser eye surgery but I see it’s been a minute since…

      It’s a limited edition! The Book Lovers Box from Sweet Reads Box

      I received the Book Lovers Box for free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Shoana Jensen was on Cityline this week talking about subscription boxes and I was so surprised she didn’t mention Sweet Reads Box because IMHO, it’s one of the best on the market. (If it’s new to you, it’s…

      A Canadian subscription box for book lovers: September’s Sweet Reads Box + A giveaway!

      I remember driving to a party years ago for my hubby’s colleagues and stressing about who I could talk to and what on earth could we have in common. While most of the guests congregated in the kitchen, I spent the first hour or so (or maybe it was a half hour, but it felt…

      Hushbug Book Box December 2022 🇨🇦

      We’re a week and a half into the new year and I’m still in a holi-daze, partly because the kids have only just gone back to school and partly because we still have our tree. Okay also partly because I’m still eating all kinds of holiday treats. 🤷‍♀️ I’d be quite happy to while away…

      Missed these? New books for cooks, creatives and more to gift + A giveaway!

      A Book That Takes Its Time: An Unhurried Adventure in Creative Mindfulness + Win a copy

So I couldn’t wait to see what the co-founders of Flow dreamed up for A Book That Takes Its Time: An Unhurried Adventure in Creative Mindfulness, released earlier this month.
