And so I am so excited that The R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril Challenge is...

Hey all! I feel like I am almost late to be writing this post, but I do hope I’ll still be lucky enough to find some volunteers! It only occured to me this Monday, as I was planning posts for the summer, that I could maybe find some guest bloggers to help me with the Curio in August! You see, the man and I are leaving on August 2 for a three weeks stay in France! I am so excited to be going back, and can’t believe it’s been...

I had been putting it off for so long, and reading it with a group of readers was exactly what I needed for motivation. I ended up flying through it, chatting about it on blogs and twitter, writing a very positive review of it and I was looking forward to joining another similar experience. There was the...

Happy Thursday all! So, I am super happy today because I’m finally making some changes around here, changes I have been working on for a little while! I talked about it a few times, mentioned it on twitter, and now it’s finally done; the final look for the blog is done, and while there might be some tweaks left to do, that’s pretty much it! Yay! It’s what I wanted it to be; simple and clean with just a tad of...
