A little over a month ago I wrote where I talked about letting yourself give up on things you don’t enjoy or love, from activities to books. The post was called “Permission To Give Up“, and here’s the post where I contradict everything I said there. Sorta. It’s complicated. My new thoughts are mainly inspired […]
A friend at work who doesn’t drink tea at home brought in a David’s Tea gift set with 12 different teas, it’s their “Around The World” collection, and said I was welcome to use it. It was a great opportunity to test out a few different teas I wouldn’t necessarily have thought to try and […]
I think I’m officially hooked on this nail-swatching, blogging, thing. When I wear a colour and can’t take proper photos in time, though I usually still have one for my instagram, I honestly feel disappointed! Which is a tad annoying because Writing Whimsy is supposed to be a whimsical, stress-free, type of place. I don’t […]
Hey, friends! I’m going to be updating this post so if you’re interested in where I am now with the readathon, you can scroll down to see my progress. Thanks for stopping by! In my life as a book blogger, there are a few things in particular I love. One of those is the readathons, […]
I love David’s Tea, so after my disappointment with Organic Superberry (which I reviewed here) I decided the best solution was to head back to the store to test out some more of their berry teas, of which there are quite a few.

Books! Nothing makes the end of a week better than a great batch of books waiting for you and I was so happy when these ones arrived on Thursday and Friday. It’s definitely a mix, as I got two poetry collections from Gaspereau Press and two YA sequels (unfortunately to series I haven’t read the […]
I don’t expect to be reviewing many books here at Writing Whimsy, but as a writer querying my verse novel, I thought it would be nice to occasionally share other books I’d recommend. Starting off with Love and Leftovers was an easy choice. It should be obvious but I adore novels in verse, and combine […]
As I try to stay away from juice and stick to water, I find myself drinking a lot more tea these days. It doesn’t hurt that my work has a convenient kettle in my office so a fresh mug is never more than a few minutes away. As I delve into loose leaf teas, I […]
Two weeks ago I went to visit my family for Passover and the timing was such that one of my dogs had just had puppies. My mom is a breeder of Standard Poodles, both brown and black. At just over a week old, they are pretty darn adorable. I’ve included some proof of the littlest […]
