Halloween is, overall, my number one fave holiday of the year. In fact, it combines all my favourite things! Candy eaten in copious amounts, check. Creativity being encouraged, check. Whimsical creatures wandering the streets, check. Although, let me be clear: I’m not usually a fan of being scared, but something about Halloween makes it feel

If we’re comparing tragedies this year, one of the smallest possible ones would be how much I’ve missed traveling in 2020. Yet, traveling and exploring new cities has always been one of the anchoring points in my life. Thankfully, I’ve found a small piece of that with Airbnb online experiences, “traveling” to Japan for a

We’ve all read short story collections. Whether writing college papers or browsing in a local bookshop, short stories are very accessible. My first anthology was a Women’s Studies assortment during my undergrad years. While I don’t remember the title, I do recall Virginia Woolf’s story “Lapin and Lapinova.” It was such a surprising story of

With the change in seasons comes the opportunity to explore new sights, sounds, and experiences with your toddler. As families head outside for pumpkin patch visits and fall walks, toddlers get to explore new to them sensations such as the crunch of leaves underfoot, the chill of a crisp fall day, and the textures of

Having emotionally distant parents can be heartwrenching. Living with people who were supposed to be the primary caregivers, but for some twist of fate are incapable of fulfilling their roles, can prove to be a very emotionally harrowing experience for the children, as we see in the case of Transcendent Kingdom‘s Gifty. While nothing can

October, for me, is all about beautiful light and crunching leaves under my feet, adding cardigans back into my wardrobe, and the still relatively new school year full of hope and resolutions. I believe in enjoying each season in its turn and not constantly rushing onto the next thing. If anyone tries to play Christmas

Over the summer, I decided to put some of my free time to use and purchased Maggie Stiefvater’s writing seminar. She’d been on the road with it for a while before the pandemic and made it virtual with a few dozen videos available on Etsy. I’d been keeping an eye on the item for a

Eleven months out of the year, I read only the occasional horror novel, but as soon as October comes around I’m ready for all the creepy books. Don’t get me wrong, these books are good reading any time of year, but there’s just something about chills and thrills that feel perfectly suited for fall. Witches

Some people might have a hard time with short stories because it can be hard to read different writers writing at different paces about a certain subject; however, for these books of short stories by Black authors, that can be a positive thing. For younger readers, short stories can be easier to consume as they

My son and I love reading books together, and I think the books we enjoy the most are the ones I sing to him. These come in handy especially around sleepy-times, before his afternoon nap or bedtime. Nothing soothes us more than snuggling up together with a good book and singing. Besides the comfort it

My quest to learn more about bias against women in medicine started in a very personal place. I’ve been misdiagnosed and dismissed many, many times for being a fat, anxious young woman. I’ve had strep throat for three months and have watched doctors dismiss my concerns about chronic insomnia and a history of Lyme disease

For the past several months, I’ve found myself substituting the word “crisis” in place of “pandemic,” solely because in my opinion I believe the latter has, in many ways, lost all sense of urgency and concern. I despise the term “the new normal” (that was a short-lived sitcom on NBC starring Andrew Rannells, not a
