With Thanksgiving just 15 days away, it's time to start prepping for all the holiday festivities and traditions. One tradition my family loves is our annual cookie making. When it came time to prep our cookie cutters, some of our cookie cutters were missing, so it was serendipitous that I was asked if I’d like to review some Ann Clark cookie cutters.
As I celebrate my fifth year as a film critic with Nashville’s Music City Film Critics Association and gear up for awards season, I'll share more film content here. Actually, all content will increase since I’ll be covering my annual gift guides as well. Today, however, my focus is on the new Black Bear Pictures film, Wicker, which has just hit theaters.

No matter what you call offline hobbies, they are back and bigger than ever. I’m happy to see young and old alike take up analog hobbies like reading a print book instead of reading on their Kindle, growing a garden, taking care of houseplants, lighting a candle during downtime, or cooking at home. My Friday Faves is a fun look at what analog hobbies have been vying for free time lately.
We’ve made it through September! A month I usually love and view as the kickoff to all things Autumn, but Mother Nature had other plans. The Metro Nashville area broke records, but not in a good way. After August’s searing heatwave, we then had the second-hottest September on record and the first-ever September with no rain. Thankfully, it’s cooled down a bit, and I can actually turn on the oven without guilt. Just in time for this special day.
Hello and happy September, dear readers. I’m coming back from my lackadaisical summer blogging routine, refreshed and ready for all the busyness of fourth-quarter blogging and film award season. I can’t think of a better kickoff than celebrating two major milestones.
August has been a long, hot, and humid month here in Middle Tennessee. Everything in the garden, including this gardener, is looking a little tired and weary this late in the summer. Still, I’ve found peaceful and pretty moments in my August garden to share with you today.
I’m excited to share this sweet tidbit of news in today’s Friday Faves post. When I first received the email invitation to try Levain Bakery’s handcrafted cookies, I literally did a happy dance and immediately replied to that day-brightening email.
