Hello peaches! How are things? I have been kinda busy with work and writing my book. My deadline is a month away now, so it has been hard to find the time to do all the things I want, but…
Content note: This post discusses depression and anxiety (as well as food!) I have been cooking a lot of things and resting a lot of late. Doesn’t that sound sloth-ish? It’s not really though because years of tough times, anxiety…
What would we do without plates? We’d be relegated to a life of eating from boards, boxes and jam jars and nobody wants that for us. Nope.…

Sometimes It’s Good To Feed Your Feelings With A Little Rhubarb Hug
