Welcome to Litsy!

Brag post on my sister. She‘s gotten back into pottery making as a hobby and we were the lucky recipients this holiday from her toils! She even contributed some to the sale at her local pottery studio.

These were the ones she gifted us and I get to look through her back stock next week for more! ❤️

Day 6- pumpkin on my work desk
Day 8- book I have read on Saints
Day 9- FDR started his radio “ fireside chats” in 1933
Day 10- my husband has been cooking a bounty of meals from his Burmese cookbook. He visited there in 1980s & could not have any evidence on him that stated or inferred he was a journalist or he would have been arrested.

Wow! What a powerful memoir!

As an Asian American female, I was super intrigued by the premise of this memoir. It did not disappoint!

The memoir is told through a series of essays, which worked so well. Each essay was well crafted and blended personal experience with research. It dove deep into how Asian women have been fetishized throughout history and the media.

Scavenger hunt: gold

I picked up my finished projects today… I love how they turned out!

It covers boba drinks and traditional Asian tea drinks like matcha, chai, Thai tea, turmeric tea and horchata (Mexican, Spanish).

The classroom can discuss the Mid Autumn Moon Festival of the Asian culture may take part in. They can learn more about the festival and make their own classroom mooncake to celebrate.

“Would Mama notice if she took another tiny nibble?“

The striking black and yellow illustrations behind this book make Little Star and her mother look like stars in the night sky, with the mooncake representing the moon. As Little Star takes nibbles from the book, the crumbs are compared to stardust. The illustrations behind this reflection of the Mid Autumn Moon Festival are an image of the beautiful night sky.

A cozy and heartwarming book about new beginnings, new hobbies and new friends.

I‘m so happy I saw a review for this book in the paper
