This month our book club dived into one of the most beloved classics of all time: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/ccbc33f4-36a0-4e90-a476-3326fe072924/Photo+May+27+2025%2C+2+15+55+PM.jpg Blog - Why ‘Little Women’ Still Inspires Us in 2025 | Sisterhood, Sacrifice & Timeless Lessons - This book has been cherished for generations, but for us, it became even more special recently when we had the chance to visit Louisa May Alcott’s home in concord, Massachusetts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1bb88007-c09b-4366-ac76-1b927e7c428b/Photo+May+27+2025%2C+2+15+07+PM.jpg Blog - Why ‘Little Women’ Still Inspires Us in 2025 | Sisterhood, Sacrifice & Timeless Lessons - Standing in the very rooms where she lived and wrote gave us such a vivid sense of how personal this story was for her – it’s not just fiction, it’s her family’s life woven into a novel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/7548d96a-0f20-42f3-922f-757a47759df8/Photo+May+27+2025%2C+2+17+02+PM.jpg Blog - Why ‘Little Women’ Still Inspires Us in 2025 | Sisterhood, Sacrifice & Timeless Lessons - What we love about Little Women is how timeless it feels, even though it was first published in 1869. The struggles, the joys, the relationships between sisters, and the choices each one makes – they still speak to us today. And of course, everyone has an opinion about Jo, Laurie, Meg, Beth, Amy ….and whether Alcott got their endings, “right”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/2c7cfc21-6292-4cce-ae38-df6cef8ebabf/Photo+Aug+28+2025%2C+5+12+15+PM.jpg Blog - Why ‘Little Women’ Still Inspires Us in 2025 | Sisterhood, Sacrifice & Timeless Lessons - Hearing everyone’s perspectives – whether you’re Team Laurie or Team Professor Bhaer, a Jo at heart or an Amy in spirit – reminds us of why book clubs matter – we don’t just read the same words, we discover new meanings together – spirited, funny, and deeply thoughtful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/c3b63f31-0698-4860-9f68-fcb5f4d80c1e/Photo+Aug+28+2025%2C+5+10+40+PM.jpg Blog - Why ‘Little Women’ Still Inspires Us in 2025 | Sisterhood, Sacrifice & Timeless Lessons - We hope this discussion inspires you to revisit the March sisters with fresh eyes.

But then gradually the water changed, turning the color of milky dark tea or coffee with a small amount of milk added to it. Here was the mighty Amazon being fed by one thousand one hundred tributaries. At my first port of call in the Amazon Basin, Santarem, I saw “The Meeting of the Waters” where the blue green water of one of those tributaries, Rio Tapajos, flows side by side with the chocolate Amazon until they merge into one roar to become the world’s greatest river and one of the most important to the planet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/3229543d-5b7b-4fb0-9d49-e8e8ca3a7510/IMG_2080.JPG Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER - Who knows what secrets this great, green, remote, inaccessible jungle holds for mankind. Scientists are constantly gathering every kind of flora and fauna hoping to find cures for all our maladies. Certainly, every market I found along the river sold medicinal cures – potions, herbs, roots which has been passed down through the indigenous peoples for generations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1710365721701-0GO9FC5AD33NFR3ERMCF/IMG_2665.png Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1710365723917-EQVRG9VE4BKNKKN14QZ0/IMG_2667.png Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1710365730783-B637B6H538LPEFBJBGWW/IMG_2689.JPG Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1710365738287-E13HNQHIFZI7O5EQSH69/IMG_2676.png Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1710365738499-V9GQOX8L37CHAWVXYSZK/IMG_2735.JPG Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/7a8be3f3-e6a8-4ae2-ae03-80f9dbc4507a/IMG_2930.jpg Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER - One of the great pleasures of writing about travel is not always landscape, or history, or architecture – it is people. I found this particularly true on The Amazon. Boca Da Valeria is a village of 75 to 100 but when a boat anchors off shore and tenders arrive so do dozens of children from two other small settlements up a narrow tributary. They bring their pets - a turtle, sloth, bird, monkey to show me and the women present their crafts of beading or crochet. The men offer their dug-out canoes for a journey up a narrow tributary. I chose my canoe and on this journey, I discovered the romance and serene beauty of this watery paradise – drifting past water lilies – being taken to a tree which houses a dozen nests and watching those native birds coming to attend their young – a heron striking a pose and butterflies fluttering around me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/04495180-be0f-4638-8692-ce3d4092d25c/IMG_2928.jpg Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER - The friendliness, the smiles I receive seem genuine. I must stress this in not an indigenous village – those peoples have gone deeper into the Rainforest to maintain their way of life. This is a typical village along the river and the people are Caboclo, indigenous and Portuguese. Some might wonder about the impact of such visits on these remote villages. However, I believe visiting, buying directly from the villagers, the kids gathering to learn the dances, make the traditional handicrafts, preserve their traditions. Never was tradition more alive and well than on my last port on The Amazon, Parintins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1710367137945-6FKHZAK2OKE4DED10PKV/IMG_2799.JPG Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1710367138673-NLTNPFGGHSVL77D6QXQQ/IMG_2808.JPG Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1710367142112-Q7DC5U5MYQ156CK27WUK/IMG_2818.JPG Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1710367146551-5N303EXIGPKS2INHTJS5/IMG_2821.JPG Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1710367146260-IJJC9VT9X746UVEGMRRH/IMG_2825.JPG Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1710367150136-Q8OMY21Q6RIFHILPKIX2/IMG_2837.JPG Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1710367151125-56UIX6JE87QOL6M1G0Y7/IMG_2848.JPG Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1710367152703-SS01S7CYRG4KPFMB1TMA/IMG_2859.JPG Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/9f7c960a-7528-4878-98cb-f2be5b049e07/IMG_3094sm.jpg Blog - A THOUSAND MILES UPSTREAM ON THE AMAZON RIVER - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bigbiggerbiggest.life/blog/2024/2/4/happy-2024 monthly 0.5 2024-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/9a2cb213-02cc-4c02-a579-9a0748d6a758/Photo+Jan+31+2024%2C+7+45+26+AM.jpg Blog - Happy 2024! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bigbiggerbiggest.life/blog/2023/12/20/2023-best-chocolate-find monthly 0.5 2023-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/1703084582806-2GMCVKJNZPG3AD22GAMS/Photo+Dec+12+2023%2C+9+45+27+AM.jpg Blog - 2023 BEST CHOCOLATE FIND https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/b0541251-4b82-47cc-8fea-9a0efc8eb821/Photo+Dec+06+2023%2C+5+53+03+PM.jpg Blog - 2023 BEST CHOCOLATE FIND - Having just seen the new film, WONKA (don’t believe the critics – it’s charming – we laughed, we cried) – we have a new appreciation for the power of truly delicious chocolate – the kind that is like an explosion of happiness in your mouth!

It is produced by a specific, traditional method from specific grapes grown in designated areas of that region. It is the most famous type of sparkling wine and is often cited as one of the most esteemed wines in the world. The Champagne method involves second fermentation in the bottle to form bubbles. This method allows champagne to be aged for longer periods than other sparkling wines, leading to an increased complexity of flavors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/8c0bc2fd-f523-4adf-b6ac-438e5ae9d300/Photo+Nov+29+2023%2C+4+31+48+PM.jpg Blog - CHAMPAGNE STATE OF MIND We were recently treated to a fabulous Champagne experience at The House of Glunz, Chicago wine and spirits merchants since 1888 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/8dd98e86-83a3-47e8-830e-16a56d515f03/Photo+Dec+04+2023%2C+9+39+56+AM.jpg Blog - CHAMPAGNE STATE OF MIND - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/9fd63b4e-23ac-4b1a-a49a-6d85ba2dd26e/Photo+Nov+29+2023%2C+4+47+25+PM.jpg Blog - CHAMPAGNE STATE OF MIND Barbara is a font of knowledge about champagne – particularly small growers.

I’ve polished the silver and chosen which china will grace the table. I’ve purchased new tall candles and decided which flowers I will use to best represent this day of declining autumn and the blessings of being together with friends and family. For me, flowers are the key - so very different than the pumpkin, gourds, corn stalks of Halloween and the greens of Christmas. With flowers, you can create the bountiful harvest of Thanksgiving. Last year I was prowling through antique stores (a fav past time) and stumbled across ceramic pilgrims - a man and a woman. They were vases fired and carefully painted by someone in a long ago ceramic class. I fell in love with them!! These pilgrim vases have now become part of my Thanksgiving tradition! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/8f4bc7cb-54cd-422a-a7e9-8c927cf3a52f/biscottithanks.jpg Blog - How to Transform the Traditional Thanksgiving Table - Debi’s Thanksgiving Memory The Thanksgiving dinner table is where some of life’s most important memories are made. I just love the bounty and abundance of the textures, colors and spices of harvest season. One of my favorites is a well-crafted cornucopia filled with the succulent colors of burnt orange, crimson, deep green, and gold. As a young girl, I remember watching my Grandmother, Josephine, fix a side of traditional Italian Pasta. Eating well in Italy requires a little more than just the main course, it also includes the luxurious style of a unique pasta dish and of course, a delicious wine. Today, I’ll be sharing with you, one of my favorite harvest season pasta dishes, that has now become a tradition at my Thanksgiving table. The colors and texture are sure to harmoniously blend and add an Italian Style mix with any Thanksgiving menu. Plus, I’m always baking seasonal Divine Biscotti…. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/f7bcd1dd-7246-4235-92b4-fcb911ae5988/smallerbutternutsquash.jpg Blog - How to Transform the Traditional Thanksgiving Table - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/8d83f71c-7bf2-419a-bb13-9d61ceb5d8ac/textdivider.png Blog - How to Transform the Traditional Thanksgiving Table - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/ee15bb40-7bd5-4978-bbf9-59078684540e/harrytoast.jpg Blog - How to Transform the Traditional Thanksgiving Table - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/28dba1d0-2a9d-447f-9fd7-f9a51ca8e6b5/booksonly.jpg Blog - How to Transform the Traditional Thanksgiving Table - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bigbiggerbiggest.life/blog/2021/11/9/dare-to-be-curious monthly 0.5 2021-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/0bf957e2-0b22-47cc-8868-04c3dd53d45f/IMG_6506.JPG Blog - Dare To Be Curious - Ask Yourself This… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0ec87c8ab72246ddb8cb42/ed6cb2c1-e189-401f-b793-c812f1267e79/IMG_6360.png Blog - Dare To Be Curious Well, you’ve come to the right place, and we are so happy you are here!
