Motherhood and the #momfuel that helps me survive
I’ve been going back and forth in my mind about whether or not I wanted to create a youtube channel. Then, I saw the post, Fuelled By Fiction Comes to Booktube, and I just decided to go for it. Check out my introduction video above. really brief. It’s only about three and a half minutes long. I talk about some of current reads, why I’m still a tea newbie after 8 years of drinking tea, and Castiel Tea from Adagio.
This was kind of a difficult process! Talking at a computer was a strange experience, and I kept losing my train of thought. I ended up having to type up a script in notepad otherwise this would have been a video full of “uuuuum” and exasperated sighs. Youtubers make this look easy!
I’d love it if you would visit and subscribe to the Books & Tea Youtube Channel. There is only one video up right now, but the goal is to get a video up every other week on various bookish and tea related topics.
Actually, that’s just the smell of Christmas Cookies! And if you noticed my tweets last week, you know I almost wanted to rage quit baking:
It dawned on me that I never shared with you the finished product. At some point, I gave up on spooning on the coconut and caramel topping, which is why there are a handful of nude cookies. Behold!
My mom took these in to work, and they were a hit. Several people asked for the recipe for these hellbeast. Better them than I, I say!
Tell me bookworms, do you have a booktube youtube channel? I’d love to check it out, so leave a link for me in the comments. Also, have you done any holiday baking yet?
Im glad my post inspired another booktube newbie to take the plunge! It was a similar process for me, too. I had been thinking about starting a channel for so long but was too… Nervous or something. Your video made me really want some tea. I was an avid tea drinker in uni then switched to coffee for some reason. I think because the making process involves less thought maybe? I don’t know. But I think I’ll make myself a cup right now! I’m also not much of a baker… So any Christmas cookies I eat will be store bought or my mum’s 🙂

I love tea, but it’s a drink I mostly enjoy on the weekend. I usually just grab a dollar coffee on the run before work. I went crazy with tea during college though. Most of my classes started after 10:00, so I usually lounged around and enjoyed a cup or two before class.

Aw I love it Jackie! Definitely link your videos through here though! I used to keep up with “book tube” but I don’t have the time anymore. I’d love to check yours out though!
AND THOSE COOKIES OF YOURS. YUM. I’m jealous of your ability. I’m horrendous at baking/cooking in general.
