Hello! My name is Jackie. I’m a thirty-something mother of a rambunctious toddler, who finds sanctuary from life’s most hectic moments in cups of tea.

By Golly, Ollie! is a lifestyle blog that features a mix of everything I love: tea, books, and geekery.

New blog post! I’ve curated a collection of teas that pair perfectly with the Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix. Link in the bio if you’re into that 🙃 #tea #horrorbookstagram #teatime #horrorstories #teaoftheday #instatea #teastagram #teasofinstagram #teablogger #teadrinker #teaphotography #teaaddict #tealove #tealife #teagram #teaholic #ilovetea #antiqueteacup #vintageteacup #booksandtea #teaandbooks #bookstagram #instabooks #horrorfiction #horrornovel #booklover #bookcommunity #horror #bookish #horrorbooks
I’m was inspired by @onemoresteep to take a much needed stroopwafel break. I’m usually too impatient to let my stroopwafel warm up, but I’ve been so distracted lately that I finally enjoyed an ooey-gooey caramel center 😍. This paired perfectly with the Raven’s blend from @fridaytea which is a blend of black tea, white tea, and blue cornflowers (like...the actual flower, not *just* the pretty blue petals). It’s sweet honey and floral and something that kind of reminds me of hay. #tea #homeisacupoftea #teatime #cupoftheday #teaoftheday #instatea #teastagram #teasofinstagram #teablogger #teadrinker #teaphotography #teaaddict #tealove #tealife #teagram #teaholic #ilovetea #fridaytea #stroopwafel #dailyritual #selfcare #selfcaresunday #stroopwafelsunday
New video! (About damn time, too.) I’m sharing a recent @plumdeluxe haul and counting down to my favorite blend. Link in the bio, if you’re into that 🙃. #tea #homeisacupoftea #teatime #cupoftheday #teaoftheday #instatea #teastagram #teasofinstagram #teablogger #teadrinker #teaphotography #teaaddict #tealove #tealife #teagram #teaholic #ilovetea #teatube #teatuber #plumdeluxe #teareview
Oliver woke up an hour early, so I made the best of a groggy morning by sipping Da Hong Pao from @white2tea as the sun came up.⁣
“Curating” a collection of teas to accompany the Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix while I work today. More to come on this soonish. How is your Friday? #tea #homeisacupoftea #teatime #cupoftheday #teaoftheday #instatea #teastagram #teasofinstagram #teablogger #teadrinker #teaphotography #teaaddict #tealove #tealife #teagram #teaholic #ilovetea #teacup #antiqueteacup #vintageteacup #teaparty #booksandtea #gradyhendrix #southernbookclubsguidetoslayingvampires #bookstagram #instabooks #horrorbooks #horrornovel #booklover #booksbooksbooks
Cheating on tea with coffee this morning. Specifically this Butter Bear Latte from @biggbycoffee which is a caramel and butterscotch DREAM. I also discovered they sell macarons now 😍. #mymorningcoffee #mymorningcup #coffee #cupoftheday #teablogger #coffeetime #coffeegram #biggbycoffee #biggby #macarons #macaronsofinstagram #coffeeoutside #latte #lattelove
I received the dreaded e-mail from school informing me I needed to pick up Oliver as soon as possible because the JR preschool program was shutting down temporarily. Some of the teachers had been exposed to COVID (presumably outside the classroom). ⁣
Sipped Gamma Ray from @westchinatea this afternoon. I’m certain I will regret this PM black tea session as I lie in bed wide awake in the wee hours. But, I was looking for something to energize me, so I could power through chores. All I’ve succeeded in doing for the last hour though is take Instagram glamor shots of this tea and eat white chicken chili. I haven’t even finished the dishes 🤦🏻‍♀️ ⁣
Anyone else look at this and think of the scene where Alex Owens dances in water in Flashdance? ...No? Just me? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Ma Liu Mi from @mastersteas #tea #homeisacupoftea #teatime #cupoftheday #teaoftheday #instatea #teastagram #teasofinstagram #teablogger #teadrinker #teaphotography #teaaddict #tealove #tealife #teagram #teaholic #ilovetea #adagioteas #myadagio #mastersteas #teaoutside #totoro #teapet #gaiwan #gongfucha #gongfutea
