By Golly, Ollie!

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.

Happy Launch Day to @topazteaco šŸ’™ ā£
Itā€™s a happy tea mail day, and I donā€™t know what Iā€™m more excited about: delicious @dessertbydeb blends or this yellow cup and saucer I also bought from her shop šŸ˜. Sipping the Maple Chai Sticky Buns blend right now, but I canā€™t wait to dive into the rest of the tea tomorrow. Which collection should I dive into first: Little Country Kitchen OR Lady Lavender?
There was a crispness in the air when I woke up, so I thought it was a pumpkin spice kind of morning. But, then I saw the sun stretch golden across lawn and realized it was a Lavender Berry from @topazteaco kind of morning. ā£
Itā€™s another overcast, Autumn morning, so this time Iā€™ve steeped up some Pumpkin Chai from @fridaytea . We have gloom in forecast until Monday, so I suppose itā€™s going to be a Chai-every-morning kind of week. #spicedchai #fridayafternoontea #antiqueteacup #vintageteacup #teadrinkersofinstagram #teablogger #blacktea #teastagram #instatea #teacommunity
A gloomy Tuesday morning calls for a comforting mug of Sā€™mores Chai from @davidstea . I used to not like this blend, so Iā€™m uncertain why I even put it in my cart weeks ago. Iā€™m glad I revisited this one though. I still donā€™t think it tastes like Sā€™mores, but it has this earthy cocoa flavor that Iā€™ve been drawn to this year.ā£
Friday Chai-day on the back porch. (Wait, it is Friday, right?) But only for a hot second before scrambling back inside to the toddler. Have you sipped your first cup of spiced chai for the season yet? #tea #homeisacupoftea #teatime #cupoftheday #teaoftheday #instatea #teastagram #teasofinstagram #teablogger #teadrinker #teaphotography #teaaddict #tealove #tealife #teagram #teaholic #ilovetea #chai #masalachai #spicedchai #teaoutdoors #teadrinkersofinstagram #teacommunity
Today is the first day of Autumn and itā€™s that soggy sort of chilly outside that I look forward to all year long. Today, Iā€™m welcoming in the season with a cup of Caramel Apple from @fridaytea and the Death card. How appropriate that I should be visited by this card today. Its all about inviting change and entering a new season of life šŸ§”. ā£
Tomorrow is the first day of Autumn, and we will have the weather to match it in Michiganā€” high of 57 and rain all day. Looking forward to tucking into cozy blends and luscious lattes all season long. Iā€™m starting a day early with Campfire Stories from @shopcallmesweetea . Itā€™s a blend of houjicha, smoky Lapsang and chocolate and marshmallow flavors. ā£
Lunch with the High Priestess reversed, who invites us to pause, look inward, and trust our intuitionā€” especially when confronted by opposing views. ā£
