Blog Intentions
Like many other Bear Bloggers, this site will serve as a creative output, to be filled with new and old thoughts. I want to avoid being hyper-niche. I have many interests that deserve a place to be heard. Some that come to mind that I may or may not delve into are:
- urban planning
- anxious & non-anxious musings
- living slow in a FAST city
- interior decorating & trinkets
- tea
- darning & sashiko
- weather forecasting
My blog posts are all under the sprouts tab.
My Now page is under the currents tab.
Small thoughts/pics with no context are under the weeds tab.
Lists, collections, and notes are under the logs tab.
guestbook & contact info are in the footer.

Me, Me, Me!!
I (Arica, she/her) live with my husband, M, and our 2 cats (maybe 3 one day...) in a slightly darker-than-would-otherwise-be-preferred apartment in Queens, NY. I am highly organizationally minded. I see this skill as a special interest of mine. Somehow, my SI didn't translate to writing or cooking. I'll do my best to spare you walls of text, but know in my heart that is what I would prefer, for better or worse. As for cooking, thankfully, M keeps me on track while we are in the kitchen together, giving me more time for activities, like blogging.
