Welp, I'm pretty much in shock that summer is basically over. My kids have a little over two weeks left before school starts, but they start all of their sport activities this week! This may be the first summer ever that my reading took such a dive, but getting to soak up so many good … Continue reading July Wrap-Up // 2022

February Wrap-Up // 2022
With everything going on in the world right now, it feels so silly to give superficial updates about what this month was like. Literally none of it matters when I think about fellow human beings having to flee their homes from a ruthless dictator. My heart goes out to the Ukranian people and I fervently … Continue reading February Wrap-Up // 2022
October Wrap-Up // 2021
I would have thought my reading life last year would have suffered, but I would be wrong with that thinking. I am totally on the struggle bus lately; I'm finding it hard to read a book that really captures my attention. It seems like books start off strong, but around the halfway point, they really … Continue reading October Wrap-Up // 2021

It's already past Labor Day and I am craving fall weather. Unfotunately, we're on track to be the hottest September in history so October can't get here soon enough! It's already Homecoming week for my kids so the week has been filled with all the fun activities - building floats, preparing for a town-wide all-day … Continue reading My Week in Books // 9-8-21

The first week back to school is in the books, and I feel so lonely without my kiddos in the house with me all day. We switched school districts this year so we're definitely adjusting more than we're used to, but the change has been good and I'm so happy to see my kids thriving, … Continue reading My Week in Books // 8-25-21

The 2020 Olympics are finally here and I cannot get enough of them! I love all of it, but I especially enjoy the gymnastics, swimming, and track and field events. I actually watched some fencing the other day for the first time and found it pretty interesting! Thankfully, I had a lot of great books … Continue reading July Wrap-Up // 2021

*** One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston Omg...Casey McQuiston does it again! One Last Stop was a truly delightful audiobook experience. The story is full of love, friendship, and dedication. August and Jane are such great characters, but I loved the cast of secondary characters just as much. All of them create a beautiful sense … Continue reading My Week in Books // 7-14-21

This week was a little quieter in my reading life as I was super busy helping a friend with her son's graduation. Also, it was the last week of school here and we all know how jam-packed that week is! I have a couple weeks left and then my daughter's dance recital will be over...then … Continue reading My Week in Books // 6-2-21

April was a great month - great reading, a great vacation (finally!), and some great weather! My kids have finally finished up all their sporting commitments for the school year, so now we'll just be running around with year-end activities - sports banquets, finals for school, and get togethers with their friends. I used to … Continue reading April Wrap-Up // 2021
