I’m back with another book list! I hope these inspire you to pick up some backlist titles that you might have missed. My son was born at the very end of 2022, so it was fun to look back at these 2023 reads and remember his first year. I read a lot of these via
I am late to recapping our weekend fun in part because there was so much of it and also because October has brought the return of admissions essay season. (I’m an editor in real life.) I love getting to read the creative essays high schoolers write and help their ideas shine. And I’m enjoying the
Another month has gone by. Did it bring cooler temperatures? No. Did I have more fun in September than I did in August? Also no. But did I learn from this? Time will tell. While I try to focus on the highlights for my weekend fun recaps, several weekends this September were kind of a
How was your weekend? Mine was full of reminders that I’m getting old, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Hopefully I’m still learning and growing as I age.

How was your weekend? Can you believe Labor Day was already a week ago? September is flying by—hopefully toward cooler temperatures. (I am whatever the summer equivalent of a Grinch is about the heat.) We had a full weekend that somehow still involved way too much screen time for the kids. I’m not looking forward
I read a lot, and perhaps because of this, I don’t always retain what I read. This has upsides and downsides, especially when it becomes to beloved series. When a new title releases, I sometimes struggle to place characters and remember key plot points. (I hereby request that each new book in a series include
How was your weekend? It’s a holiday weekend here (and my girls have a bonus day off on Tuesday), but my Labor Day plans mostly consist of grocery shopping, so I’m just focusing on Friday through Sunday like usual. One area of fun that I’d like to learn to do better is taking advantage of
