Book Club My book club gathered on Friday night to discuss The Rosie Project. You can read my thoughts on it here, and the rest of the group enjoyed it as well. (Though one character was universally hated.) During our last meeting, our host really upped the game with themed snacks and activities. This really
Reading is one of my favorite ways to have fun. I read a lot, and I love knowing what other people are reading too! So I’ve compiled a list of what I’ve read so far this year in case it’s of interest to anyone else. I’ve broken it out by fiction, book club reads, nonfiction,
How was your weekend? We kept things low-key since my girls went back to school this week. We love their school and their teachers, but it’s still a big transition for everyone! (Carpool lines are not fun.) I’ve got something fun planned for next weekend though, so stay tuned! We did manage to squeeze in

How was your weekend? I feel like we hit the ground running after getting back from Disney. I appreciated a slower weekend to try to regroup and recharge—though the reason it turned out to be slow was a bummer. We still tried to fill it with pockets of fun where possible though! Frozen: The Musical
How was your weekend? Did you make time for fun? This weekend had ups and downs—the biggest down being that we had to come home from Disney World (though we did spend Saturday morning at EPCOT). It was, as previously mentioned, really, really hot, but it’s hot here at home, too! And we don’t have
Last week, I shared about the funnest (deal with it) books I’ve read so far in 2025. It was a good reminder to me that reading is one of my favorite and most accessible forms of fun! And the older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve allowed myself to prioritize fun in my reading. No one
