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
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. My husband took over pizza duty Saturday night because I wasn’t feeling great. He knocked it out of the park by turning the oven’s convection function

(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
My toddler loves to look at photo books. I make an annual album showcasing the fun of the last year. We’ve gotten photo albums from school (such a treasured labor of love from the teachers!). And I’m planning to make a vacation-specific album to help keep our trip memories alive. But my favorite album to
