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
It’s officially fall! (Someone tell my weather app.) I really enjoyed having a summer fun list. It helped me keep having fun top of mind in a season that is not my favorite. While I enjoy fall much more than summer, cooler weather alone isn’t enough to constitute fun. So I’m creating a fall fun
How was your weekend? Mine had lots of fun events but also some hard moments. As an Enneagram One, it’s easy for me to let hard moments overshadow the good ones. But a wise mom shared with me this weekend that she often tells her daughter “don’t let a bad moment ruin a good day.”
As an Enneagram One, I love a gift guide. I like to get things right, and lists of the “right” gift to get a certain type of person can be helpful. (Even if they are often extraordinarily out of my budget. Who are the people buying $350 throw blankets for their third cousins?) But I
How was your weekend? My husband and I were a little under the weather, so we had to cancel some plans and take it easy. That gave us some time to catch up on some nagging tasks and do some vacation planning. We’re excited about what’s to come, but this weekend was pretty low-key! Family
I will not buy a new planner in September. I will not buy a new planner in September. I will not buy a new planner in September. But maybe you will? I’m not sure what it is about getting a new planner that feels so fun to me. Maybe it’s because, as an Enneagram One,
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
