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
Hooray for long weekends! I really appreciated having my husband off work and snuck in a little extra reading time while he hung with the kids. Keep reading to the end to find out what I couldn’t put down! But first, we (hopefully) have a new Fourth of July tradition, the kids review The Empire
This weekend was packed with fun! I also had a lil meltdown over how packed it was—and how much of my to-do list fell to the wayside. But I remembered that I’m learning to have fun, tried to prioritize it, and overall enjoyed myself! My week and my time budget have started fresh, and nothing
One of my favorite ways to add a little fun to my everyday life is to read. I’ve always been a voracious reader and even majored in English in a quest to become a professional reader. For a few years in early adulthood, I tried to read 100 books every year. Then I had kids.

I hope you had a fun weekend! I wasn’t feeling 100% this weekend and was worried it would affect my fun. But because I’m learning to make fun a priority, I did my best to save my energy for the fun stuff and let the rest go! We were able to do more than I
Authors Brunch Summer Fridays are part of the weekend, right? We kicked off the weekend fun with brunch at my mom’s house. When my daughter got sick the last week of school, she missed her final “authors tea” of the year. In this sweet event, the students share “books” they have written and illustrated in
Raise your hand if you collected Beanie Babies in the 90s. It’s hard to overstate the grip these sweet little animals had on us. They were currency in the moment, and we were all banking our retirements on them too. Why bother passing fourth grade? Beanie Babies would make us rich beyond our wildest dreams—as
School’s out for summer! My middle daughter had a rocky end to the school year. She got sick the second-to-last day of school, spiked a fever, and had to miss her class party. She also didn’t get to say goodbye to her beloved teacher, who is moving away this summer. The poor girl was also
