One thing that’s becoming clear as I sink further into motherhood is that an alternative career path as a children’s librarian would be very fulfilling. There are few topics that hold my attention more than the endless discovery of books. Children’s literature is supreme, in a way, because you can consume so many books in … Continue reading Sweet Fall Board Books

Favorite Board Books for Babies & Toddlers that are Beautiful, Entertaining, & Educational
I found this draft from last summer… but it holds up!! What have you been reading with your kids lately? There's not much I love more than reading about and finding new books - I think I prefer it over actually reading books, hah! That's why I love used bookstores so much. The hunt for … Continue reading Favorite Board Books for Babies & Toddlers that are Beautiful, Entertaining, & Educational
2020 Reads
If 2020 was good for one thing, it was reading more than I ever have before (well, since I was little and read ~12 picture books a day). I read so many books that had been on my to-read or to-read-read list for ages, as well as some new releases and a few that I … Continue reading 2020 Reads

Thrillers

Tidying Up
By now I'm sure you've heard of Marie Kondo's bestselling book on organization, the Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. A year ago when I found out about online yard sale sites, I got really into purging EVERYTHING we didn't need and selling it on Facebook or ebay. I am extremely proud of how diligent and … Continue reading Tidying Up
The Time Garden
Don't you love that title? It sounds like I'm going to write something amazing and creative and inspiring! But here's the deal - I received this book for free from Blogging for Books, in exchange for my honest opinion. "The Time Garden" is an adult coloring book. I know what you're thinking. That sounds.... creepy, … Continue reading The Time Garden
