Here we are in the final stretch of the year… can you even believe I’m saying that?! Another summer is gone, fall is (supposed to be) in the air, and I’ve jumped onto the PSL train wondering what I’ve even been doing with my life?! Hope your fall is off to a great start. Lessons…

Reading Review – May and June 2023
I can’t believe summer is in full swing already! We’ve had a rocky start to the summer with three separate illnesses and a major reading funk, but the weather has been incredible here in Nor Cal and for that I am grateful. I’m really looking forward to camping, fresh tomatoes from the garden, and some…
Reading Review – March 2023
Phew, what a month! I’m not sure how much sun we saw in March, but if April does shower, I sure hope I can live to see the May flowers… One of the bright sides to the rain was the extra hours for reading! March was a record reading month for me, and I was…
Reading Review – November 2022
And just like that it’s December… the rain has finally arrived and Christmas is in full swing! This time of year is so bittersweet for me. I love all things Christmas, but the pressure to make it magical while my husband tends to work a lot of overtime, is physically exhausting and emotionally draining. I’m…
Reading Review – October 2022
I cannot believe that it’s November, like I just cannot. Christmas is less than two months away, I haven’t purchased a single thing (let alone made a list!) and my kids will NOT let me take away gifts from the festivities this year (can’t blame me for trying!). Cue Stephanie Tanner – “How Ruuuuude!” October…
Reading Review – August 2022

Reading Review – February and March 2022
Heyyyyyyy! Remember me? I haven’t forgotten about you, I’ve just been you know, a wee bit crazy. But writing two months of book reviews is just too much, so I’m going to try harder (so much harder) to write them monthly – even if it’s just a couple of books. I even have my first…
Reading Review: January 2022
Hello, friends! How ARE you? Are you taking care of yourself? Are you remembering to breathe? Someday I will get back on track over here, but man it’s hard. Right now I’m just giving myself grace – I hope you are too. January was an enjoyable month of reading! I finished four books which makes…
Reading Review: November and December 2021
Hey friends! The last month has been NUTS to say the least, and I’m trying to get back into the swing of things. After single parenting for weeks over the holidays, and my husband returning home with the dreaded C-19 in his back pocket, we have taken a ride on the struggle bus for sure!…
Reading Review: August and September 2021
August and September included lots of great books! Come see what I’ve been reading and tell me what I need to add to my never-ending TBR. Everything Here is Beautiful: 4 stars! This was our September book club pick! Sisters Miranda and Lucia Bok are complete opposites. While Miranda is responsible, Lucia is unpredictable. But…
