    What I am reading 9/12/25

    The preschool funk has hit me and hit me hard. But I’m still reading. At the end of last week, I started feeling exhausted and congested. My daughter started feeling the same, and I had to keep her home from school on Friday. The virus had just hit her too hard. It was starting to…

    What I am reading 9/5/25

    I had sixteen hours riding in a car, so you better believe I did some heavy reading last weekend. I don’t get to see my family very often, because they live so far away. It was a welcome break from constantly being worried about my daughter. She has people who are dying to entertain her,…

    What I am reading 8/29/25

    I’m writing this with tears streaking down my face after a rough week. But somehow I’ve kept reading. I knew preschool would be hard. It was always going to be a big change for our family, and I think for the most part, we’ve handled that well. Have I turned into a mad woman in…

    What I am reading 8/22/25

    The reading slow down has happened, and I am back to reading like normal! This was bound to happen. My daughter started preschool on Wednesday. She was excited. Too excited. And in addition to that, we had an ungodly amount of paperwork to do. Why is there so much? And why did they give it…

    What I am reading 8/15/25

    It’s been a whirlwind of a week. And yet, I’m still reading. Next week, my daughter starts preschool and there’s just been this piece of me that wants to fit in all those things we didn’t get around to doing this summer. But I think I’m finally realizing a lot of things are just not…

    What I Am Reading 8/8/25

    I am on a spree with reading and it feels good. There has been a lot going on over the last couple of months, and I had to put reading on the back bench. I didn’t like it. It didn’t feel good. And I wanted to come back to it. And then I started getting…

    What I Am Reading 8/1/25

    It’s been an odd week, but odd in a good way. And of course that oddness included my reading. I think I was burnt out and didn’t recognize it until my daughter went to summer camp. All of a sudden I had time again. I had time to think and do. What did I do…

    What I Am Reading 7/25/25

    All of a sudden I got super busy, and some things had to go. But not reading. My daughter turned three! And she had the rockstar party of her dreams. Considering it was right around the Fourth of July, it felt like a good time to stop blogging for a second. I just didn’t realize…

    What I Am Reading 6/20/25

    I am back to reading at a terrific pace, and I’m so happy about that. There’s something horrible about not being able to do one of your favorite activities when you’re not feeling well. I just knew that if I kept pushing it that things would get better. But it didn’t. So I just kept…

    What I Am Reading 6/13/25

    Things have been pretty awful, and yet I’m still reading. I think that in dark places, the most rebellious thing you can do is create moments of joy. And maybe that’s where my focus has been lately. I’m building a fairy garden for my daughter. When the world feels bleak, I add to the fairy…
