    What I am reading 12/12/25

    I was so grateful for the breath that this week gave me, and yes, I spent much of it reading. The first week of December made me feel like this could very well be the hardest holiday season I have ever experienced. So when I noticed there was a gaping hole in our schedule this…

    What I am reading 12/5/25

    We are fully in the holiday season, and I’m not reading as much as I would like. But probably more than I should. This has been the busiest week of my life. We spent Thanksgiving in North Carolina visiting family. When we came back on Sunday, our six hour trip turned into an eight hour…

    What I am reading 11/14/25

    It’s been a busy week, but I’m still happily reading. I was devastated at the end of last week. The run club I had so loved over the last three years showed it wasn’t worthy of that love. That left me sad. I was so sad that my partner was worried I’d never run again.…

    What I am reading 11/7/25

    This week is that breath between being too busy. Halloween is over and the countdown to the holiday season has not quite begun. We’re just getting ready to tuck into our warm cocoons as the weather cools. We’re in denial about Thanksgiving. And I, for one, have been reading a lot. I really minimized what…

    What I am reading 9/26/25

    It’s been a tough week, and I have not been reading the way that I would like. My daughter burst into preschool thinking every kid would instantly be her best friend. She probably made every mistake in the book, but after checking with the teacher, I decided to let her make those mistakes without any…

    What I am reading 9/19/25

    It’s been a weird and wonderful week. And although it’s been full of library joy, I haven’t been reading as much. This week started off with a realization that this quick story about my daughter I had told on Threads was not only going viral for me, but it was also being picked up by…

    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 6/6/25

    I have my mojo back, and I’m reading again. It seriously bummed me out that I just fell flat last month. I was starting to think it was going to be a rough climb out of it. But then, like a switch, things turned back on. And I’ve been chugging along ever since. My house…

    What I Am Reading 5/9/25

    After a busy April, I thought May would be easier. I was wrong, and I’m still struggling with reading. It’s fine. It just feels like everything is happening at once. Wouldn’t it be easier for it to happen one at time? Why doesn’t the world want to slow down? Why does it always seem to…

    What I Am Reading 3/14/25

    It’s been a week of just trying to get by while I am sick. And no, I haven’t been reading as much as I would like. Last weekend, we did a quickie trip to meet my brand new great nephew. There is a pattern when I visit my sister and her family: We always get…
