In adulthood, May feels like a filler month—not quite spring, not quite summer. But once upon a time, we spent the entire year counting down until May. It was when school was finally out, and our days became packed with seasonal activities. You had the freedom to slow down and enjoy the fact that the […]

After a slow start to my reading year, April has been a GREAT reading month for me and I’ve been flying through books which has been so fun (and good timing as I finalize this year’s Summer Reading Guide which is coming out in a few weeks!).  Here’s what I’m reading right now Styx and […]

Ever since my parents left on a church mission to France last year, we knew we wanted to go visit them while they were there. They live just outside of Paris, but since we’d spent a full week in Paris and hit most of the major sites just a few years ago, we weren’t interested […]

But apparently, it was just foreshadowing. After a slow return over the past couple of seasons, boat shoes have officially re-entered the chat […]

We just got home from our spring break trip and it feels SO GOOD to be home!  I’m hoping for a quiet weekend getting over my jet lag and finishing up some good books (and probably doing a puzzle or two!)  Here are some of my favorite book deals going on right now. The Unselected […]
