Summer Reading
There are no clean spoons in the house so as I type this, I am currently stirring creamer into my coffee with a spatula. (… girls gotta do what girls gotta do. Especially when there is morning caffeine on the line) And in other news: It’s getting hot. Summer is here. I can always tell,…
When Husband’s Get Old
The most amazing, funny, gorgeous, beautiful thing happened to me over the weekend! But before I can tell you what that was, I need to give you a bit of back-story… [CLICK HERE to read on the blog]My husband and I both get our hair cut at the same place, but not by the same stylists,…
Have you ever read more than one book in a day?
The man I love & adore + me, sitting side-by-side on the couch… The Husband: “You want to watch a movie?” Me: “I can’t. I have to finish this book. It’s only been okay, but I’m almost to the end and I have to see if it redeems itself.” The Husband: “Okay, I’ll just watch something with headphones.”…
Sneezing while reading – A Dangerous Combo

To firemen (and the romance novels about them!)
My best friend is a teacher with maybe the best commute home from work on the planet…. Not because it’s short. Or because there’s a great wine bar on the way Or a discount store selling Vera Bradley purses at 75% off (..wait, that’s my thing, not hers… anyway…) Her commute is AMAZING because, on…
Reading and the smell of burned popcorn…
My “real” job was crazy this week so when the weekend came, all I wanted to do was: Sit on Couch Read my books Snack and drink wine (or course) All was going according to plan until… … I walked away from the microwave popcorn. My first hint that something might be off was…
Reading Date Night – When All You Want to Do is Stay in and Read
About 8 months ago, my husband and I — realizing that we don’t spend a TON of time together with just the two of us — decided to start having monthly “date nights” (I know… just in time for COVID) Photo Credit: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/442971313339599246/ Needless to say, it’s been a lot of eating… in our car… while…
Sleep is good. Books are better
Below is a very short recap of a conversation I just had with a friend Me: “I’m not sure what to do… I just have so much trouble falling asleep!” Her: “Why don’t you try reading a book? That puts me to sleep in like 5 minutes.” Me: … 😐 “… You don’t know me at all, do…
