reading update
I am currently reading couple of pages with a lukewarm coffee in my little mama hidey hole…getting into this snowstorm thriller/mystery just in time for this weekend’s snowstorm. Make it a little fun (and probably have a ton of anxiety if I have to do animal chores in the dark). And I’m sure next I’ll…

2025 reading wrapup (better late than never)
21 books and about 6,526 pages (with some pages carried over with the 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle) comprised my 2025 reading life. What a different year of reading. So many parenting books, such a shift in my availability to read, less patience with books that I wasn’t loving, and so much more. Honestly,…

reading lately
What I’ve been reading lately, while ignoring this blog and getting stuck laughing at mom and political memes on my personal Instagram. Recently Finished Currently reading On hiatus for a year (oops) I’ve never been one to really pick up mysteries except for Agatha Christie and the random Tana French that I read this summer. …

mama reading
Life’s reading. Our babies run our lives, that’s for sure. And our reading lives. For my personal reading – Euphoria? Abandoned. Too weird, unsurprisingly for how books from the 2010s have been going for me. Almost all of the books that I’ve picked up from that decade have just been too liberal for me. The…

reading on hold
What i was currently reading (when I actually took these pics) …until a couple of days ago when the mama brain took over and I’m now immersed in books on starting solids. Maybe I’ll get to post the BLW books tomorrow, maybe I’ll post them in a month, WHO KNOWS 🤷🏻♀️ motherhood doesn’t give much…

now reading
Oh, how exciting it was to finish Meet Me At the Lake a few days ago. Not a favorite, but it was a refreshing pre-summer read. Now I’m figuratively tapping my feet in excitement as I write this to start Braiding Sweetgrass. Last night, I opened Poems of Parenting by Loryn Brantz – a gift…

rainy sunday thoughts
I understand. I finally understand reading a lot of chick lit and romance. Not that i ever judged anyone for it before. (The only thing I judge people for reading is when they have child predator tendencies.) But i was never able to do several chick lit or romance books preceding one another. They were…

what i finished reading
At this point in my postpartum reading journey, I think it’s safe to say that monthly wrapups are a thung of the past. They could possibly be in my future. But my reading is so much slower at the moment (and I’m okay with that 🩶). So I’ll share books as I finish them (or…
