I intended to get this post up back in January, when the whole “We’re starting a brand-new decade!” felt a bit more relevant. Needless to say, having three kids now is keeping me busier than ever, and now that my oldest’s preschool has been canceled due to the pandemic, that designated blogging bit of time …
For me, summer is the time to catch up on all the latest releases that everyone is buzzing about. This summer was no exception, as my library agreed to purchase about a dozen brand new titles for me (many on my Summer Reading List), which meant I was first in line to see if the …

Welcome to Round 11 of this little series I started of all the things in life I’m loving and learning lately!
