Since becoming a mother myself, I seem to be keenly aware at all times of the mothers all around me–I marvel at them in the supermarket as they wrangle with four small children, I nod in sympathy as a bleary-eyed mom attempts to shush her wailing newborn as she straps him in his carseat, …
I mentioned in several posts back that the first 13 weeks of pregnancy made me too sick to even read, which is partly the reason I took such a long break from blogging about what books I’d finished lately. However, it’s been several months since then, and I’d like to get back on track (especially …

Maybe it’s just coincidence, but I’ve had several experiences (like I mentioned in this post) that basically prove to me that many people just aren’t familiar with the classics anymore, even by name. Now, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not intimately familiar with every single classic (yet), but because I set the crazy …
Along with icy lemonade, grilled burgers, and fireworks displays, summer should definitely be a time for reading.
