Best Laid Plans and Other Nonsense
Greetings dear friends. It has been far too long since I’ve stopped in to say hello. Or perhaps it has only been a few weeks. Time feels irrelevant at the moment as days feel forever long and each day brings new information and challenges. I’m sure most of you already are, or will be soon, under quarantine orders. Social distancing is SUPER IMPORTANT so please make sure you’re following all CDC guidelines. I’m not here to be on a soapbox just please keep your distance so we can all get back to some level of normal soon. PRETTY PLEASE. Okay,…

Sunday Funday
Greetings friends! I know Sunday is technically the beginning of the week, but for me it always feels like the end of the week. I mean, Monday is the start of the work week so shouldn’t we just start the week there too? No? I guess that makes sense, but I digress. It’s ANOTHER super cold day here in Minnesota and so we’re staying indoors and trying to keep the toddlers entertained. Nothing like a -40° windchill to brighten up your day. I hope all of you are keeping warm, wherever you may be today. Since it’s Funday, I thought…

Birthdays and Anniversaries, Oh my!
Greetings my bookish friends! It has been a bit since I’ve done a personal update and today happens to be my birthday so instead of working on the several reviews I need to do, I decided a fun post was in order. I actually made that cake in the picture for my little ones 3rd birthday a few weeks ago. Yes, she’s 3 now. CRAZY right? When we asked Peanut what kind of party she wanted she said “a rainbow monster cake to scare my friends cause that would be funny”. I enjoy baking as a hobby so I figured…

Happy Mother’s Day and Bout of Books eve!
Greetings my lovely reader friends! Long time no talk. For those that celebrate it, Happy Mother’s Day! Being a mom is so rewarding in so many ways, unfortunately getting more reading/blogging done isn’t one of those ways. I have two kids under 3 so my days are full and my nights are sometimes fuller. They bring a lot of joy to my life but I do miss those moments where I could curl up with a good book and just read ALLLLLLL day long. Luckily, every few months a fabulous read-a-thon event comes along that motivates me to TRY to…

Vacations, Babies, and Blogging- Oh My!
Greetings my fellow readers! It has been far too long since I’ve done a personal update and I *magically* have 2 sleeping children at the moment so I figured now is my chance! If you’re wondering why our site has been so quiet this week it’s because Jessica is on vacation. I’m sure we’ll hear more about her many adventures when she gets back, but until then you’re stuck with just me. Unfortunately I haven’t been doing a ton of reading/blogging stuff lately but bear with us, we’ll have more updates soon. If you’ve been following our blog for a…
