Books find their way to me in various ways, and my reasons for choosing to read them can vary. Today’s book reviews include a twist on a childhood favorite; the first in a cozy mystery series (for which I’m a true sucker); a book from an author I heard interviewed recently on a podcast; the… Continue Reading

To be a mom—really, to be a human—is to constantly be pulled in a million directions at once. Our days are spent juggling housework, meal preparation, and kids’ schedules as we attempt to keep our houses clean, our families fed and entertained, and our selves somewhat sane.
