January felt a hundred days long and February went by in a blink. Looks like we’re going into March with our country at war. It’s exhausting to be informed right now. Let’s hope for peace soon…Here’s the roundup. Quote of the month:“Your greatest responsibility is to use your voice, for there are so many people, — Read More
Monthly Roundup: January 2026
If you feel like January has been about 108 days long, you are not alone. I feel the same. It has been a very emotionally draining month if you, like me, are affected by everything going on in our country and the world. I have a lot of anger and sadness over what’s happening with — Read More
Monthly Roundup: December 2025
And here we are at the end of 2025. It’s been A YEAR. I’ve felt very drained on a personal level, and then there’s the collective angst as we’re all living through strange times. ALSO, there has been so much joy (if you look for it). I’m hoping 2026 is a calmer year, but even — Read More
Books I read in 2025
Happy New Year’s Eve! One of my favorite end-of-year rituals is this book roundup. I get so much pleasure from taking a look back at my year in reading. I know my other bookworms get it. I read 148 books this year, which is pretty similar to the amount I’ve read the past several years. — Read More
Monthly Roundup: November 2025
Gone are the days of my weekly roundups. Life has been too busy. But I am aiming to do monthly roundups going forward. I am in complete disbelief that tomorrow is DECEMBER. What? I do feel like time goes faster as I get older, and Jessica Yellin recently added some insightful information on this topic: — Read More
Big ol’ roundup: October 10, 2025
I’ve given up on assigning any regular frequency to these roundups. Life has been incredibly busy, but I’m always making random notes in my phone about things I want to include in my roundup when I get around to it. I’m getting around to it today in large part because my daughter is off with — Read More
Weekly Roundup: September 19, 2025
This roundup has not been very weekly lately, but that’s okay. I’ve been really busy juggling some work projects. And, frankly, I’ve been too upset about what’s going on in the world to want to write my little roundup. Tensions are so high and witnessing the division (and downright venom) online is just…too much. I’m — Read More
Weekly Roundup: September 5, 2025
Hellllo and Happy September! I didn’t post last week because I was in the Netherlands. I did some book research there and also just had fun exploring. We went to the Dutch Grand Prix in the beach town of Zandvoort and it was such an amazing experience. I’ll include some trip photos at the end — Read More
Weekly Roundup: August 22, 2025
Happy Friday! It was back-to-school week for us this week and both my daughter and I are super excited. I really thrive with a routine and I think my daughter does too. It still feels like summer so we’ll keep those vibes around as long as possible, just with some homework mixed in. Here’s the — Read More
Weekly Roundup: August 15, 2025
Happy Friday! I have a million things on my to-do list so let’s get right to it… Quote of the week:“It is a little embarrassing that, after forty-five years of research and study, the best advice I can give to people is to be a little kinder to each other.” –Aldous Huxley What I’m reading:I’m — Read More
