February Bookish wrap

I’ve had to adjust my Goodreads 2022 challenge total a few times. I started with my usual 15 books. Something I started back when my son was a baby, and I knew I wouldn’t have much time to sit and read (at least, not do so at the expense of sleep). I figured roughly a […]

January reads from Bookish

My Bookish highlights on my Instagram just aren’t cutting it, and as I’m actually at a place in parenthood where reading is a far more regular thing, it seems that highlight tab is becoming overwhelming.

Medal Monday: Running to the Solstice.

Since the road races around here don’t give out medals… can I still call this a Medal Monday? …Rolling the stroller with my son in it up to the back of the pack, readying for takeoff, I didn’t have a game plan. I never do when I’m competing in any way. My plan develops as […]

Making peace.

This morning was a blur in my house. I have averaged possibly 4 hours of sleep in the past 72 hours. And not because of baby. I have a fog horn that refuses to see a doctor that shares the bed with me. We got up late to meet a friend for a walk. I […]
