Welcome
Thanks for stopping by.
I love to connect with other moms and professionals who are trying to find joy in the mayhem of kids, work, aging parents, partners, getting groceries and an occasional blow out (hopefully the good kind).
I know reading can be a luxury. It can also be a lifeline.
Dive in or take a nap, whichever you need most right now. I’ll be here.
