My Summer Closet

May 26, 2020 | Fashion

Over the long weekend, I finished swapping out my summer and winter clothes which always feels like an exciting time in the year. Every Memorial Day I pack up my sweaters, scarves, and jackets, replacing them with breezy dresses, striped tees, and sunhats.

All the Books I’ve Read This Spring

May 19, 2020 | Book Club

10 weeks. 6.5 books. That's not too shabby! I'm not the fastest reader but I love to read and I've found that I'm reading more and watching less TV after Amalia goes to bed at night these days. It calms me before sleep and takes me out of my head for an hour every night. Here is a round-up of all the books I've read so far since we've been staying at home and a review of each, ranked from favorite to least favorite.
