@beccatopol hey there! My 4 year old son is obsessed with #miratheroyaldetective—24/7 singing and dancing to the music here! It’s really helped this last year so thank you! I have so many questions about this show, might start a #mira ‘bookclub’-type group for grown-ups soon :)

@marthabwaters @witchofthewords @printbookstore Loved this so much! My husband, three year old son and I watched while we ate dinner on Monday night :) And now I feel like I have to rewatch both Pride and Prejudice movies to make an updated decision on 'the best' xoxo

@RachelFersh Ugghh. My three year old caught covid in preschool a few weeks ago. It spread thru school like wildfire, entire place closed. Thankfully, he wasn’t seriously ill but since sending him to school is the only risk we take (no outings or seeing friends etc), not sure what else to do?

@marthabwaters Looking forward to apple-picking next weekend! 🍎🍏 fall is just the best!🍁🍂

@witchofthewords Just finished Twice Shy and just loved it. It's so soft and tender and funny. And I know this sounds weird, but my favorite Spotify-created playlist is called Warm Fuzzy Feeling and as I listen this morning, it just completely reminds me of Maybell and Wesley xo

@katherine_heiny just finished Early Morning Riser tonight and loved it so much. There is such tenderness throughout that hit my heart in just the right way. I’ll miss the entire frustrating but endearing crew in Boyne City xo

@jamiattenberg @livrstrat Really loved this on Tuesday. I watched while my husband and I ate dinner, and he enjoyed too :) just ordered Cheat Day and can't wait to read xo

@cpooleywriter just finished The Authenticity Project and couldn't have loved it more. Thank you for this book, which I happened to read at a time when I really needed it xo

So interesting, I'm always hesitant to use the first few pages of recipes that come up in a google search! RT @slate Why do certain recipes rise to the top of Google’s results? It’s not because the algorithm did a taste testing. https://t.co/MTWDr1OKha

@Angie_Hockman Just finished #shipped last night and loved it! H and G are the best, and I learned so much about the Galapagos!! I just googled sneezing marine iguanas... xo
