pickSo much about decorating and crafting and baking and decorating and crafting and baking, more than I want to read about any of those subjects. But everything else about the book was wonderful. I loved watching Joy, who has been happily child free, panic at having to take care of a child for an hour or two five days a week, and then develop a close relationship with said child. And Ben is the perfect man. I swooned all the way to the last page.
How do you write a book, and the main characters aren‘t readers?
pickStill wrapping up a few Christmasy reads for #WinterGames and #ReadOuttheOld This month I've focused on books that I already owned and have checked off 15 books (some of which included multiple shorter stories), almost all of which are now in the donate box, meaning I have room for that many more Christmas books for next year!! 😂
This one was a soft pick. It's classic workaholic city girl has to go home and get caught up in small town ⬇
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

so-soI listened to the audiobook of this story. The narrator wasn't my favorite, but I still enjoyed the book. The story was entertaining, however, the romance just didn't seem to flow naturally. It almost felt forced at times. I liked everything else about it, though.
Watched 2 Christmas movies today, Good Morning Christmas (which I'd never seen) and Christmas Joy (which I had seen and loved and also read the book it's based on which is terrific). I am a sucker for super cheesy holiday movies.
Henry and I also caught a Puppy Dog Pals Christmas episode this morning.

Almost time to take down this shelf I compiled after Thanskgiving on the dining room. *sighs* Have you read any of these?

Five days ago, we moved. There are boxes piled everywhere. I still can't find the iron or the wineglasses (sad face! 🙁). But the sons came home for the holidays, and they can't conceive of a Christmas without a tree. So here we are. The things we do for our kids. Even when those kids are 24 and 21. 🙄
I came home from fighting the grocery store crowds to this lovely card from @CrowCAH ! Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and yours! Being married to a church musician, I‘m lucky if we get our cards out by Epiphany.
I let my 16 year old choose my next read from my tbr stack. This was her pick. Starting it this morning. Hoping it'll put me in a festive (or at least moderately decent) mood. ☃️
#MerryChristmas Littens & to anyone who has to work this #ChristmasDay. We are between gatherings & could not believe Starbucks was open. Loading up on caffeine to keep this old body going. Hugs to all who need them today 🤗
