What are you up to this week, babes? I’ve been riding the high of seeing a new project come to fruition! Our podcast went live on Sunday and it has been so fun to hear feedback. It has also been fun to feel my power season approaching. Down in mono-season South Florida, I had forgotten how much I LOVE early Fall. The other night we had stormy/chilly weather and I was practically giddy with candle lighting and chicken noodle soup eating. Hope you have a good Wednesday, and here are a few articles and links for you to peruse…

It worries me to think so many kids aren’t learning to read correctly, or well. I hope our kids will grow up to love reading and books the way I do!
I am sure they will! I really think my love of reading came more from seeing my parents read/appreciate books than it did from a classroom.
Yikes – that is one acrimonious divorce!!! But super excited to check out your podcast! 🙂 Charlie xo
