Rachel Ignotogsky’s Women in Science is a seriously fun book. Rachel gives a quick bio of fifty women scientists who changed the world. I’m excited to read this book with Elsie—she will love learning about girl heroes, and she’ll have fun with the illustrations. Speaking of, the amazing visuals (and doodles) may be one of my most favorite parts. This book is… Read More
This post is part of Love Bailey Jean’s 2016 Blog-tember Challenge. Five things that bring me joy right now: (1) Finding little boy toys in my plants. (2) A stack of books waiting to be read and reviewed. (3) Hot tea. Generally I’m all about the coffee, but this week fight a cough and sore throat and all the sickness, hot… Read More

The most beautiful library in each US state. This makes me want to take film photos again. Things you can learn from the Doctor. (yes,… Read More
Yesterday we laid my Grandfather to rest (wasn’t he so handsome?) He was an amazing man, and he will be greatly missed. He’s been in my mind a lot this week and we’ve prepared for the funeral—and yesterday was the perfect, rainy day. In my mind funerals always happen on rainy, dreary days. This is a super short list of some… Read More
This weekend is filled with parties celebrating my five-year-old! Enjoy these fun links I’ve found around the web this week. Diving into trying to understand my succulents and make them thrive! (and hopefully propagating some of them will help!) Interesting way Jane Austen edited her novels. Excited to make tons of these for quick breakfasts before school (which generally means… Read More
