Summer Solstice

Duxbury Beach

Today is officially the first day of summer. Here in New England, that’s a very big deal. Three cheers for beaches, bike rides, and barbecues!

Chicago Pom Pom Tree

A Friday ritual inspired by Soule Mama. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Have a lovely weekend!

I just finished reading the first of a handful of ARC’s picked up at this year’s Book Expo America—Room: A Novel by Emma Donoghue—and loved it. ROOM by Emma Donoghue 9780316098335

Although it took me a few pages to get past the young narrators tendency to personify household objects, it wasn’t long before I was smitten with him. The relationship Jack shares with his mother is strong and endearing despite their horrendous circumstances. Scary, sweet, and sometimes sad, it’s definitely one of those books that makes you think about your own life and loved ones and say: “I can’t even imagine.”
