Happy Friday, bookish friends! I don’t know about y’all but things are starting to get busy here. Thanksgiving is less than a week away and families will be gathering which makes the next few days “clean your house like crazy” weekend. It’s an unofficial holiday which I just created and will be observing begrudgingly because cleaning your house with kids is like brushing your teeth while eating Oreos.
It’s an unofficial holiday which I just created and will be observing begrudgingly because (when you have kids) cleaning your house is like brushing your teeth while eating Oreos. So, because I care about your mental well being, I’m pointing you to a sweet little novella you can read while vacuuming or wiping the baseboards (LOL, I’m making myself laugh! Who wipes baseboards when there’s cookies to eat bake?)

She’d heard about not crying over spilled milk, but no one had ever warned against weeping over melted ice.
