It's only a couple hours drive for us and it is a completely different landscape compared to our neck of the woods. Speaking of camping, this week's featured book has a sweet little camper trailer right on the cover!

Hello, reader friends!!! I apologize for being scarce this week, life has been a bit crazier than usual! I've been busy driving our kids to daily swimming lessons (forty minutes each way) and it hasn't been smooth sailing for all of them so we spent an afternoon getting some extra practice in a friend's pool, too.
