How is it already May?! It’s true what they say, the days are long but the years are short. The first few months flew by but they were filled with tons of fun moments and milestones in our house. As always, there’s tons of fun holidays to celebrate this month.

Bookish-wise I’m looking forward to celebrating Jewish American Heritage Month and celebrating Jewish authors and Jewish joy!

How on earth are we already in the second quarter of the year?! The first few months flew by and I can hardly believe it’s already April.

Finished Reading - March 2026

March was a slower reading month for me but it was a high quality successful month - I loved all the books I read; 3 new 5 stars and one 4.5 read. I’m also more than halfway through a few books, so I imagine April will be a much busier reading month from a finished book perspective. I’m also trying to be more mindful of screen time to have more reading time — I’m laughing at myself while I type up this post on my phone, but hey it’s better than watching tv!

I wasn’t very active here on Substack in March and as I’m drafting up my April holiday post, I realize I never shared the March list.

Goodness me, how quickly the end of the year is approaching. How are there only a few days left in the year?! We’re in that weird pocket of time that occurs between Christmas and New Year’s, where it’s difficult to tell what day it is. Many have time off work until next week, while others are still juggling work and trying to enjoy the last days of the holiday season. Whatever your week looks like, I’m wishing you special moments filled with joy.

January’s holiday lists:

January is almost here and it’s going to be filled with some wonderful reasons to celebrate; it’s still prime time for fireplace season, soup season, and taking time to reflect and start to plan for the year ahead. It’s also filled with fun literary holidays to celebrate - such as Winnie the Pooh’s 100th Birthday on the 18th!

What are you looking forward to in January?

Goodness me, how quickly the end of the year is approaching. I can hardly believe we’re in December with only a few weeks left in the year!

Fall is my favorite and November was filled with everyday magical moments in our house. Some top highlights of the month were two visits to the zoo, lots of pie and homemade food, and we celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. It was so nice to have a date night with a yummy dinner, followed by a performance of Miracle on 34th Street (our first live theatre event in years)!

We changed it up this year and did Thanksgiving at home for just the three of us; proud moment, everything was made from scratch except the stuffing!! 95% of the food was made by my husband and the kiddo and I were his sous chefs. It was also a busy month getting ready for the holidays; we got the majority of our holiday gift shopping done, decorated the house for the holidays, put up our gorgeous tree, and designed and ordered holiday photo cards to send out to friends and family.

November is always an interesting juxtaposition of the beauty of the leaves changing colors to falling and leaving the trees bare because winter is coming. Winter doesn’t officially start for three weeks but because of the holidays, it’s basically winter now. I may be a Fall loving girlie but I’m a sweater weather gal and love being cozy at home with the fire going, so winter is great too. I should also mention, our cats are both very happy that it’s fireplace season!

In case you missed it: last month I started up two weekly blog series; an ongoing weekly series called Chapters of Joy and a limited seasonal series called Little Shops of Joy. It’s been such a fun way to bring you unique bookish content and I hope you’ve been loving the interviews! Stay tuned for more weekly content.

Goodness me, how quickly the end of the year is approaching. I can’t believe Halloween is tomorrow!! It’s my favorite time of the year [in case you didn’t know, Fall is my favorite!!] but unfortunately I haven’t been able to enjoy it as much as I’d hoped; I spent a good chunk of the month being sick and trying to get over a cold. I’m still at the tail end of that but slowly starting to feel better. Despite battling a cold, we still managed to have some festive fun this month; we went to a local pumpkin patch, had a small Halloween party with some close friends, and this week my husband baked a homemade pumpkin pie for us to enjoy. Here’s to hoping November is filled with lots of Fall festive fun too!

Taking a different approach to my blogging has given me some time to truly think about what I want to bring to this space. Through some introspection, I’ve decided to start up two weekly blog series to share. One will be an ongoing series called Chapters of Joy and the other will be a limited seasonal series called Little Shops of Joy. Stay tuned for more weekly content!

SummerWeen Vibes

July is here and Summer is in full swing but I’ll be honest, I’m not loving the recent heat but I am loving the bright sunny days. I could also do without our kiddo taking the sunglasses we’re wearing every time we go out!

When it comes to bookish holidays and seasonal things, I’m not a Christmas in July gal but I do love SummerWeen. I enjoy reading paranormal witchy romance anytime of the year but I especially love that SummerWeen is a thing.

May showers bring June Flowers

Life can often be a juxtaposition of beautiful moments mixed with messy chaos. May was filled with ups but it also came with one devastating down for our family. Last week we received heartbreaking news that my husband’s younger brother unexpectedly passed away.

Simply put, we’re experiencing grief from an unexpected loss. It’s true what they say— it comes in waves and hits you when you least expect it. I won’t elaborate here but I will say that moments of grief remind me how important it is to embrace the joy in our lives and to find meaning and purpose in our everyday experiences.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Shamelessly sharing that June is one of my favorites because it’s my birthday month - and yes, I wrote birthday month for a reason - my birthday is June 1st and I like to celebrate all month long! I think it comes with being born on the first or perhaps it’s just because I love having a reason to celebrate.

June is filled to the brim with important seasonal holidays such as Father’s Day and the start of Summer. June 1st is the unofficial start to Summer Reading (reminder to check out your local library’s summer reading program - it likely runs from June 1st through the end of August), which essentially means my birthday is an unofficial reading holiday! It also means the book recommendations on social media are going to be flowing and I’m 100% here for it.

What’s at the top of my radar for June:

• June 15th: Father’s Day

• June 19th: Juneteenth {Cheers to my employer; it’s a Paid Holiday!}

• June 20th: First Day of Summer

• June 30th: OOTD Day & Social Media Day {Is it just me or does this immediately make you think of Stassi?}
