Happy Mother’s day to all you mothers out there! For all others, happy Sunday!
After some pretty horrible weather last week, we’ve been granted some pretty gorgeous weather here! Last night the boys, hubby & I enjoyed our first bonfire of the summer, toasting marshmallows and enjoying the beautiful weather.
Last week was a busy one; my oldest son had strep so my husband and I had to alternate staying home with him. He’s much better now, thank goodness. He’s reading once again, right now he’s absorbing the latest Big Nate book.
I had quite the bookish week! Tuesday I led a discussion of Pictures of You at One More Page Books. It was quite the discussion, one of our best, I think. Thursday night I was back at One More Page for the Helen Simonson event. It was a packed event, standing room only. At last count, there were more than 60 people in attendance:
Helen was such a treat to listen to, full of wisdom and humor:
It was truly a delightful event!
Saturday, the boys & I went to (you guessed it!) One More Page where the boys created some adorable Mother’s Day cards for me. As we left, Justin insisted on ringing up his own purchases:
A future bookseller in the making! I’m quite proud!
Today I’m enjoying Mother’s Day with my boys & Husband, curled up on the couch, watching Harry Potter. The best mother’s day present ever 
In case you missed it, here’s what happened on the blog last week:
- Frightful Friday: They’re Watching by Gregg Hurwitz
- Review: Pictures of You by Caroline Leavitt
- Review: The Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison Allen
- Review: The Violets of March by Sarah Jio
Wishing everyone a happy week!
