At our suggestion, my MIL got my 8yo a CD boombox for Hanukkah along with a huge bin of CDs from my husband’s collection that have been sitting in her basement for ages and now my son spends so much time reading while listening to music and his complaints about being bored have reduced dramatically.

My book comes out in February and I want to spend some of my year traveling around a bit and doing reading events but I don’t really know how to make that happen. Has anyone done a DIY book tour and can pass along advice for how they made it work?

All advice for how to enjoy traveling with young kids is basically like “know that you’ll be miserable most of the time.”

There isn’t much in the treatment of women throughout history that I would want to see return but I think we should absolutely bring back the practice of shipping women off to the sea to recuperate. Like yes, please send me away to rest by the ocean until I am well again.

We were going to get a kitten for our family Hanukkah gift this year but instead I think we are going to get two kittens.

Told myself I was going to get all of my year-end stuff done before Christmas Eve so I could take the whole last week of the year to chill and do nothing so of course both of my children now have the flu.

It happens every December, you think you’re holding on, managing well through all the events and merriment, keeping yourself a safe distance from stress overload. Go me, you think. I got this. Hell, I’m even kind of enjoying the holiday season! But then…school spirit week arrives.
