You win "Mom of The Year," Jenn! So impressed by how much you manage to pull off in a week. It's lovely that you and your son get on so well and enjoy each other's company. I can't remember if I recommended the books "Magpie Murders" and "Moonflower Murders" by Anthony Horowitz to you before? They are very fun murder mystery books, written as books within books. Great writing and hard to put down.

I feel your parenting pangs. I’m at the other end being an empty nester. Just know that one day you will look back on all those games and practices with huge appreciation. You will have many summers ahead where you will focus on self care.

Every book is a beach read for me. I am book picky. I read slow-- every word-- so if it doesn’t grab me by page 100 I’m done. That said, author Gil Paul has a couple of page turners-- maybe that constitutes a beach read. Women and Children First was a quick read and enjoyable. It’s historical fiction about survivors of the Titanic.
