There’s a running joke that for someone who loves books as much as I do, I’m pretty terrible with libraries. When we lived in Charlotte I think baby Ender destroyed more library books than I ever actually read, and after moving here and having a baby I imagined a life where we go to the library and get books every week. I did it exactly two times and then this week decided to try again, where I learned that I owed $8 in late fees.

With the exception of the past few years, I have spent the better part of six years eating Paleo, but never actually did a Whole 30. (This challenge will be put on pause this Sunday, because we’re going to brunch for Mother’s Day and I have to have fried chicken. Or kimchi fried rice. Or maybe both.)

We have flown to the East Coast with Sophie 5 times in the past 17 months, and while it’s been so fun to see our family and friends so much, it’s been kind of exhausting and definitely expensive.

It’s kind of sad but we’re really excited to stay put (especially for the holidays), maybe even taking some time to finally explore Southern California.
